Can a non-resident obtain a handgun carry permit in Tennessee?

Yes, without any restrictions
Yes, if they work in Tennessee
No
Only military personnel stationed in Tennessee

The correct answer is: Yes, if they work in Tennessee

The correct response reflects that non-residents can indeed obtain a handgun carry permit in Tennessee, but this is contingent upon specific regulations, particularly that they must work in the state. Tennessee law includes provisions that allow certain non-residents, particularly those who are employed in Tennessee and can meet the permit application requirements, to apply for and receive a handgun carry permit. This approach is designed to ensure that individuals who may spend a significant amount of time in Tennessee for work purposes can carry a handgun legally, while establishing necessary criteria to uphold public safety. Other potential options, such as the outright permissions without restrictions or blanket access for all non-residents, would contradict these legal stipulations, as would a limitation to only military personnel, which does not encompass all individuals who might seek the permit due to employment in the state.
