Sportsman Shanty in Jackson

The longtime owners of same, 40+ yrs., just passed away. Great little mom & pop store. Bea, the wife, was the sweetest old lady you could ever meet! I bought several guns there + ammo, etc. The son inherited the place & according to a Facebook page post, is selling everything @ 50% off to facilitate going out of business. I just stopped by but there wasn't anyone there. The place w/ be missed!!! RIP

Heard the news earlier today, been 25 years or so since I last visited that neck of the woods

I didn't even know it existed, but I was planning on sneaking off the CJRPC tomorrow so I will stop by. Says they are closed on Mondays but maybe because they are selling everything they will be open. If not it gives me an excuse to go back to Range on Tuesday. I will post an update. Obviously I didn't know the owners but may the rest in peace. Never like hearing about the loss of Mom & Pop stores.
