Legal in TN.  Must process for your ATF tax stamp, but legal to own there.  <thumbsup>

You must have CLEO sign-off on your ATF forms, but the coolest thing about Tennessee is that there is a State Law that requires CLEOs to sign off, provided you're a legal person:

39-17-1361. Execution of documents by sheriff or chief of police. —

The sheriff or chief of police of the city of residence of a person purchasing any firearm, defined by the National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. § 5845 et seq., shall execute within fifteen (15) business days of any request all documents required to be submitted by the purchaser if the purchaser is not prohibited from possessing firearms pursuant to § 39-17-1316.

That's badass.  <thumbsup>
