Under Tennessee law, what is the consequence for carrying a handgun without a permit?

  1. A warning for the first offense

  2. A fine

  3. Imprisonment

  4. Both a fine and imprisonment

The correct answer is: Both a fine and imprisonment

Carrying a handgun without a permit in Tennessee is considered a Class A misdemeanor, which can result in both a fine and imprisonment. Option A is incorrect because a warning is not typically given for this offense. Option B is incorrect because only a fine would not be considered a sufficient consequence for breaking the law. Option C is incorrect because while imprisonment is a possible consequence, it is not the only consequence. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as it takes into account both the fine and imprisonment that could occur.
