What must a person do if they are carrying a firearm and are approached by law enforcement in Tennessee?

Immediately disclose that they are carrying a firearm
Only disclose if asked by law enforcement
Keep silent about carrying a firearm
Notify law enforcement only if carrying concealed

The correct answer is: Immediately disclose that they are carrying a firearm

Carrying a firearm in Tennessee is legal with a proper permit, but if a person is carrying a firearm and is approached by law enforcement, they must immediately inform the officer, as required by Tennessee law. This is to ensure the safety of both the person carrying the firearm and the officer. Option B is incorrect because it is not enough to just disclose if asked. Option C is incorrect because it is against the law to not disclose carrying a firearm to a law enforcement officer. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that notifying law enforcement is only necessary if the firearm is concealed, when in fact it must be disclosed regardless of how it is being carried.
