New Fall River gun shop opens with a bang!

Troy City Tactical, the new gun shop at 147 Borden Street in Fall River held its grand opening Saturday, with food, music and sales.

The new gun shop is easily accessible on and off the highway. It stands out in a really visible location and our customers can find us.

According to Mike Skidmore, who is the owner and operator of Troy City Tactical, “We plan to serve the city well. Even the name, Troy City, brings in a little bit of Fall River history.”

According to The Herald News, "the store occupies a store front in the plaza at the corner of Borden and Fourth Streets. There are holsters, targets, T-shirts, gun cleaning supplies and eye and ear protections on the walls."

Behind the counter there are revolvers and pistols in the cases, rifles and shotguns mounted on the walls.

There are training and safety classes that take place at Troy City Tactical. Skidmore states, “We teach people how to take apart a gun, how to clean a gun, how to be safe around a gun, how to be a responsible gun owner.”
