In Tennessee, what is the age requirement for obtaining a handgun carry permit?

18 years old
21 years old
25 years old
30 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The age requirement for obtaining a handgun carry permit in Tennessee is 21 years old. This is because state law mandates that applicants must be at least 21 years old to carry a handgun in public. Option A is incorrect because 18 years old is the minimum age to possess a handgun in Tennessee, but a carry permit is required for carrying in public. Option C and D are incorrect as the age requirement for a handgun carry permit in Tennessee is not above 21 years old.
