I had a discussion with the owner; after many years in the business he decided to hang it up; he was a very humble, soft spoken man of great intelligence. The shops specialty was older collectible firearms.

The items that intrigued me the most were, Buford Pusser's gun and badge.

Brick and mortar shops like this are sadly, going the way of the dinosaur.

I agree, he is a nice guy and it was a unique gunshop.
