Which of the following firearms is prohibited from being carried in Tennessee, even with a Handgun Carry Permit?

  1. Semi-automatic rifles

  2. Machine guns

  3. Handguns with a magazine capacity under 15 rounds

  4. Shotguns

The correct answer is: Machine guns

In Tennessee, it is illegal to carry a machine gun without a special federal license, regardless of whether or not you have a Handgun Carry Permit. This is because machine guns are considered weapons of mass destruction and are heavily regulated by federal law. The other options, such as semi-automatic rifles, handguns with a magazine capacity under 15 rounds, and shotguns are not prohibited from being carried with a Handgun Carry Permit in Tennessee.
