Are individuals under the age of 21 allowed to possess handguns in Tennessee?

  1. Yes, in all circumstances

  2. No, under no circumstances

  3. Yes, but only for military members

  4. Yes, but there are specific exceptions such as for employment

The correct answer is: Yes, but there are specific exceptions such as for employment

Individuals under the age of 21 are not allowed to possess handguns in Tennessee under most circumstances. Option A is incorrect because it implies that all individuals, regardless of age, are allowed to possess handguns which is not true. Option B is also incorrect because there are exceptions for certain circumstances. Option C is incorrect because the only exception for individuals under 21 to possess a handgun is for certain employment purposes, not just for military members. Therefore, option D is the best answer.
