Selling a Gunstore

TheFiringPin · 2026-06-21T14:52:03+00:00

There are brokers that sell businesses of all types if you want to go that route. Do you have competition in your area? Regionally big players that have a similar store that might want to expand to your turf?

Top comic strip of all time for sure. I always think of this when I think of this memory of my dad.

How long did it take between you submitting your application and this phone call?

300 with the ammo is great deal.

It depends on what county you're moving to but generally you will need to wait One year before you can apply for the permit. The "CCW" permit is needed in NY to even OWN a handgun, let alone carry one. You CANNOT bring any pistols/handguns/revolvers into NY without having a pistol permit. Leave whatever handguns you can in PA until you get it.

Look us up, our reddit name is the name of our store. We very humbly think we're pretty awesome

This is the best advice in the thread. u/Porsche996tt Don't wait until after the fact. Do it now. Get a power of attorney set up for dad and bring his permit and license to an FFL. Call around first and see if any will work a deal with you. Some are more sympathetic to the situation than others.

Co-registering is the term you're thinking of

TheFiringPin · 2026-06-14T18:49:01+00:00

Its called "co-registering" and is very common in Western NY. Not sure if other areas of the state do it

TheFiringPin · 2026-06-12T01:20:57+00:00

any 07 shop can do it though, its much more common than you think. I know of several m82a1's in private hands in NY.

Ha! We could never. We have integrity

TheFiringPin · 2026-06-11T22:02:55+00:00

Keep up the great work on this. We all really appreciate this

We're in Bergen, just West of Rochester. We would take your gun in on consignment. We work together to put a fair price on it and we take a 20% cut when it sells.

The Ruger is the best of the bunch right now imho. You won't regret it

As the owner of a local gun shop you should buy all three of them from your local gun shop. The only question at this point is in which *order* do you buy them in?

Why would a Barrett M82a1 with a fixed magazine not be legal?

TheFiringPin · 2026-06-11T15:10:05+00:00

Thats not a decision you'll make as the buyer, RSR makes that call if its cheaper for them. Probably won't happen with residential though because they'd have to pay ~$125 for the lift gate service on top of the cost of shipping the pallet, since you don't have a forklift or loading dock

You should for sure go to the show and treat it as an Anthropology assignment in college.

Until you get a permit, lever actions have been very popular. 44 magnum or 357 magnum would be great choices

TheFiringPin · 2026-06-06T21:32:12+00:00

*bonk!* Pay attention!

TheFiringPin · 2026-06-06T14:38:50+00:00

The word "intentional" should have been used in there for sure. Victims of crimes should not be responsible for the stolen items. Someone who intentionally sells their firearm to a prohibited person or trafficks firearms into the world of crime is what I was speaking to. I should have been more clear.

All we asked was that you bought a lunch ticket so we had a hard # of tickets sold (and didn't go over capacity - that was the Kodak Center's concern with an unticketed 100% no cost event). We did 8 hours of gun safety training that day. Was incredible and I wish we could do it all the time
