The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Tennessee, the minimum age to obtain a handgun carry permit is indeed 21 years old. This requirement is in place to ensure that individuals who are granted the responsibility of carrying a handgun in public have achieved a certain level of maturity and responsibility, which is typically associated with being of legal adult age. This regulation aligns with guidelines that recognize the serious nature of carrying a firearm, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that permit holders have the necessary judgment and understanding of firearm safety and laws. The age requirements reflect a broader legislative approach aimed at promoting responsible gun ownership and public safety.
