Yes. To be legal, it must be unloaded and inacessible. If you don't have a carry permit, the best place to store it is in the trunk, or if you don't have a trunk, as far to the rear of the car (away from anyone in the car) as you can put it. If you have a carry permit from any state in the U.S. you can carry it loaded and accessible. Tennessee recognizes permits from any state.
