Tennessee allows permitless concealed and open carry for adults 21 and older (or qualified 18-20 year olds) under T.C.A. 39-17-1307 and 1351, with optional enhanced and concealed permits available.
Tennessee law permits eligible adults to carry handguns openly or concealed without a permit pursuant to constitutional carry provisions in T.C.A. 39-17-1307. The state still issues enhanced handgun carry permits and concealed-only permits under T.C.A. 39-17-1351 for reciprocity and certain restricted areas. Permits require fingerprinting, background checks, and an approved training course. Carry remains prohibited in schools, courthouses, government buildings posted off-limits, and on private property where signage prohibits firearms.
Unlawful carry can be a Class A misdemeanor or higher felony, with fines, jail time, and permit revocation depending on location and prior history.
