Tennessee law to take effect January 1st giving the option to obtain conceal carry permit online
A new Tennessee law is set to take effect will allow citizens to take an online course as a choice in obtaining a conceal carry permit.
This new permit requires a minimum 90 minutes of training that can be completed through fire safety training courses online, and does not require firing a gun. This permit differs from the current permit law, soon to be upgraded to the enhanced handgun carry permit, that does require the traditional eight hour safety training course and firing a weapon. The law change was made during the 2019 General Assembly and will take effect January 1st, 2020.
Below is more information about the differences in the two permits, including training requirements and costs.
