What is required to sell a handgun privately in Tennessee?

A background check on the buyer
Notification to local law enforcement
Recording the sale with the Tennessee Department of Safety
No specific legal requirement beyond age verification

The correct answer is: No specific legal requirement beyond age verification

When selling a handgun privately in Tennessee, the correct answer is D. No specific legal requirement beyond age verification is needed. In Tennessee, private sales of firearms between individuals who are both residents of the state do not require a background check on the buyer, notification to local law enforcement, or recording the sale with the Tennessee Department of Safety. However, it is important to note that the buyer must be at least 18 years old for long guns and 21 years old for handguns. It is always a good practice to ensure the buyer meets the legal age requirement and is legally allowed to possess a firearm.
