For the first time in several years, fewer guns were stolen from cars in Nashville in 2024 compared to 2023. Nashville Public Radio reports the thefts had been one of the city’s most persistent problems since 2013, when the state legislature passed a law allowing guns to be carried in cars. The Metro Nashville Police Department reported that 928 guns were stolen from cars in 2024, more than 281 fewer firearms than in 2023. It is the lowest number the city has recorded since 2019. Data from the FBI shows that Memphis, Chattanooga and Nashville are among the top 20 cities in the country for guns stolen from cars.
