Which of the following locations is a permit holder prohibited from carrying a handgun in Tennessee?

  1. Restaurants that serve alcohol

  2. Public parks

  3. Schools

  4. Private residences that permit firearms

The correct answer is: Schools

Public parks and private residences that permit firearms are both places where a permit holder is typically allowed to carry a handgun in Tennessee. Restaurants that serve alcohol may or may not allow permit holders to carry, depending on the establishment's policy. Therefore, these options are incorrect. However, schools are a prohibited location for permit holders to carry a handgun in Tennessee, as it is designated as a gun-free school zone. This is meant to ensure the safety of students and staff.
