Tennessee Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Does Tennessee have a 'red flag' law that allows courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals believed to be a risk to themselves or others?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only for individuals under 21

4. It is under consideration, but not yet law

The correct answer is: No

Tennessee currently does not have a 'red flag' law in place. A 'red flag' law, also known as an extreme risk protection order, allows courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals who are believed to be a risk to themselves or others. Option A is incorrect because it states that Tennessee does have a 'red flag' law, which is not true. Option C is incorrect because it states that the law is only applicable to individuals under 21, which is not true for all 'red flag' laws. Option D is incorrect because it states that the law is still under consideration, but in reality, Tennessee does not currently have a 'red flag' law.
