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.
