Tennessee Weapons Charges Lawyer
In both Tennessee and Kentucky, a permit is not required to purchase a handgun, rifle or shot gun. In addition, a person does not need to obtain a license or even register their gun. The only legal requirement is that a permit must be obtained in order to carry a hand gun, but not a rifle or shotgun. Since the laws make it so easy for a person to own firearms, it makes it that much easier for weapons to fall into the hands of individuals who are seeking to commit a crime.
