While surfing the web I accidentally found Calguns and since I have lived in So. CA almost my entire life before retiring I wanted to share a few memories.
I'm curious if any of you living in the Inland Empire area remember the M&I Gun Store in Rancho Cucamonga which open for business in the early 80's and later became Rancho Gun Store for many years before closing. When the store first opened I was there and before long I was helping out behind the counter any chance I could. Not long after the owner hired me to work odd hours whenever I could after working my regular job. Those were the good old days and the stories I could tell you. Before the AW ban I can remember stacks of AR-15's, Norinco AK's, Uzi's.....you name it, we stocked it. It was a high volume store and we did a booming business because of our low pricing and cases of ammo we always had in stock for sale. In the end it was the ever increasing CA gun laws that put an end to it all. Also, how many remember how wonderful the Great Western gun shows were at the Pomona Fair grounds? Three days of family fun, chili cookoff's, music, etc. It was later that LA County closed the show down because guns are evil and promote crime. Because of all this I decided to retire as soon as I could and leave CA to live in northern Nevada. I remember my last day as we were leaving town on the 15 fwy to get on 395 north...what a great feeling! I never looked back once in the rear view mirror to see what I was leaving.
