Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in Tennessee?

Yes, always
No, but background checks are required
Yes, but only for residents
No, there are no such requirements

The correct answer is: No, but background checks are required

In Tennessee, a permit is not required to purchase a handgun. However, background checks are required by federal law. Option A is incorrect because there are certain exceptions for individuals with valid handgun carry permits. Option C is incorrect because both residents and non-residents are subject to the same laws and requirements. Option D is incorrect because, although there are no specific permit requirements, background checks are still necessary.
