What action is required if you move to Tennessee with a valid carry permit from another state?

Nothing, it is immediately recognized
Apply for a Tennessee permit within 30 days
Complete a Tennessee handgun safety course
Apply for a Tennessee permit within 6 months

The correct answer is: Apply for a Tennessee permit within 30 days

The correct action when moving to Tennessee with a valid carry permit from another state is to apply for a Tennessee permit within 30 days. Tennessee law recognizes carry permits from other states, but it requires new residents to obtain a Tennessee handgun carry permit if they wish to carry concealed in the state. This requirement ensures that all permit holders are familiar with Tennessee's specific laws and regulations regarding firearm ownership and carry. Moving from another state establishes residency in Tennessee, and timely application after establishing residency is important for compliance with local laws. Other options, such as immediate recognition without further action or several extended time frames for application, do not align with the requirement for new residents in Tennessee. Additionally, while safety courses can provide valuable knowledge, they are not a prerequisite for acquiring a Tennessee permit if you already hold a valid permit from another state.
