Is it legal to possess a firearm in a place of worship in Tennessee?

Yes, always
No, never
Yes, if the place of worship permits it
Yes, but only during religious ceremonies

The correct answer is: Yes, if the place of worship permits it

In Tennessee, the legality of possessing a firearm in a place of worship is contingent upon the permissions set by the place of worship itself. If the organization or governing body of the place of worship allows firearms on the premises, individuals may legally possess them. This reflects the balance between individual rights and the authority of private property owners to establish their own rules regarding firearms on their properties. Other answers present different views, but they do not align with the applicable state law. For example, while it's not universally permitted at all times or in all locations, a complete ban across all places of worship is not accurate. Similarly, only allowing firearms during specific ceremonies would also not reflect the overarching principle that places of worship can determine their own policies regarding firearm possession.
