Are background checks required for private gun sales in Tennessee?

  1. Yes, in all cases

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: No

In Tennessee, private gun sales do not require background checks. This means that individuals can sell firearms to each other without having to go through a background check process. It's important to note that this is in contrast to sales through licensed firearm dealers, where background checks are required for all transactions.
