What do I need to purchase a gun in your store?
For a handgun, you must be a Tennessee resident over 21 with a valid photo ID and no criminal history. For a long gun, you must be over 18 with a valid photo id and no criminal history.
How do I get a gun registered in my name?
There is no gun registration in TN, and there never has been. We will do an instant background check that takes an average of 10 minutes to process. We have no waiting periods in TN for any firearm purchase. As long as you have no felony criminal history, warrants, or history of domestic abuse, you should leave with your new gun the same day.
How can I legally carry my pistol in public?
TN law concerns the word “loaded”. If your gun is unloaded, with the ammunition stored away from the gun, you may transport it in your vehicle with no concern. However, to carry a loaded handgun outside your home you must have a TN Handgun Carry Permit. For details, please click here http://www.state.tn.us/safety/handgunmain.htm.
