What is the minimum age to apply for a handgun carry permit in Tennessee?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 25 years old

  4. 30 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The minimum age to apply for a handgun carry permit in Tennessee is 21 years old. This aligns with state laws that set this age requirement to ensure that individuals have reached a level of maturity and responsibility suitable for handling firearms. Additionally, this age criterion is consistent with federal regulations, as individuals must also be 21 to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer. Options suggesting a younger age do not adhere to Tennessee's legal framework for obtaining a handgun carry permit.
