    Gunfighter closing down retail store

    Unfortunately due to CA red tape and a crappy landlord, GFT will be closing their retail store.

    Oh No - this makes me very sad.

      Major bummer. Sad to see such a great shop shutting down, but it sounds like they are pretty content with re-focusing their energy into the other business, so at least there is a positive outcome there.

        went by today, and 3 of the 5 storefronts were closed. I have to believe the owner of the lot wants everyone out so they can sell it to developer.

          We hate to see another FFL close in CA. Lease non-renewals are awful. We do still off AR Pistols at least, so there's still availability even if we are a little drive

                  GFT was the bomb. They'll re-open somewhere else. I used to go to them when they had the crappiest location off of Miramar and then moved to their current store.

                  Those guys are way too good to just close shop due to a crappy landlord.

                    "free enterpise" is concerned ONLY with making the most money. Period. If they can make more by selling it to a developer - they will. And probably should.

                      Ahhh dammit! That sucks! Man this town is hurting for quality gun shops and GFT was the very best. They will be sorely missed.

                      Godspeed on the smithing and Cerekoting shop!

                        I thought you could only store guns if you have an FFL. Would they still be able to take in guns for smithing and cerakote if they forfeit their FFL license?

                          You confuse free enterprise, sole proprietor, and public corporations.

                          I and many people I know ran/run very successful profitable businesses for decades. While the bottom line was necessary to continue operations, it was hardly our main focus let alone the only one.

                              Read the link. At least for the time being they have zero plans to reopen as an ffl anywhere. Really sad, I have a few AR pistols from them and always had guns transferred there. They will be missed
