Is open carry of a handgun legal in Tennessee without a permit?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only in rural areas

  4. Only if the handgun is unloaded

The correct answer is: No

While some states allow for open carry of a handgun without a permit, or with a permit that is relatively easy to obtain, Tennessee is not one of them. This means that in Tennessee, it is illegal to openly carry a handgun without a permit. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that open carry without a permit is legal, which is not the case. Option C is incorrect because open carry is not limited to rural areas in Tennessee. Option D is also incorrect because even an unloaded handgun requires a permit to be openly carried in Tennessee.
