What type of firearm safety course is required for obtaining a handgun carry permit in Tennessee?

An online course only
A course approved by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency
A state-certified firearms safety course
No course is required

The correct answer is: A state-certified firearms safety course

A state-certified firearms safety course is required for obtaining a handgun carry permit in Tennessee. This type of course ensures that individuals seeking to carry a handgun have received proper education and training on firearm safety, handling, and laws. It is crucial for permit holders to have a good understanding of how to safely operate a firearm to prevent accidents and promote responsible gun ownership. While online courses may be informative, a state-certified firearms safety course provides hands-on training and verification of skills. Courses approved by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency may focus more on hunting safety, which is not necessarily the same as handgun carry permit requirements. Lastly, the option stating that no course is required is incorrect as Tennessee law mandates completing a firearms safety course as a prerequisite for obtaining a handgun carry permit.
