Tennessee Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam 2025 – All-in-One Guide for Mastering Your Exam Success!

The Tennessee handgun carry permit is valid for 8 years before it needs to be renewed. This is because 4 years may be too short for someone to constantly renew their permit, 5 years could be an estimate but not the accurate length of time for renewal, and 10 years may be too long for someone to go without renewing their permit and keeping their information up to date. Therefore, 8 years is the most practical and efficient amount of time for the permit to remain valid before requiring renewal.
