Must carry Concealed at all times
With the Tennessee Online Concealed Carry Permit, you must keep your handgun concealed at all times. It's very important to wear appropriate clothing OR practice good awareness of firearm placement. Waypoint Defensive teaches students how to carefully conceal a handgun while also recommending quality holsters that help! It's very easy to wear a handgun under a shirt or tucked away out of sight.
The fee for the permit will be $65 at the DMV once you pass the Waypoint Defensive Course
Once you complete the Tennessee approved Online Concealed Carry Course, simply print off the certificate and visit the DMV. The DMV will charge $65 for the Concealed Carry Permit application and for the background check. This is much less than the fee typically associated with a handgun carry permit and one reason why so many pic the Online Concealed Carry Course.
