What must individuals do to legally purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer in Tennessee?

Pass a criminal background check
Complete a firearms training course
Be a Tennessee resident for 6 months
Have a valid Tennessee driver's license

The correct answer is: Pass a criminal background check

Individuals must pass a criminal background check to legally purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer in Tennessee. This is required in order to ensure that the individual is not prohibited from owning a firearm, such as being a convicted felon or having a history of domestic violence. The other options, although they may be requirements for purchasing a firearm in other states, are not necessary in Tennessee. Completing a firearms training course and being a Tennessee resident for 6 months may be recommended for safety and familiarity with firearm laws, but they are not legal requirements. Having a valid Tennessee driver's license is also not a legal requirement for purchasing a firearm, as any government-issued ID can be used for the background check.
