A lot of the touristy areas are cucked to all hell there, because they want to virtue signal to all of the CA and NYCers who are there visiting to escape their own lockdowns. Then all the gun shops too have people from those places trying to buy guns, and being disappointed that the stores won't work with them, even for what could be a legal transfer of like a low-cap pump gun. Pigeon Forge and Sevierville are all sorts of fucked right now, and not even mostly their own fault.
