How long is the standard Tennessee handgun carry permit valid before it needs renewal?

  1. 4 years

  2. 5 years

  3. 8 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 8 years

Typically, a Tennessee handgun carry permit is valid for 8 years before it needs to be renewed. This is due to the fact that Tennessee law requires a permit to be renewed every 8 years. Choices A and B are incorrect because they are too short of a time frame for the permit to be valid. Choice D is incorrect because it is too long of a time frame for the permit.
