What type of background check is required for a handgun purchase in Tennessee?

Federal NICS check
State-level background check only
No background check for private sales
Both A and B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

Tennessee requires both a Federal NICS check and a state-level background check for handgun purchases. These checks are required to ensure that the buyer is eligible to legally possess a firearm. Option A is incorrect because Tennessee also requires a state-level background check in addition to the Federal NICS check. Option B is incorrect because only a state-level background check is not enough to complete a handgun purchase in Tennessee. Option C is incorrect because even for private sales, a background check is still required in Tennessee. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
