Are background checks required for private firearms sales in Tennessee?

1. Yes, for all sales

2. Yes, but only for handguns

3. No

4. Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: No

In Tennessee, background checks are not required for private firearms sales. Option A is incorrect because not all sales require background checks, as stated in the question. Option B is also incorrect because while background checks are required for handguns, they are not required for all private sales. Option D is not correct because gun shows are not mentioned in the question and there is no specific mention of exceptions for background checks at gun shows in Tennessee. Option C is the correct answer as it directly addresses the question and states that background checks are not required for private sales in Tennessee.
