All of our Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit classes will qualify students to apply for their Tennessee Concealed Handgun Carry Permit. Tennessee offers both the Enhanced Concealed Handgun Carry Permit and the Concealed Handgun Carry Permit (CHCP). The 8-year Concealed Handgun Carry Permit (CHCP) state application fee is $65.00, while the 8-year Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit state application fee is $100.00.

Classes are taught by experienced and knowledgeable USCCA/NRA instructors. In the class, we will strive to ensure that each student leaves feeling comfortable with their knowledge of Tennessee handgun carry laws and self-defense laws. Our goal is not to just help you check off the class needed to get your permit; we want you to leave with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to safely and responsibly carry.

We will discuss self-defense scenarios and go through point by point what to do and what not to do in a defensive encounter. We will also review Tennessee laws regarding prohibited locations, interactions with law enforcement, and the responsibilities that come with carrying a handgun.

Finally, we will ensure everyone leaves with the required certificate of completion and guidance on the Tennessee application process. The permit application fee is paid directly to the State of Tennessee and is separate from the class fee.
 

 

What should you expect?

 

Practical Training

In your class, you will learn proper firearm handling skills, weapon safety, and firearms laws. As part of all of our classes, we focus on day-to-day situations such as firearms storage, safety around children, and concealed carry.
 

Knowledgeable Instructors

All of our instructors are certified by the USCCA/NRA. Each instructor is well versed in self-defense, both inside and outside the home. The knowledge they impart will give you the foundation to feel comfortable carrying your firearm to the places you go.
 

Everyday Safety

Safety both in the class and out is a top priority for all of our instructors. To ensure your safety, no live ammunition is permitted in the classroom. We are dedicated to making firearms ownership safe and enjoyable.

Why Tennessee's Permit?

Tennessee allows permitless carry for those who meet the legal requirements, but that right generally stops at the state line. A Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit can help you legally carry in 37 reciprocating states that honor Tennessee permits. This class helps satisfy the training requirement to apply for your Tennessee permit, and after completing it, you can submit your application through the State of Tennessee. Tennessee is a “shall issue” state, meaning qualified applicants who complete the requirements and pass the background check will be issued a permit. The 8-year Concealed Handgun Carry Permit (CHCP) state fee is $65.00, and the 8-year Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit state fee is $100.00.

Common Questions

 

Do I still need a permit if Tennessee allows permitless carry?

A permit is not required for many eligible people to carry in Tennessee, but a Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit may allow you to carry in 37 reciprocating states and can provide additional benefits when traveling.
 

What is the difference between the Concealed Handgun Carry Permit and the Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit?

The 8-year Concealed Handgun Carry Permit (CHCP) has a state fee of $65.00 and is for concealed carry only.
