I am 18 years old, not a felon, no police record whatsoever. I enjoy shooting and would very much like to purchase a 1911 before I move out on my own. I read that in TN I can do this. Can I?

You sure can.

You have to be 21 to buy a handgun from a federally licensed dealer. Depending on your state law, you may be able to purchase a pistol from a private individual at 18.

Yes you can buy one in the state of TN but you need to be atleast 21 with a license to carry it in public places.

You must be 21 to buy handguns in the U.S. This is a federal law. If you are only 18, you are restricted to buying rifles and shotguns.

Yes, you can legally buy a handgun in TN.
On the other hand, making offensive remarks as the one of NONONAME, it's not.
