| We will be in Nashville next week and I would like to visit one or two of the most badass gun and gear spots. Have no problem driving anywhere around Nashville. What y'all got????? |
when i was just a baby, my momma told me "son, always be a good boy dont ever play with guns"....

Call ahead to confirm they are open. We've got storm damage and line crews still getting power restored here and there. |

Earthbag house - like an earthsheltered house, but cheaper and easier to DIY.

I'm 70 miles southeast of there and I can't think of anything worth the drive. But since you're going to be in the area: Outpost Armory in Murfreesboro. Royal Range in West Nashville Guns and Leather in Greenbrier and north Nashville Nashville Armory down close to Sidco Dr. The Gun Crew in Hermitage or Madison whatever that area is. Sportsman's Warehouse in Murfreesboro Glockstore Help me out fellas... And like JPN said call ahead to make sure both your accommodations and whatever you want to see is open. Even places that have electric back are repairing broken water lines and water damage. |
I think one of the major problems with America today is not enough families sit down to a big plate of squirrels momma just fried up.

Main reason I don't go there more often, is the temptation to rent something to shoot on their range. I'm probably not more than about six or seven miles from there, so once I start down the road of following that temptation, it could get expensive fairly quickly. ETA: If somebody is visiting the area and never had the opportunity to see a Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, we've got one at Opry Mills. |

It's a favorite place for the local burglary aficionados to break into vehicles to steal guns and high end merchandise. Go early and get out before dark. Don't leave anything you'd miss in the vehicle |

Go early and get out before dark. Don't leave anything you'd miss in the vehicle There's also the occasional (once every few years?) shooting in the mall or in the parking lot. Didn't seem to be anywhere near as many problems at Opry Mills Mall, before MNPD chased the gang members out of Hickory Hollow Mall, a while before Hickory Hollow Mall closed. Would have been better if Gaylord had kept the park open and they built the Bass Pro Shops as a standalone store on the other side of Briley Parkway, as they originally planned, but that gets into a whole other debate on the idiocy that has taken place in Nashville over the years. |

As already stated: Royal Range Outpost Armory (M'boro) Glock Store Bass Pro (sort of) The gun section at bass pro is very lackluster but it's a cool visit if you're into fishing and stuff. While you're there visit the opryland hotel. The first three all have ranges and rent guns. You can rent a Barrett 50 BMG at royal range and shoot at 50 yards indoors. I suggest double ear pro. |
