To lawfully carry a concealed handgun in Tennessee, one must:

  1. Only carry in places where alcohol is not served

  2. Notify law enforcement when stopped

  3. Have a valid handgun carry permit

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Have a valid handgun carry permit

In Tennessee, to lawfully carry a concealed handgun, an individual must possess a valid handgun carry permit. This is a legal requirement established under Tennessee law, which mandates that individuals complete a training course and pass a background check to obtain this permit. Without this permit, carrying a concealed handgun is considered illegal. While notifying law enforcement when stopped by an officer is advisable for responsible gun owners and is a good practice, it is not a legal requirement in Tennessee. Similarly, carrying a handgun in establishments selling alcohol has specific regulations, but they do not prohibit carrying entirely in such places unless otherwise posted. The key point is that having a valid handgun carry permit is the foundational requirement for lawful concealed carry in the state.
