Anyone remember this gun store?

[VoodooSan]

Just trying to fill a gap in my memory. Does anyone remember a gun store in San Bruno (I think) in the early 90s called CAI? Small hole-in-the-wall place, and I am going crazy trying to recall exactly WHERE it was located. All I remember is that I stumbled upon it one day driving around, and the receipt I have for a purchase there only shows a P.O. Box. Thanks in advance for any help!

Tabors, used to be next to Don Picos Mexican restaurant

I remember that place.

First & Last time I ever order a Super Taco that surprised me when the dish arrived
a few minutes later with a HK P7 magazine stuffed with Has guacamole inside.

Used to be a place called Arms and Ammo. It was on the second floor of a place. It was a pretty small shop. On El Camino Real

There used to be a few places.

Tabors
A place run by a guy from the SF Sheriff's office.
Another small shop off of San Bruno Ave. That might be CAI. Sat in a small corner.

There used to be a few places. But now it's just Pennisula Guns and Tactical.

There used to be a real small gun shop on the corner of San Bruno Ave and Elm, across the street from the old phone company building. I can't recall the name.

Not really downtown as I recall. Definitely not on ECR, and it was a ground floor store. Quite small as I recall. Was the San Bruno and Elm store a really small shop? I seem to remember one glass counter probably not more than eight feet long. That was (in my memory) pretty much the entire shop. Two guys working, and it struck me as a side-job kind of gig for them. Might have been LEOs?

Think that might have been the SF Sheriff guys..
It was a side gig for them..

Before Tabor moved into his Shop on El Camino, next to Don Picos, that store was named Tabor Shooters Supply, he had a small store on San Mateo Ave. on the west side of the street, just north of Sylvan Ave. I remember he named it Tabor Engineering. I still have a Coffee mug with that logo on it.

Tabor had been a Reserve Officer for a while at one of the local Police agencies.

I don't know if that could be the store to O/P is remembering. I lived on Sylvan & Green in San Bruno from 1981-1988. I don't remember a shop called CAI.

I do remember the Arms & Ammo on ECR.

Double Action Arms on San Bruno ave? It was a tool shed.

Frank Tabor was cool. Always had the radio channel (KSFO?)on that railed against all the stupid libturds.

The last revolver I purchased? a S&W 617? was from Frank Tabor. Cool old-school gun store, though I?m sure the kids on Reddit would say he was a terrible FUDD lol

Around that time there was a small house on San Bruno ave a couple of hundred yards west of El Camino. It was like literally inside the living room of this house that must have been in both a commercial and a residential zone at the same time. One glass case full of several handguns is all I remember and I don't remember the stores name.
I remember looking around in there once but I wasn't of the age to be buying firearms yet. This place wasn't around very long.
Tabor's was a cool shop on El Camino. It was not far from the current Pennisula Tactical gun store but on the other side of the street. I wasn't able to buy anything from there either but he tolerated me looking around. I remember he had the biggest German Shepard dog I've still ever seen so far in my life .

Not the one on San Mateo Avenue. The place I'm remembering was up closer to Hwy 280/Skyline. I remember it being in what I used to think of as the "fog belt" in that area. Double Action Arms might have been it, if it was as small as peregine1220 describes. Or the place WWDHD described. I wish the receipt I had for my purchased had something more than CAI on it. That probably wasn't the actual business name. Thanks for all the memory-prods, gentlemen. I think this one is just going to remain unknown for now.
