Hi, I’m Abe — owner of Defiance Armory here in Hendersonville.
I opened Defiance Armory because I believe deeply in the right of every person to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their community. That right is natural. It doesn’t come from government. It’s something we’re born with — and something worth standing up for.
To exercise that right well, you need knowledge, confidence, and access to the right tools. That’s where we come in. I started this shop to make firearm ownership more accessible, more understandable, and more welcoming for everyone.
Whether you’re new to guns or have been around them your whole life, Defiance Armory is here to serve you with honesty, professionalism, and real expertise. We take the time to listen, answer questions, and make sure every customer leaves with the confidence they came in looking for.
We proudly serve:
- First-time buyers who want straight answers and a welcoming environment
- Longtime gun owners who know what they’re looking for and expect honest service
- Hunters, sport shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts who depend on their gear
- Collectors and gearheads who care about quality and craftsmanship
- Families, veterans, professionals, and neighbors who believe in personal responsibility
In other words — we’re here for you.
If you believe that firearm ownership matters… if you value the ability to protect yourself, your family, and your community… if hunting, sport shooting, or outdoor traditions are part of your life… then Defiance Armory is your shop.
When you visit the shop, you’ll find people who know this industry, respect your time, and care about doing things the right way. Whether you need a transfer, a cleaning, a recommendation, or just want to talk things through — we’re here to help.
I live here. I work here. My family is here. And I built this shop because I believe Middle Tennessee deserves a place where good people can get the products, advice, and support they need to confidently exercise their rights.
That’s what Defiance Armory is about. I hope you’ll stop in soon and say hello.
— Abe
