I was talking with some friends about what would make a perfect gun shop, and I'm curious to what you think? What guns would they stock? Prices? Accessories? Ammo? Gun smith services? Online transfer fees? Etc.

Perfect would be a gun shop that has a range where you can shoot every gun both on and off roster available.Comment

No mall ninjas or FUD. And would have to be in a free state too I suppose. I personally have 0 interest in shops that don't have an active and fair prices consignment and used gun selection. Good parking. A restroom is a plus. No typical gun shop employee attitude.
This is just some of the basics it can be expanded on.Comment

One that knew what you wanted 10 days before you went in so they could have it dros'ed to you before you got there so you could leave with it. Or one in a free state that you could pick it out and leave with it.2 Timothy 3Comment

For me it would be any gun store before 1934...
" National Firearms Act. The first major federal firearms law passed in the 20th century was the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934. "
But I'm a easy going law-abiding person, that might not work for everyone in the US today.
Ohh longing for the good old days

I'd like to see a shop carry more traditional stuff rather than items of the 'tacticool' variety.Comment

The liberal see's the glass as half full and tries to take more.
The conservative see's glass as half empty and tries to keep it that way.
I'm with the people on the side just pouring water in the glass trying to get a drink!Comment
