In Tennessee, is a permit required to purchase a handgun?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for residents

  4. Yes, but only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No

While a permit is required to carry a handgun in Tennessee, it is not required to simply purchase one. Both residents and non-residents are able to purchase handguns without a permit. Answer choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they specify a permit is required, which is not true. It's important to carefully read and understand the question, as well as the laws and regulations in different states.
