Keeping it in the Family: Calguns Businesses in California
The other evening, my date asked me where I wanted to go for dinner. That got me thinking. Are there any restaurant owners here in Los Angeles? I've been thinking that I'd like to keep my money in the family, so to speak. I'd rather spend my dollars with calguns mechanics, calguns restaurantuers, calguns doctors, calguns carpenters...

This is actually a neat idea. I don't have a direct answer for your question, but we could use this thread as a means to lists businesses of calgunners the same way we list calguns gunstores on banners. It should be made into a sticky.
I sure need to go get my root canal filled, this clay stuff just won't last; wouldn't mind going to see a calguns dentist;););) |
If Kest would prefer not to sticky such a thread in the general area, I wouldn't mind hosting it in our Entreprise forum. I really think that we ought to support each other. I for one would rather pay $2 for something from a Calgunner over $1.50 at WalMart. And, yes, I think gunsmiths and dealers ought to be included as well.
|
If we could keep the listing updated on the 1st post it would actually work and be helpful.
If it turns into scrolling down 12 pages of comments and listings, just too much to deal with. Would love to see it and use it, though. |

I've got a few patients who are Calgunners....that I know of...and a few more that are shooters..but I've not asked them if they visit any of the gun forums. I kinda keep my "hobby" on the quiet side while at work....but sometimes my staff will complain about ammo / upper receivers coming in and stacked next to the dental supplies that the UPS guy has brought in :p . PM me if you want any more info....I've gotten three other dentists shooting...but they aren't members here..I'm the 'redneck' of the group!! |
I do computer upgrades and repairs, also custom machines built to order. Also, pretty much anything related to the internet including enterprise level stuff and collocation, loops (backbone bandwidth), and dedicated servers.

OP: start updating that first post ;) |
If we can keep it to a clean post, meaning not too cluttered and jumbled, I'll sticky it. I like the idea we just want to keep it from becoming too hard to use and find people.
I know I'd patronize a calgunner owned business given the choice. |
