**The process for issuance of a Tennessee Handgun Permit requires that the permit be issued within 90 days of receipt of the application at the Tennessee Department of Safety Handgun Permit Office in Nashville.  If no red flags appear during the ninety day period, the permit 'shall' be issued.

Because of the time required fto conduct a full criminal background fingerprint investigation by the F.B.I., some permits might be issued to indivudals who do not qualify for a handgun permit.  As a result, the handgun permit is 'revoked'.  This might cause a revoked handgun permit to look as though a person commited a crime after they received their handgun permit.  In fact, this is normally not the case.  The majority of revoked handgun permits are individuals who had prior problems before receiving their Tennessee Handgun Permit.

"This is the type of information that helps permit holders.  Thanks for doing this research.  Now, we can use this information to help our cause with anti gun groups & possibly a new un-friendly administration.  The number of permits revoked is really low compared to all the permits issued."

Ralph, Kingsport, Tennessee

"Lets hear it for the 80+ crowd.  200+ in 2006 & 200+ 2007.  Wonder if other states have the same statistics as to older people.  The state of Tennessee denied three of these older citizens.  Well, they just wanted to be legal & if they forgot something they did 60 years ago (other than murder), I think we could also forget about it.  After all, these are the people who need a permit. 
A tip of the hat to the older folks."
