What type of firearm safety course is required to apply for a handgun carry permit in Tennessee?

  1. A course offered by the National Rifle Association

  2. Any state-approved firearms safety course

  3. A course specifically designed and approved by the Tennessee Department of Safety

  4. A military firearms training course

The correct answer is: Any state-approved firearms safety course

To obtain a handgun carry permit in Tennessee, applicants are required to complete a state-approved firearms safety course. While option A may be a valid course, it is not the only one accepted by the state. Option C may seem like the most obvious choice, since it is specifically designed and approved by the Tennessee Department of Safety, but it is not the only option. Option D may also seem like a valid choice, as military training typically includes firearms training, but it is not specified as an accepted course by the state. Thus, the most accurate and inclusive answer is option B.
