Arrowhead Pawn Shop

Arrowhead Pawn Shop is a pawn shop and part of the Iron Pipeline.^[1] It was founded in 1991 and is located in Jonesboro, Georgia.^[2] The store was described as the most significant source outside of New York State of guns recovered by the New York Police Department in 2009.^[1]^[3] After a gun from the shop was used in the murders of two New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers, The New York Times reported that Arrowhead ranked fifth on the U.S.-wide list of legal sources of guns used in crimes.^[1] The newspaper quoted an anonymous federal official as stating that "[Arrowhead] were like a Crazy Eddie of gun dealers. They had a lot of volume and they did a lot of business."^[1] The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence describes Arrowhead as a "notorious 'bad apple' gun dealer", having sold over 1720 guns that were subsequently used in crimes.^[4]

Arrowhead Pawn Shop was rebuilt in 2007 following a fire; retail space quadrupled from 2,000 square feet to 8,000 square feet in the new premises.^[5] As of 2014, the store's chief executive is Arthur Banks.^[1] The shop describes itself as "a family owned business dedicated to good prices, good customer service and good vibes".^[5]
