What must you do if you change your address after obtaining a Tennessee handgun carry permit?

Nothing, the permit is still valid.
Notify the Tennessee Department of Safety within 30 days.
Reapply for a new handgun carry permit.
Notify your local police department within 60 days.

The correct answer is: Notify the Tennessee Department of Safety within 30 days.

The correct course of action after changing your address while holding a Tennessee handgun carry permit is to notify the Tennessee Department of Safety within 30 days. This requirement ensures that your personal information is up to date in the state’s records. Keeping your address current is important for several reasons, including the ability of law enforcement and regulatory agencies to contact you if necessary and ensuring that you receive any pertinent communication regarding your permit. The notion that a permit remains valid without any updates might seem convenient, but it overlooks the importance of maintaining accurate records for public safety and legal compliance. Similarly, reapplying for a new permit or notifying a local police department do not satisfy the legal requirement set forth by state law for updating your address with the Department of Safety.
