Are there any locations where it is illegal to carry a firearm in Tennessee, even with a carry permit?

  1. No, carry is allowed everywhere with a permit

  2. Yes, including schools, courthouses, and certain government buildings

  3. Only in places that serve alcohol

  4. Only private businesses that explicitly ban firearms

The correct answer is: Yes, including schools, courthouses, and certain government buildings

The correct response highlights that there are specific locations in Tennessee where carrying a firearm is prohibited, even for individuals with a carry permit. This includes sensitive areas such as schools, courthouses, and certain government buildings, which are designated as gun-free zones to enhance safety in locations frequented by the public, especially vulnerable populations like children or individuals accessing judicial services. Understanding these regulations is crucial for responsible firearm handling and ensuring compliance with state laws. The other options suggest either broad permissions or limited restrictions that do not capture the full scope of where firearms may be prohibited under Tennessee law. Recognizing the limitations on carry permits helps users navigate their rights and responsibilities effectively while acknowledging that certain locations carry specific legal restrictions.
