How long is a standard Tennessee handgun carry permit valid before it needs to be renewed?

  1. 4 years

  2. 5 years

  3. 8 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 8 years

In Tennessee, a standard handgun carry permit is valid for 8 years before it needs to be renewed. During this 8-year period, permit holders are required to comply with all relevant state laws and regulations regarding the carrying and use of firearms. It is important for permit holders to renew their permits before they expire to ensure they can continue to legally carry a handgun in Tennessee. Option A (4 years), option B (5 years), and option D (10 years) are incorrect because they do not reflect the specific validity period for a standard Tennessee handgun carry permit, which is 8 years.
