There are many gun stores or gun shops as some are called. Don’t confuse us as a “pawn shop”, because we are not.
Our store, we feel, is unique in a manner not often found. We are indeed a mom and pop style store that the owners, Dwight and Crystal, take a great amount of pride in. We value our customers and the service we strive to provide is a must. Built from scratch with a lot of hard work starting in 1989, we have gone through many changes, as any business would during that amount of time. We have evolved. Our latest part of that evolution is that we have dedicated part of our store to a museum of sorts. The museum portion is absolutely FREE. Our museum portion has on display over 400 firearms, curios, relics and artifacts. If you like firearms and world history, you’ll like what you see at our store. It’s all free and we cordially invite you to come in, say hello, and browse our displays. If you have questions, feel free to ask and we’ll try to give you a proper answer.
Of course, we can’t do this without continuing a full working gun store, so we continuously supply and inventory what our market asks for.
