In Tennessee, who is responsible for enforcing the laws concerning carrying firearms in public?

Local Police Departments
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation
Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency
Department of Homeland Security

The correct answer is: Local Police Departments

Local Police Departments are responsible for enforcing the laws concerning carrying firearms in public in the state of Tennessee. While the other options may have some jurisdiction over certain aspects of firearm laws, it is ultimately the responsibility of the local police departments to enforce these laws in public settings. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation primarily focuses on criminal investigations and background checks for purchasing firearms. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency oversees hunting and wildlife regulations, but does not have authority over carrying firearms in public. The Department of Homeland Security primarily deals with national security and immigration, and does not have jurisdiction over firearm laws in the state of Tennessee. Therefore, A is the correct answer in this scenario.
