When transporting a firearm in a vehicle in Tennessee, how must the firearm be stored if you do not have a carry permit?

Unloaded and locked in the glove compartment
Unloaded and in plain view
Loaded but not chambered
No specific requirements

The correct answer is: Unloaded and locked in the glove compartment

The correct choice emphasizes that when transporting a firearm in a vehicle in Tennessee without a carry permit, the firearm must be unloaded and locked in the glove compartment. This requirement is in place to enhance safety and ensure that firearms are not easily accessible while driving, reducing the risk of accidents and unintentional use. The option regarding having the firearm unloaded and in plain view does not align with the legal requirements for individuals who do not possess a carry permit, as having a firearm in plain view can lead to potential safety concerns and legal issues. Similarly, stating that the firearm can be loaded but not chambered does not comply with Tennessee law for those without a carry permit. Lastly, the idea that there are no specific requirements underestimates the regulations that govern firearm transportation in the state. Adhering to locking the firearm in the glove compartment ensures compliance and promotes safe handling practices while on the road.
