What if a gun shop, . . .

I have yet to visit a local shop that sells USPSA/IPSC/IPDA cardboard, pasters, or even any sanctioned paper targets. It’s always the typical birchwood casey shoot-n-c or some random mini silhouette. I don’t recall even seeing a shop selling B-27’s unless they are connected to a range. Holsters, magazine carriers, and accessories are typically extremely limited.

Most shops cater to the casual shooter.

maybe twice me and dave agreed with somthing... we on a roll buddy!!!! We going places..

You'd have to find where you can actually get powder, primers, and bullets at reasonable prices. Right now, primers and are worth their weight in gold and powder almost worth it's weight in silver.

Targets would be something easy to stock, with little overhead. (I've been staring at zombie splatter targets in the shop for six years)

Some legitimate targets would be a welcome change.

Things won't be like this forever. It was the same after Sandyhook. This will all settle down eventually.

I'd rather New Orleans have a gunsmith with a positive national level reputation that is a full service machine shop and SOT.

Im trying! Lol gimme a few more years to put GGW on the map.

I have been shooting more than 60 years and I have never seen the Firearms & Ammunition situation this bad.

The political situation is far different now .

That was how I learned to reload back in 1963 in Monroe. One sportings good store had a single stage press set up. You had to buy whatever bullets you wanted, you used your cases and they supplied powder and primers. I think it was rifles only and only one powder available, probably 4831 from a big barrel. They actually set it up and I think I weighed each power charge, but given the years cannot remember exactly. It was a good start for a beginning college student who really could not afford factory ammo.

I think it could be good marketing assuming the shop is also teaching and helping people to reload. If the shop was stocked up on items to sell then that could draw customers who would spend money on other things while there.
