Handgun purchase

[Guest Handsup]

I've been living in Tennessee for almost a year. I am looking to purchase a handgun but I still have my Illinois ID and Foid card what do I need to do to purchase firearm in Tennessee without getting tennessee id??

After a year you should have a TN DL, that is all that is needed and be 21 years old.

And not be a felon.

You can’t. You need a Tennessee ID. FOID is only for Illinois residents in Illinois.

You were suppose to obtain new ID and register vehicles within 30 days of moving to Tennessee. Here's some info: http://www.dmv.org/tn-tennessee/new-to-tennessee.php

TN DL information's correct. If your not driving a MV while here in TN then lack of a TN DL is an inconvenience, if your driving one here its going to cost you some court time and money. Active duty military and students living in college dorms are the exceptions to the 30 day residency statutes.

Without a TN ID you can't legally purchase a firearm.....

If there is a threat first word hands up

In other words, we don't have stupid laws like Illinois' FOID. You show up with a valid TN ID, fill out the ATF Form 4473, pay the man behind the counter, and walk out with your gun(s) after a few minutes of waiting on the instant background check to process.

Handsup,

As a fellow IL transplant to TN (although it's been 15 years now) I say welcome to the state! The bs of the "Chicago dictates all" is now gone my friend. So get yourself a valid TN DL and start realizing what you've been missing. If you are legally able to own a firearm, TN is like Christmas 365 days a year compared to Illi"noise"!!

Handsup,

 

I am also a transplant but I have been here since I was 13. This is a great state to live in as far as your rights are concerned. Nothing out of the ordinary here. My family members that still live in Illinois are still in disbelief on how easy we have it here.
