Lock and Load: Ace the Tennessee Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Test 2026!

The correct answer is that non-residents can apply for a Tennessee handgun carry permit but only if they work in Tennessee. This provision recognizes non-residents who have jobs in the state, allowing them to seek a permit to carry a handgun for their professional activities or personal safety.

While other answers might suggest various restrictions or eligibility criteria, this specific provision takes into account the responsibilities and needs of those who are working in Tennessee, ensuring that they can be legally armed while conducting their business within state lines. Options that suggest military personnel or a permit from a home state do not encompass the full scope of who can apply, and stating that non-residents cannot apply at all disregards the state's acknowledgment of their situation as workers.
