There is a Buds Gun Shop and Smokey Mt Knife works in Sevierville, TN. There are some others as well.
I am sure there is either a Bass Pro or Cabellas in Bristol as well as the Gatlinburg area.
Whether any of them will sell a firearm to somebody from MD is another question.

I'm a Va resident, hopefully I can buy and trade long arms since Va borders both Tn and NC. I know I can't with regulated.
Good deal. Have a good trip.
Hope you like pancakes cause Gatlinburg has a ton of pancakes houses.

She'll love it, I'll settle for a couple bacon sandwiches. Been there a couple times before... like a old persons boardwalk.

^^^^^ This!
I was born in Newport, TN, and lived in Kingsport, for a bunch of years.
When my wife and two youngest kids (now 25 and approaching 30 years old!) took my parents' cremains back to Newport, to be buried, we spent several days afterwards, in Gatlinburg.
Bud's wouldn't sell me, or my son, ANYTHING, since we are Maryland residents. (Darned shame. My son was going to pay cash for a really nice .308 bolt gun.)
Smoky Mtn. Knife Works won't sell Maryland residents any firearms, but, I've bought quite a few knives from them.
The Bass Pro near the TN/VA border (Pinnacle) is sooooooo much nicer than the one here, in Hanover, MD!!!!!!!!!!!
Sidenote: While in Sevierville/Pigeon Forge, IF you're into cars, go to the Floyd Garrett Muscle Car Museum!!!!
I could spend DAYS there!!!!
The Titanic Museum (I think that's the name, if memory serves me) is also nothing short of FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

That's the answer for Destination Mega Gun Stores .
Meanwhile , in E. TN or WNC , more than half of every country strore , hardware, pawn shop , bait store,etc will have a small to mid size gun counter/ department . About half of " Pawn Shops " are essentially Gun Stores that once in a while do a pawn .

Leave tomorrow, will have time to kill before checking in. Hopefully they won't have a problem selling to Va residents. Thurs a night in Cherokee, I have a "system".

Post the shops you go to. Next month I'll be going from eastern nc to see family outside of nashville.
Looks like Buds is a must see........same place that gives Hickok 45 his toys!
I just walked out of Bass Pro Bristol TN. (The Cabelas in Bristol VA has been closed.) Nice selections on the wall. Ammo not much different from what is seen in PRM. I am visiting Mom in Blountville and plan on hitting most of the small shops in the area over the next few weeks.
Saw the same thing. Guy at SMKW asked if he could help me. I told him doubt it since I'm a MD resident. He confirmed - no sales. Didn't even go to Bud's, why be frustrated.

The Barrett factory is near Nashville. Buds was not as amazing as I thought it would be. It was still nice and they have an indoor range with full auto rentals.
Smokey Mountain Knife works is humongous and had more guns than buds.
They are all worth a trip if you have the time.

I've stopped at New River Sports where I-81 and Va Rt 100 cross, beyond Pulaski. Bought some P-mags.. Its been few yrs. Prices weren't great. Easy access tho.
Went to Bud's today. HUGE but so were the prices. Bucket of THUNDERBOLT bullets were $239.00! GTFOH, I guess if they're going to send Hickock45 guns and ammo they need to jack up their prices! Giant knife place next door but meh, a knife is a knife..... didn't bother.
NO C&R at all cept one Mosin carbine 1943, nothing special. Don't remember for sure but I "think" 600 bucks. I'm glad I bought like hell between 2017 and 2021, learned my lesson in 2009. 10/22's were 319 or 329.00. Tomorrow we go out again and explore, I have a wad of cash in my pocket but if it ain't worth it (imo) I'll blow it at Cherokee.

Doesn’t matter if the states border each other, that isn’t a requirement

I went to a pawn shop among the knife place and Buds. $1100 for a slightly used BAR in 7mm.... I didn't need that either.
HIGHLY recommend the Brazilian Steak house. Cost about $132.00 with tip for 2 and it was KILLER GOOD!
Highly do NOT recommend Captain Jim's. I doubt he was ever a captain or his name being Jim. total shit.
