Any Gunsmiths and/or Gunshop owners in or near Chattanooga Hiring ?

[plank white]

Just figured I would ask, I was a carpenter "Framing houses" from age 16 on. Then Joined the army National Gaurd for a short time and as the Home Building began to fall apart I Joined the Union and worked for a Few years "Journeyman Carpenter" But we only had work one month out of three so I had to let that go and Have been doing IT work and Hardware "Computers, Game consoles, etc." Since then but It is not a job I like and Im not getting any younger. .

 

I would like to work somewhere that I would enjoy and since I really like firearms and others who have a passion for them even though I still consider myself a novice, I would Like to find a job working for a Gunsmith and/or Gunshop owner where I could start off doing whatever needs done around the place from sweeping and cleaning to sales and anything in the middle Just for the chance to learn more. I would be happy to find either a full or part time Job in this field and I would be fine starting at the bottom of the Payscale due to my lack of knowledge.

 

I have no criminal record, I have a Valid Drivers License, I have my Tn. HCP ,I can pass any mandatory drug test or anything of that nature, Im a hard worker and fast learner If anyone is interested shoot me a PM with your info and/or any questions you may have.   Thanks

Best of luck to you. I am also seriously considering a career change. I've been a truck driver for the last 15-years; almost 10-years with my current employeer. I don't have much experience or education in any other field, so I suspect finding something else that pays worth a damn isn't going to be very easy.

Again, best of luck. Edited January 25, 2013 by TripleDigitRide

This is in no way meant as a jerk response but judging by the quality of people I see in gun shops this should not be very difficult.

 

How many shops have you walked into, introduced yourself,  and asked for a job?

 

I worked part time for a year in a shop in Knoxville and it was quite the experience.
