Default The Shootist is closing!

Saw it on the website. Sad to see another small business closing the doors.
Picked up a few gems from there over the years.

I contacted Rob and he told me they’re shutting down due to 2 break in’s too many. Doors will be closed by end of Sept.
Not taking anymore consignments. Pick up anything you have their.

Really sorry to see that happen. It is getting really bad when the Skells start running honest hard working people out of business. How is it that their is so much attention on guns and the Cops can't figure out how to catch these guys that are obviously selling the guns to gangs and other low lifes.

I am going to pass this on to CSSA and see if they can bring some pressure to bear. At least they can use it in their lobbying efforts.

I did business there years back a few times and I do think the guys name was ROB ,very good guy,I hate seeing smaller dealers go down.

Support your small dealers even if it means a few extra bucks, friend ship and honest is hard to find.

Sad to see another small business closing down. I dealt at The Shootist pretty regular from the time Ken opened the business to current date. The current owner Rob is a great guy as well.
