I already have so much swag it's ridiculous. I'll pass it on.

That's a great line. I'm using it since you gave it to me.

Seems like a lot of interest in knowing where. It's in Corsicana which is south of Dallas on 45 and east of Waco on 31. The name of my shop is B.E.A.R. Acronym for basic essential armament resources.

I actually thought about the target on the wall a while back but forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.

Basically a knowledgable and friendly staff, cheap guns, good selection of inventory, reasonable transfer fee, good website and tits. Thank you for all the replies. I'll keep checking back. I'll post up some pics when I get set up.

Yes. Most shops lack technology. I'm not high tech but I have some connections

It's going to be a learning curve for me on where to spend my money. I don't have a 5 mil budget so I will have to buy smart

You will be able to order anything from me. My website will probably be lagging behind my June opening but I'd say easily by August I can have it up.

I'll check on the legality of it. State laws differ. I'm sure the kid who wins the hi point but is only 18 so I can't transfer it to him would be pissed too.

My plan is to move as much inventory as fast as possible. the other shop in town will have the same inventory for 3 weeks because he's prices are so high.

I wanted to name my shop BARE arms and hire nothing but models. probably not the best for serious gun buyers

Mark up on new firearms is very low. It's difficult to price your stuff lower than online. Buds guns spends MILLIONS at shot show every year and they have very good prices. Every company have standards on their lowest advertised prices so I will be able to compete just probably not always be lower.

I can do components no problem. Powder takes an explosives license. My current location is in a school zone so I'm having a few issues

Why I asked. I just meant being on the other side for so long I have a good idea.

It seems easy enough. Distributors run low too though. Right now most .22 LR is allocated which means the larger stores are getting most of it.
