Tennessee Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Is a permit required to purchase a long gun in Tennessee?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only for assault rifles

4. Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No

In Tennessee, a permit is not required for the purchase of a long gun. This includes shotguns, rifles, and semi-automatic weapons. Option A is incorrect because it states that a permit is required, which is not the case for long guns in Tennessee. Option C is incorrect because although assault rifles are regulated under the National Firearms Act, Tennessee does not have any additional permit requirements specifically for assault rifles. Option D is incorrect because being a non-resident does not exempt an individual from obtaining a permit to purchase a long gun in Tennessee. Therefore, the correct answer is B No.
