Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in Tennessee?

Yes, a Handgun Carry Permit is required
Yes, a special purchase permit is needed
No, but a background check is required
No, there are no requirements

The correct answer is: No, but a background check is required

In Tennessee, individuals purchasing a handgun are subject to a background check. This check is conducted by state and federal officials to ensure that the buyer is not prohibited from owning a firearm. Therefore, options A and B are incorrect as they mention a specific type of permit, while a background check is the requirement. Option D is also incorrect, as it implies that there are no requirements for purchasing a handgun in Tennessee.
