First Black owned gun shop

Super happy for this guy. I wish him all the success. Once he publishes his location I'm going to try and stop in.

Black/White/Purple/rainbow - Every body has the right to own a business and produce income, and every body has the right to defend themselves. I hope this makes the media rounds as much as all the negative stories about race relations right now.

First Black-owned gun shop to open in Indy

That is wild. Extremely happy to see this though.

I agree. The second amendment and most of it's true believers do not care about the things the media pushes / divides (race / religion / class / sexual preference / etc.) Unfortunately, it won't make the rounds. It does not fit their narrative. I hope he does well.

GOOD!

Also, What will moms demand action say about this? I think their hands are tied here.

This is great news, the 2A tent needs to be large and diverse. To keep our rights we must reach out to those generally not thought of as gun people and bring them into the coalition.

Of all the things that terrified those against the rights we all hold dear, in the past 4 years is the resonance of the conservative message with Black and Hispanic voters. If the cities where election fraud was alleged are excluded, the increase was phenomenal and historic, but the MSM will never tell you that...

My guess is that they will rain indignation and curses down on his head, even if he was from mars.

Good luck to him.

 

[stchas]

Good luck to him. Can't wait to check it out.

Just read about this. Good for him! And us!

Media won't know what to do..."gun store bad" vs. "minority business good"...I say it is win-win.

 

[jbombelli]

Good for him! I'll stop in there when a case of 9mm doesn't cost more than a new Glock.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Outstaanding news. Hopefully I can get April's gun from him.

Man, I suppose I "knew" this but it never really hit me until you typed it out. Crazy!

I hate the term "African American" Is he African or American?

Best of luck to him.
Saw a report on TV about it. He won't yet reveal his location; not sure why - he's going to have to do so eventually or nobody will find him - but the pictures on TV provided enough clues that it shouldn't be too difficult for someone to figure out. The TV showed a strip mall, so one could search on the other business names, and it showed an address number.
IMO, this isn't a good time to start a gun store - hard to get inventory. I hope he can get enough stock so that he can make a profit and stay in business.

I’m surprised it hasn’t happened sooner, but congrats!

Italian American, Irish American, native American, Mexican American, Jewish American. America historically embraces geographic heritage with all ethnicities.

"The 39-year-old grew up as a big fan of the late Don Davis from Don's Guns. He made mention to Don on several occasions that one day he too wanted to sell guns."

I hope this is not a clue to his future pricing.

Hard no on which part?
