Which of the following is true about carrying firearms in vehicles in Tennessee?

  1. Prohibited without a permit

  2. Allowed for handguns but not for rifles

  3. Allowed if the firearm is unloaded and stored in the trunk

  4. Allowed if the owner has a valid carry permit

The correct answer is: Allowed if the owner has a valid carry permit

Option A is incorrect because Tennessee allows individuals to have firearms in their vehicle as long as they are legally allowed to possess one. Option B is also incorrect because in Tennessee, individuals can carry both handguns and rifles in their vehicle. Option C is incorrect because individuals are allowed to have loaded firearms in the vehicle, as long as they have a valid carry permit. The only correct answer is D, as individuals can legally carry firearms in their vehicle if they have a valid carry permit. It is important to note that carrying a firearm in a vehicle without a valid carry permit is considered a criminal offense in Tennessee.
