In Tennessee, is open carry of a handgun permitted without a permit?

Yes, without restrictions
Yes, but only in rural areas
No
Yes, but only with proof of gun safety training

The correct answer is: No

Open carry of a handgun in Tennessee is not permitted without a permit. While it may be legal in some states to openly carry a handgun without a permit, Tennessee requires individuals to obtain a concealed carry permit in order to carry a handgun openly in public. Option A is incorrect because open carry is not allowed without a permit in Tennessee. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that open carry is only allowed in rural areas, but in reality it is not allowed at all without a permit. Option D is incorrect because although proof of gun safety training is required to obtain a concealed carry permit in Tennessee, this does not apply to open carry.
