[1][2][3] It was originally opened in the 1950s by Bob Chow,[4] who had competed as a pistol shooter at the 1948 Olympics.

High Bridge Arms has been a point of controversy as to whether it is creating crime in the area of its location.

[4][8] While the owner did not publicly state a reason, media reports connected the closure to the concerns he had voiced several weeks earlier about new city regulations on firearms sales that were being proposed by Board of Supervisors member Mark Farrell.

[4][8] However, in 2018 it was revealed that shortly before the closure, ATF officials had recommended to revoke the license of High Bridge Arms because of "numerous, repeated serious violations of the Gun Control Act", including, allegedly, selling a firearm to a person prohibited from possessing it, and selling 71 guns without recording the sale.
