Which one of the following is NOT a requirement to qualify for a handgun carry permit in Tennessee?

  1. U.S. citizenship

  2. Tennessee residency

  3. Completion of a hunter education course

  4. Passing a criminal background check

The correct answer is: Completion of a hunter education course

In order to qualify for a handgun carry permit in Tennessee, one must be a U.S. citizen, a resident of Tennessee, and pass a criminal background check. Completing a hunter education course is not a requirement, as it is solely for those who wish to obtain a hunting license. It may be beneficial to have knowledge of gun safety and handling, but it is not a prerequisite for obtaining a handgun carry permit. Therefore, choice C is not a requirement for qualifying for a handgun carry permit in Tennessee.
