Who may not legally possess a firearm in Tennessee?

  1. Persons under indictment for a felony

  2. Persons convicted of a felony

  3. Persons dishonorably discharged from the military

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

In Tennessee, all of the mentioned categories - persons under indictment for a felony, persons convicted of a felony, and persons dishonorably discharged from the military - are prohibited from legally possessing a firearm. Persons under indictment for a felony are likely to face serious criminal charges, making it necessary to prevent them from having access to firearms to avoid potential danger. Additionally, individuals who have been convicted of a felony or been dishonorably discharged from the military have displayed behavior or actions that raise concerns about their ability to responsibly handle a firearm. As a result, Tennessee law prohibits these individuals from owning or possessing a gun to help maintain public safety and prevent potential harm.
