How long is the standard Tennessee handgun carry permit valid before renewal is required?

  1. 4 years

  2. 6 years

  3. 8 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 8 years

The standard Tennessee handgun carry permit is valid for eight years before a renewal is required. This duration is established to provide a sufficient timeframe for permit holders to responsibly carry their firearms while ensuring that periodic renewals can help maintain safety and legal compliance in firearms ownership. The renewal process typically involves a review of the holder's background and may include training or reassessment to ensure ongoing competence and understanding of firearm safety laws. Knowing this validity period is crucial for permit holders to maintain their legal status and adherence to Tennessee gun laws.
