The correct answer is: All of the above

In Tennessee, individuals who have been convicted of stalking, dishonorably discharged from the military, or are under indictment for a felony are all prohibited from possessing firearms. This is to prevent dangerous individuals who have a history of violent behavior or a serious criminal charge from potentially causing harm with a firearm. It is important to note that under Tennessee law, individuals who are subject to a protective/restraining order or have been convicted of domestic violence are also prohibited from possessing firearms, in addition to the choices listed in the question.
