I drove by the storefront today because it is adjacent to our local donut shop, which made me think of this thread.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I am so glad this place is out of business, even though it was right next door to my house.
Gary either didn't know or didn't care how to manage or fund a successful gun shop.
In the course of three years, these fools begged for me to hook them up with some friends in the industry, then spurned all the opportunities they begged for because of 'cash flow issues'.
These same geniuses forgot to sign not one, but two of my NFA forms.
And then there was the suppressor that time forgot; a Surefire can I bought in another state that took them nearly a year to notify me it had been transferred to their shop, after first accusing the gun store I bought it from of not actually sending it.
Prior to the great Magpul price run-up that first started to really clue people in, I used to talk about how frustrated I was with this shop, and I would feel like I was the bad guy. Eventually, I just quit, except to vent to Jim at every opportunity. There were some decent people in that shop who seemed to want to do right, but in the collective sense, that whole place was a train wreck from day 1.
