Is a background check required for private gun sales in Tennessee?

Yes, for all sales
No
Yes, but only for sales at gun shows
Yes, but only for handguns

The correct answer is: No

In Tennessee, private gun sales between individuals who are not licensed dealers are not subject to background checks. However, this does not apply to sales at gun shows, as they are required to conduct background checks. Additionally, although a background check is not required for private sales, both parties must be legally allowed to purchase a firearm and it is illegal to sell a firearm to someone who is prohibited from owning one.
