How often must a Handgun Carry Permit be renewed in Tennessee?

  1. Every 4 years

  2. Every 5 years

  3. Every 8 years

  4. Every 10 years

The correct answer is: Every 8 years

In Tennessee, a Handgun Carry Permit must be renewed every 8 years. This renewal period provides permit holders a substantial amount of time before needing to submit for renewal again, balancing the need for safety and regulation with personal freedom. Holding a permit for an extended period allows individuals to maintain their legal right to carry a handgun while also encouraging a system of accountability through periodic renewal. Other options reflect different renewal timelines that do not align with the specific state regulation regarding handgun carry permits.
