Can a non-resident of Tennessee apply for a Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit?

Yes, if they work in Tennessee
No, only residents can apply
Yes, if they own property in Tennessee
Yes, but only military personnel

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

In Tennessee, the law does allow non-residents to apply for a Handgun Carry Permit under specific conditions, including certain employment situations. If a non-resident works in Tennessee, they may be eligible to apply for the permit, as the application process accommodates those who have a significant connection to the state through their job. The other choices suggest limitations or requirements that do not align with the current regulations regarding non-resident applications. While military personnel may have unique considerations when it comes to permits, simply working in Tennessee is sufficient for non-residents to initiate the permit application process. Ownership of property in Tennessee or being a resident of the state are not mandatory conditions for applying if one is employed there.
