Can individuals carry a handgun in their vehicle without a permit in Tennessee?

  1. Yes, without any conditions

  2. No, it's always illegal

  3. Yes, if the gun is unloaded and stored separately from ammunition

  4. Yes, but the weapon must be stored in a locked container

The correct answer is: Yes, without any conditions

Individuals in Tennessee are allowed to carry a handgun in their vehicle without a permit, as long as it is not carried openly and complies with the state's open and concealed carry laws. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they all include some condition that limits the ability to carry a handgun without a permit. Additionally, option B is incorrect because there are certain circumstances where it may be legal to carry a handgun in a vehicle without a permit, such as when transporting it to and from a shooting range or while hunting.
