Truck runs through Greenbrier gun shop

GREENBRIER, Tenn. (WKRN) — A family-owned gun shop in Greenbrier is closed after a truck reportedly ran through the front entrance. 

Guns and Leather posted on social media to share the break-in at their location at 2216 Highway 41 South. A photo posted showed the front entrance and at least one of the firearms cases shattered.

A couple years after we moved here, that happened to our (then) only gun shop in town, down on the town square. What's funny is the  gun shop is within sight (and hearing) of the police department, maybe a hundred yards away, yet the thieves still managed to get away with something like 14 handguns.
It turned out to be a crew from Franklin, down near Nashville.

  2. Bad people are mobile, too.

    There are no safe places.

    Prepare accordingly.

  3. One of the local gun shops here has some big concrete barriers (and hopefully steel reinforced too) right in front of their main doors.

  4. Funny, back in the 60's, my dad had a Greenbrier van. Basically, a Corvair with a van body. All seven of us went everywhere in that thing!

  5. I graduated from Greenbrier, still live within 10 miles, & I've bought several weapons & parts from Guns & Leather. They've got a good gunsmith, too.
    They've had occasional bad luck. About 12 or 15 years ago they had a hell of a fire.
