What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a Concealed Carry Permit in Tennessee?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 19 years old

  3. 21 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Tennessee, the minimum age requirement to apply for a Concealed Carry Permit is 21 years old. This is because individuals must be at least 21 years old to legally own a handgun. Option A is incorrect because 18 years old is the minimum age to purchase a rifle or shotgun in Tennessee, but not for owning a handgun. Option B is incorrect because it is higher than the legal age to own a handgun in Tennessee. Option D is incorrect because it is higher than the minimum age required to apply for a Concealed Carry Permit.
