Gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson Brands is moving its headquarters to Blount County, and bringing $125 million and 750 jobs with it to East Tennessee.

Smith & Wesson will become Blount County's eighth-largest employer.

Recruiting one of the world's largest gun manufacturers is a regional and statewide economic win. Tennessee is home to 20 small arms and ammunition manufacturers and Smith & Wesson's arrival will make Tennessee No. 1 for employment in the industry, according to the Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development.
