No. In fact, MOST US states do not require a permit to own or purchase a handgun.
My guess would be all of them, but you never know about some of those Southern states
First, could you tell us what you mean by a "permit for a gun"? MOST states do not require a permit to own a firearm. 48 states require a permit to carry a concealed handgun. Two, Vermont and Alaska, do not require a permit to carry concealed.
It depends on what you mean. In some states, you can carry a handgun openly without a permit. In most states, you have to have a permit to carry a handgun at all, or to carry it concealed. Two states and the District of Columbia don't issue handgun permits. The states that do issue permits have restrictions, a few places within the states that is off-limits, even if you have a permit, such as schools, courthouses, etc.
Yes. All of those states recognize Tennessee handgun permits.
That depends on your states laws. Some states allow it; some states require all handgun purchases to be made through an FFL dealer.
No- but you need to define the term "gun permit". MOST states do not require a permit to own or purchase a gun. SOME treat handguns differently from rifles and shotguns. MOST states (not all) DO require a permit to carry a handgun concealed. The laws vary greatly from state to state. If you run a Google search for "{your state} gun laws", you should find a link to a summary of the laws for your state. In a VERY few cases, some cities may have their own regulations on firearms.
It depends on the state, and on what you mean. If you mean a license to carry a handgun, most, but not all states require you to be at least 21.
Generally speaking, yes. Some companies have policies against carrying a handgun on company property, including company owned vehicles, but as far as actually against the law, it is legal, as far as I know, in all states, *IF* you can legally carry a gun in public (some states require a permit), and the state of Illinois currently doesn't allow carry of a handgun in public at all.
It depends on what you mean, but also, what state you are in. I've never heard of a personal protection permit. A CCW permit is a permit to carry a handgun on your person for personal protection, however, it should be noted that all states in the U.S. don't issue CCW. Some states, such as Tennessee, issue "handgun carry permits" and concealment is not required by law.
It all depends on where you live. Some Counties, States, and countries require a permit. Several states do not.
Your question is too vague to really answer. Long guns (Rifles or Shotguns) are handled differently by almost all states than handguns. Almost all states allow you to own a long gun without any kind of permit. Many states allow you to own a handgun without a permit. Most states, that allow you to carry outside the home, require a permit to carry. Notice the difference. The ability to carry outside the home is more regulated than just owning a handgun. Like I said, you haven't provided enough info for a definitive answer, but if you go here, you should be able to find what you want: http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws/ Don
I have not researched the CCW laws of all 50 states, but of the ones that I AM familiar with, all require you to carry a particularly identified weapon. If you live in a state that requires you to 'register' your handgun then I would imagine that THAT is the weapon you are limited to carrying. To add to the previous answer, it depends on the state. In some states, once you get the permit, you can carry any handgun you legally possess. Tennessee and Florida are two that come to mind. I also believe Utah is the same. However, some states require you to carry only a certain type, IE: If you qualified with a revolver, you can only carry a revolver, and some states require you to carry only the actual gun you qualified with.
18 years of age to own any rifle, shotgun or handgun. However, you must be 21 to purchase handguns or handgun ammunition from any dealers. That being said, your handgun would have to be purchased from a private party, face-to-face.
