Can a non-resident apply for a Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit?

Yes, if they work in Tennessee
Yes, but only if they are military personnel stationed in Tennessee
No
Yes, but they need to have a permit from their home state first

The correct answer is: Yes, but only if they are military personnel stationed in Tennessee

The correct answer to whether a non-resident can apply for a Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit is that they can only do so if they are military personnel stationed in Tennessee. Tennessee law allows military members who are stationed in the state, regardless of their home of record, to apply for the carry permit, recognizing their unique status and need for personal protection while serving. Other considerations include the requirement for a non-resident to possess a valid handgun carry permit from their home state, which is not automatically granted and applies primarily to those who are not active military. Non-residents who do not fall under military personnel do not have the same access to applying for a Tennessee permit unless they meet specific criteria that involve their residency status or other laws governing firearm carry permits.
