What is the legal blood alcohol content limit for individuals carrying a handgun in Tennessee?

  1. 0.00%

  2. 0.02%

  3. 0.08%

  4. 0.10%

The correct answer is: 0.00%

In Tennessee, carrying a handgun in public while under the influence of alcohol is considered a Class A misdemeanor. This means that a person carrying a handgun should have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.00%. A BAC of 0.02% or higher can result in fines, suspension of the handgun carry permit, and potential criminal charges. While 0.08% is the legal BAC limit for driving under the influence in Tennessee, this limit does not apply to those carrying a handgun. Additionally, a BAC of 0.10% is considered a higher level of intoxication and can lead to even more severe consequences. Therefore, the only safe and legal BAC limit for individuals carrying a handgun in Tennessee is 0.00%.
