What is required to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer in Tennessee?

  1. Background check

  2. Handgun safety course completion

  3. Tennessee residency for 6 months

  4. No requirements

The correct answer is: Background check

In order to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer in Tennessee, a background check is required. This is to ensure that the individual does not have any disqualifying factors that would prohibit them from owning a firearm, such as a criminal record or history of mental illness. Option B, completing a handgun safety course, is not required for purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer, although it may be required for a concealed carry permit. Option C, Tennessee residency for 6 months, is also not a requirement for purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer. Option D, no requirements, is incorrect as a background check is mandatory for all firearm purchases from licensed dealers in Tennessee.
