It sort of depends, but if the assault charge is still on your record, you will probably be denied by the TBI if you try to buy a gun in Tennessee. If so, you can appeal it, and it may or may not be overturned.

Tennessee is one of only a couple of states that uses its own state system for gun purchases, instead of the federal system only like most other states, and they don't follow the exact federal protocol.

No, you cannot carry a concealed handgun in Michigan with a Tennessee handgun permit. Michigan requires individuals to have a Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL) to carry concealed in the state. While Michigan does recognize some out-of-state permits, Tennessee's permit is not one of them. Always check for the most current laws and regulations, as they can change.
