Gun shop owners,I have questions...

[TonyB]

I am seriously thinking about opening a gun shop.....am I nuts?How is the business?I know a little about firearms(mostly handguns)nothing about reloading.I know I need to get an FFL..is it hard..and what are some of the costs of opening?
thanks

I'm not an FFL.

Talk about having you by the 'nads...
