Smith & Wesson has taken its headquarters out of Massachusetts and is officially residing in Tennessee.
Smith & Wesson was established in 1852 in Connecticut before it soon moved its headquarters to Springfield, Massachusetts.
The NRA has praised the major gun manufacturer’s move, saying, “Congratulations to Smith & Wesson on their grand opening in Tennessee.” (Trending: 20th Busload of Illegals Arrives In Democrat City)

“This move is a testament to their enduring legacy, their commitment to firearm excellence, and to the importance of preserving America’s gun industry and Second Amendment rights in a fair environment.”
“Representing millions of NRA members and gun owners, the NRA was proud to be the tip of the spear for the passage and enactment of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act that saved America’s firearm industry,” Executive Director of Advancement Tyler Schropp added.
Now, the firearm manufacturer calls Maryville, Tennessee, home after holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday at its new 650,000-square feet headquarters.
“From where I stand, the next 170 years of Smith & Wesson are looking pretty good,” exclaimed Smith & Wesson President and CEO Mark Smith.
“It is something special here in Tennessee.” (Trending: Democrats Prioritize Illegals Over U.S. Military Veterans)
Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn was in attendance at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, saying, “In Tennessee, we know that the Second Amendment is non-negotiable and are pleased to officially welcome Smith & Wesson to Maryville. Their significant investment in our state is a testament to our pro-business policies, and we look forward to their continued partnership to bolster our economic development and exceptionally skilled workforce.”
The grand-opening even featured competitive shooter Jerry Miculek shattering records, hitting 6 targets with a Smith & Wesson 9mm revolver in just 1.88 seconds.
“Additionally, a special salute to Jerry Miculek, an NRA World Champion shooter, for his remarkable feat of shattering the NRA World Record with six shots in just 1.88 seconds from 7 yards out during the grand opening event. The NRA stands proudly with exceptional marksmen like Jerry as he forges ahead in his unparalleled journey,” Schropp said.
