How often must a handgun carry permit be renewed in Tennessee?

  1. Every 4 years

  2. Every 5 years

  3. Every 8 years

  4. Every 10 years

The correct answer is: Every 8 years

In Tennessee, a handgun carry permit must be renewed every 8 years. This timeframe is established by state law, ensuring that permit holders remain compliant with current legal requirements and can maintain their knowledge about firearms safety and laws. The 8-year renewal interval allows for periodic review and refreshment of skills and understanding related to the safe handling of firearms. Other options indicate longer or shorter intervals which do not align with the current regulations for handgun carry permits in Tennessee.
