In Tennessee, which of the following individuals is prohibited from possessing a firearm?

A person with a felony conviction
A person who has been discharged from the military for misconduct
A person with a hunting license
A person under the age of 16

The correct answer is: A person with a felony conviction

In Tennessee, individuals who have been convicted of a felony are not permitted to possess a firearm. This is due to the fact that a felony conviction can indicate a history of serious criminal activity, making it unsafe for that individual to possess a firearm. Option B is not the correct answer because although being discharged from the military for misconduct may raise concerns about an individual's character, it is not explicitly stated as a reason for being prohibited from possessing a firearm in Tennessee. Option C is incorrect because having a hunting license does not signify any criminal activity or history that would warrant a prohibition from possessing a firearm. Option D is incorrect because the legal age to possess a firearm in Tennessee is 18, not 16.
