Is it still open or did Mr. personality drive it into the ground?

haha Mr. Personality. I went there about 10 years ago, and dealt with him...vowed to never go back and never did. WHY on earth would you be so miserable?? Especially when you own a retail store...arent you supposed to be nice to customers? Or is that just a myth??

yah, i remember that guy, gave me a hard time when i wanted a box taped up after buying a squirrell 22 for the kids. we were in an astro van and did not want the kids getting into it while i was driving.. that was 15 years ago and never went back for anything else.. as a matter of fact i still have it, my daughter liked shooting shorts out of it.. the boys grew out of it pretty quick. keeping it for grand kids hopefully not too soon.. :roll:

Indeed. It's been about that long for me as well. I used to go there all the time when the other folks owned it. I bought my first rifle (HK91) there in 88. They also helped me get rid of my contraband when Florio screwed us.

Shops all closed up and has been for a couple years now. You guys are all right about the last owner....what a winner that guy was. I would ride my bicycle up their when I was a kid to get warms for fishing and he would give us crap about where we "parked" our bikes.

 

He wanted us to "park" them in a spot and on kick stands!!! :shock: What a weirdo...no wonder the place closed up.

Thanks for the info Scott.

The things I saw that man do and not do for customers is amazing. His wife wasn't much better. Though easy on the eyes

no problem...anytime.

He only cared about you if you were a cop. We talked for an hour once until he found out I was a civillian. Then I was nothing. His wife was always pleasant though.

thats right, my brother told me he was a cop and that explained everything..

The old owner Neil was a great guy. The last guy was a complete waste of oxygen. I did buy a P-38 from him once.

He wasnt a cop he was ex-military....I went to school with his step daughter...if you thought the mother was easy on the eyes you should have seen her! 8-)

 

He was a tool plain and simple. Most likely why he isnt around anymore.

I could have sworn he was a Jackson cop. Oh well, he must have been Navy to have such an inferiority chip on his shoulder.

Yeah he was a nosy and typical 1920's style shop keeper. I brought one thing there, out of desperation and that was the first and last time.

LOL!!! I dont know about Navy but I know he wasnt a Jackson cop....I knew most of them.
