‼️🚨Public Statement / Customer Notice🚨‼️
We want to address some recent developments with our customers and the local community.
A former employee has opened a new gun store nearby, using a name that is a slight variation of ours. We want to be very clear: this new store is not affiliated with us in any way. They are not related to our business, our ownership, or our team. We are disappointed by this attempt to copy our name and reputation, and we view it as unprofessional and unnecessary.
We are actively working with our attorney to address the name similarity and seek appropriate changes.
Additionally, we recently discovered that over the past couple of months, when customers asked about items not currently in our inventory, some responses directed them to simply order the item online for transfer. This is not how we operate. We are a full-service gun shop, not primarily a transfer service. We are committed to stocking a proper selection of fi****ms and accessories for our customers.
We also learned that inventory levels were intentionally allowed to drop, creating the false impression that we were closing or relocating. This behavior is completely unacceptable. We are already working hard to rebuild our inventory and restore the selection our customers expect and deserve.
Our priority has always been providing honest service, competitive pricing, and a strong in-store selection. We appreciate the loyalty of our customers and are dedicated to earning that trust every day.
If you have any questions about this situation, our products, services, or anything else, please reach out to us directly. We are here to help.
Thank you for your continued support.
