Tennessee Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

In Tennessee, where is it illegal to carry a firearm, even with a carry permit?

1. Public parks

2. Restaurants serving alcohol

3. School properties

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: School properties

In Tennessee, it is indeed illegal to carry a firearm on school properties. This restriction applies to both public and private schools, as well as their grounds, and is in place to ensure the safety of students and staff. State law clearly prohibits the possession of firearms on these properties, regardless of whether the person holds a carry permit. While there may be regulations regarding carrying firearms in public parks or restaurants serving alcohol, exceptions exist in certain circumstances, and these locations do not have the same absolute restrictions found on school properties. Thus, understanding the distinction between various locations where firearm carry is regulated is crucial for compliance with the law.
