What does Tennessee law require from individuals selling a firearm privately?

Performing a background check
Registering the sale with the state
Ensuring the buyer is of legal age to purchase
Nothing; there are no specific requirements

The correct answer is: Ensuring the buyer is of legal age to purchase

Tennessee law requires individuals selling a firearm privately to ensure that the buyer is of legal age to purchase. This means the seller must confirm that the buyer is at least 18 years of age for long guns and at least 21 years of age for handguns. Option A is incorrect because background checks are not required for private firearm sales in Tennessee. Option B is incorrect because there is no requirement to register the sale with the state. Option D is incorrect because there are specific requirements for private firearm sales, including ensuring the buyer's legal age as stated in option C.
