If you buy a gun at a gun shop or from any other licenced dealer, yes, you are required to pass a background check unless you are also a licensed dealer. This holds true in every state. However, in TN, a background check is not required on a person to person non-dealer sale, but you must have reasonble belief that the buyer can legally own the gun.
