Under Tennessee law, which of the following is a factor in denying a handgun carry permit application?

  1. Previous bankruptcy

  2. Speeding ticket within last year

  3. Dishonorable discharge from the Armed Forces

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Dishonorable discharge from the Armed Forces

A dishonorable discharge from the Armed Forces is a significant factor in denying a handgun carry permit application in Tennessee. Such a discharge is considered a serious negative mark against an individual's character and may indicate a lack of judgment or adherence to lawful behavior. Tennessee law aims to ensure that individuals permitted to carry handguns possess a certain level of responsibility and reliability, and a dishonorable discharge raises concerns about these qualities. In contrast, a previous bankruptcy does not directly relate to an individual's ability to responsibly carry a handgun, as financial issues can arise from various circumstances and do not necessarily reflect on a person's character or conduct related to firearm safety. Similarly, a speeding ticket, while indicative of traffic law violations, is generally not considered a significant enough offense to affect someone's eligibility for a handgun carry permit.
