Can non-residents apply for a Tennessee handgun carry permit?

Yes, without restrictions
No
Yes, if they work in Tennessee
Yes, but only for military members stationed in Tennessee

The correct answer is: Yes, if they work in Tennessee

Non-residents can apply for a Tennessee handgun carry permit if they work in Tennessee. This option is correct because Tennessee allows individuals who work in the state but do not necessarily reside there to apply for a handgun carry permit. This provision accommodates individuals who may be working in Tennessee temporarily or commuting to the state for work purposes. Option A is incorrect because non-residents are not granted handgun carry permits without any restrictions in Tennessee. Option B is incorrect because, as mentioned, non-residents who work in Tennessee can apply for a handgun carry permit. Option D is incorrect because the eligibility for a handgun carry permit is not limited to military members stationed in Tennessee. Military members stationed in Tennessee may apply, but it is not the only category of non-residents eligible to apply for a permit in the state.
