Nashville gun shop recommendation

[Garth Gustafson]

Guys- I'm going to Nashville next week and might have some time for a quick side trip. Any recommendations on a fine gun shop that is worth visiting? I wanted to check out Game Fair but it looks like they have closed. Thanks for a great forum.

Gamefair ran afoul of the BATF. I've only heard one side of the story, so I can't claim to know what actually happened

Yep,The ATF pulled my FFL over 22 clerical errors.Stood in my store and said "I know you don't sell crime guns,I don't care".While you are in Nashville,run down I65 to Franklin Gun Shop.They are a full line shop,but usually have a few good double on the rack.John

That stinks. My cousin Howard used you all, I think, and had good things to say

John: You have my sympathy. A lot of good honest dealers have run afoul of the BATF who don't seem to be able to catch the real illegal gun runners so they seem to concentrate of the honest dealers & cover them up with paperwork. I had my FFL when it cost $1.00 per year to renew and gave it up when the paperwork and record keeping got to be too much of a hassle.

Regrets John. I stopped by on my last trip, and found the landscape had changed at your previous location. I did stop at Franklin guns too, and they were not too stocked up with s x s inventory. Hope you are doing well.
