What is required to legally purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer in Tennessee?

  1. A driver's license

  2. A background check

  3. A carry permit

  4. Proof of NRA membership

The correct answer is: A background check

To legally purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer in Tennessee, you are required to undergo a background check. This is to ensure that the buyer does not have a criminal history or any disqualifying factors that would prevent them from owning a firearm. A driver's license is not sufficient as it does not provide the necessary information for a background check. A carry permit is not required for purchasing a firearm, but it may be required for carrying a firearm. Proof of NRA membership is also not necessary for purchasing a firearm in Tennessee. Overall, a background check is the only requirement for legally purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer in the state.
