QuackerSmacker That is exactly how I viewed the situation. The distention gets down to caring vs in the car. After a call to the Knox county sheriff, we were told no absolutely not. They said an 18 -21 year old may not have a handgun in the car.

Thanks for all the feedback. I have a car with a gun safe and a neodymium magnet gun mount to the right of the steering wheel. When my son wants to use my car its completely unclear what the law is. As Magiccarpetrides stated its a discretion of the officer situation and winning in court is a battle no one should have to undertake financially. I was thinking of writing the TN attorney general for clarification. Sadly even if the AG said we were within the law an officer would likely still have no insight.

Hello, I am aware that Tennessee has the castle doctrine extended to a person in legal possession of a vehicle. I am also aware a person over the age of 18 can possess a handgun but not purchase. I can not find a clear answer to: Can an 18-21 year old have loaded handgun in a vehicle they legally possess? or any references? Thanks
