How long is the waiting period after purchasing a handgun before you can take possession of it in Tennessee?

  1. 48 hours

  2. There is no waiting period

  3. 72 hours

  4. 7 days

The correct answer is: There is no waiting period

In Tennessee, there is no waiting period after purchasing a handgun before you can take possession of it. This means that once the transaction is completed, you are able to take the handgun home with you. Option A, 48 hours, and Option C, 72 hours, are both incorrect as there is no set waiting period in Tennessee. Option D, 7 days, is also incorrect as there is no waiting period in Tennessee. It is important to note that some states may have waiting periods in place, but in this case, Tennessee does not. It is always important to research and understand the specific laws and regulations in your state when it comes to purchasing and owning a handgun.
