Tennessee Gun Laws at a Glance
In Tennessee, no permit to purchase is required, there is no waiting period, registration is not required, there is no magazine limit, and there is no "assault weapon" ban.
| Permit to purchase | Not required |
|---|---|
| Waiting period | None |
| Firearm registration | Not required |
| Magazine limit | None |
| State "assault weapon" ban | None |
| Carry | Since 2021, Tennessee has permitless ("constitutional") carry: no license is required to carry a handgun, openly or concealed, for anyone 18 or older who can legally possess a firearm. A 2025 law, Public Chapter 513, lowered the age to 18 and wrote it directly into statute. Enhanced and standard Handgun Carry Permits are still available for reciprocity and for posted or park locations. |
