What is the legal BAC limit for handgun carry permit holders while in possession of a firearm?

  1. 0.0%

  2. 0.02%

  3. 0.08%

  4. 0.10%

The correct answer is: 0.02%

The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for handgun carry permit holders in Tennessee while in possession of a firearm is indeed 0.08%. This aligns with the national standard for driving under the influence but is also specific to the context of carrying firearms. Tennessee law prohibits individuals from carrying a handgun if they have a BAC of 0.08% or greater. While other options may suggest lower limits, Tennessee does not impose a stricter standard than the driving limit regarding firearm possession. Therefore, the understanding of firearms and alcohol consumption must consider not just personal safety but compliance with the legal thresholds set by the state. The key point is that maintaining a BAC under 0.08% is crucial to ensure both legal compliance and safe handling of firearms.
