Which action is required by law when changing your address if you have a Tennessee handgun carry permit?

Notifying the Department of Safety within 30 days
Applying for a new permit
No action is required
Notifying local law enforcement only

The correct answer is: Notifying the Department of Safety within 30 days

The correct action required by law when changing your address with a Tennessee handgun carry permit is to notify the Department of Safety within 30 days. This requirement ensures that the state's records are updated with your current information, which is essential for maintaining the accuracy of the system that tracks handgun carry permit holders. Keeping your address current helps in situations where law enforcement may need to verify your permit. Applying for a new permit is not necessary when only your address changes; your existing permit remains valid. Saying that no action is required would not align with the law’s emphasis on maintaining accurate records for permit holders. Notifying local law enforcement alone does not fulfill the legal requirement, as their jurisdiction may not encompass the broader regulatory responsibilities held by the Department of Safety.
