#1 answer yes but keep it locked up in glove compartment a safe under seat or in trunk of vehicle and store it before you reach where you are going so people don’t see you storing a weapon and break into it never leave in plain sight you do not want the weapon in a criminal hands carrying a gun is a huge responsibility Knoxville has a large number of gun theft. Per year From unsecured vehicles. That end up on the street. Don’t let it be yours # 2 yes. #3 state and federal law says you cannot sell handgun ammo to anyone under 21.at a business. But you can buy ammo from a private individual just as you can a handgun at 18 but some people still won’t want to sell if you look really young also get all the training you can in legalities and in proper form and skills. Good training classes on this form. Hope this helps
