Tennessee has moved to loosen gun restrictions in recent years and in March the legislature passed a law allowing adults 21 and over to carry handguns without a permit after completing a state-level background check and training.
Smith & Wesson's move, a $125 million investment, is expected to create 750 jobs in the region by 2023.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican said the investment would have an impact on the region that will last for generations.
"If you really want to change a families' life then you insert into that family meaningful work. When people have a good job and make a good living for their family, then they're generationally impacted," Lee said.
Rest assured, I will make a point to buy a new S&W made in Tennessee!
