Is open carry of a handgun permitted in Tennessee without a permit?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only in rural areas

  4. Only if the firearm is unloaded

The correct answer is: No

Open carry of a handgun is not permitted in Tennessee without a permit, making both options A and C incorrect. This is because Tennessee is a "shall-issue" state, meaning that a permit is required for open carry of a handgun. Option D is also incorrect because even with an unloaded firearm, a permit is still required for open carry in Tennessee.
