• Effective July 1, 2005, Tennessee handgun carry permit law will now allow certain applicants already exempt from complying with firing range provisions of the current statute to also be exempt from any classroom requirements. Those current exceptions are applicants who prove to the department that within five (5) years from the date of application for handgun permit, the applicant has:
  
  1. Been certified by the police officer's standards and training commission, or
     
  2. successfully completed training at the law enforcement training academy; or
     
  3. successfully completed the firearms training course required for armed security guards; or
     
  4. successfully completed all handgun training of not less than four (4) hours as required by any branch of the military.
     

I see that as saying you can skip the class but must pay the permit fee?

Yep sounds like you can skip the class but still have to pay the $115.

I had to pay the $115 fee. I had an active armed guard license at the time I applied for my carry permit.
