As they say, if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life. I love guns. I love being in the gun store and just staring at all the things I can't afford on the wall.
The problem, there is only ONE gun shop in my area worth going to. It's about 10 miles away and leaves something to be desired. I can't imagine how many other gun owners in my area must feel the same way. The only other thing close are sporting goods stores that only sell long guns and overpriced ammo.
So, on comes the thought about opening my own gun shop. I have found a PERFECT peice of property about 3 miles from my house, 5 acres to do whatever I want with, for a good price, and in a high traffic area. I'm a business man, I've run several businesses before, so I know what I'm doing in that regard. The main issue I see is with the ATF and getting a FFL. I have no question that I could get business in this particular area.
So, before I even start doing a lot of reasearch....is owning your own gunshop something GREAT for a gun geek like myself? Or is it more trouble than it's worth? Anybody here own a shop? Is getting a FFL like pulling teeth?
