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

  1. Handgun Carry Permit

  2. Background check and valid ID

  3. Tennessee State ID only

  4. No requirements

The correct answer is: Background check and valid ID

In order to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Tennessee, a background check and valid ID are required. This is because Tennessee law requires that all firearms purchasers undergo a background check before completing the sale. A Handgun Carry Permit, while not required for a purchase, can expedite the background check process. A Tennessee State ID alone is not sufficient as it does not provide information about a person's criminal history. Option D, stating that no requirements are needed, is incorrect as a background check and valid ID are mandatory.
