Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in Tennessee?

Yes, always
No, not required
Yes, but only for first-time buyers
Yes, but only for concealed carry

The correct answer is: No, not required

In Tennessee, a permit is not required to purchase a handgun. However, this does not mean that anyone can purchase a handgun without any restrictions. Federal law requires all firearm purchasers to undergo a background check, and Tennessee law prohibits certain individuals from possessing a firearm, including felons and individuals with certain mental health conditions. Therefore, while a permit may not be required, there are still regulations in place to ensure responsible gun ownership. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they imply that a permit is necessary in some capacity, but as stated before, a permit is not required to purchase a handgun in Tennessee.
