NC resident probably moving to Nashville area

[Whisper]

I'm a western NC resident but it looks like a new job will soon be taking me to the Nashville area.  I've never lived in TN before but my parents are retired in Manchester and my mother's family is from Camden, so I've visited the state a lot over the years.  

 

Any suggestions about the Nashville area -- best gun shops, best gun shows, best concealed carry classes (I have my NC concealed carry permit but understand I must get a TN permit within six months) -- would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Whisper

Welcome from the West cousin.

Welcome.  I live in East Tennessee and am from the Nashville area.  Where are you in NC?  We love WNC and spend a lot of time there.  I would guess that you will miss it.  There is no job that could get me to move back to Nashville.  I'll skip on my commentary about the Nashville area, but if you do a search you will find a wealth of information on all of the questions that you have asked.  I lived in NC for a while and I will say that TN taxes and carry laws are much more friendly.

Thanks, folks. Just this morning I got my formal job offer, and I have accepted. I'll be starting the new job in February.

10-Ring, I understand your point about Nashville. My parents live in Manchester, and they are pretty far along in age, so I will probably look for a place to live not actually in Nashville, but somewhere south, like Rutherford County, convenient to work and close enough to Manchester that I can keep an eye on mom and dad. We'll see what works out.

Cheers,
Whisper
