What is the penalty for carrying a firearm onto school property in Tennessee?

A fine
Community service
Felony charge
Misdemeanor charge

The correct answer is: Felony charge

In Tennessee, carrying a firearm onto school property is considered a serious offense and is classified as a felony charge. This means that if someone is caught with a firearm on school grounds, they can face severe consequences including imprisonment, probation, and a permanent criminal record. Options A and B, a fine and community service, are typically considered less severe penalties and would not accurately reflect the seriousness of this crime. Option D, a misdemeanor charge, is also incorrect as carrying a firearm on school property is not considered a lesser offense in Tennessee.
