In Tennessee, a person with a felony conviction, such as robbery, is generally prohibited from possessing firearms. However, being in the same car as a handgun carry permit holder does not automatically constitute illegal possession. The key factor is whether the felon has control over the firearm. If the firearm is under the control of the permit holder and the felon does not have access to it, they may legally remain in the vehicle together. However, this situation can be complex, and it's advisable to consult legal counsel for specific guidance.
