Under Tennessee law, where is it illegal to carry a firearm, even with a permit?

  1. Schools

  2. Public parks

  3. Banks

  4. Bars serving alcohol

The correct answer is: Schools

In Tennessee, carrying a firearm is prohibited in schools, which includes both public and private educational institutions. This law is specifically designed to enhance safety in environments where children and students are present. The rationale behind this regulation is to maintain a secure atmosphere conducive to learning, free from the potential dangers associated with firearms. While certain locations such as public parks, banks, and bars serving alcohol may have restrictions or additional regulations surrounding the carrying of firearms, they do not have the same blanket prohibition as schools do under state law. It's important to remember that while permits may grant a degree of freedom regarding where firearms can be carried, specific locations like schools are universally restricted to ensure the safety of students and staff.
