In Tennessee, a permit is not required to carry a firearm:

In your vehicle
Openly in public
Concealed in public spaces
On private property with owner's consent

The correct answer is: On private property with owner's consent

In Tennessee, a permit is not required to carry a firearm on private property with the owner's consent. This allows individuals to possess firearms without the need for a permit as long as they are on property that they either own or have permission to be on from the property owner. Such provisions are designed to respect the rights of property owners who wish to allow firearms on their premises without imposing additional legal requirements. Carrying firearms in a vehicle does have specific regulations, especially if it is accessible or loaded. Openly carrying a firearm in public generally requires a permit unless specific conditions apply. Concealed carry in public spaces also mandates a permit. Therefore, the option regarding private property distinctly acknowledges the legal allowance for carrying without a permit under those specific circumstances.
