Just Google Gun Shop zipcode. It's that easy. Uff da!
ETA: I posted this because people might be interested in how many people near them hold Federal Firearms Licenses. I'm assuming that not that many DUers are looking to buy firearms. Knowing what's around you is useful information, I think. Some people apparently thought I was encouraging buying firearms. I'm not.

Information is good.

(146,262 posts)if they want to. I imagine that some of those people are actively engaged in doing that, despite not having storefront locations. Having an FFL also allows a person to order firearms online for direct delivery. Some may be just using it primary to buy firearms.

(7,720 posts)but I think for the most part, they sell guns at shows and to their friends and people they know, not just any hanyacker that comes off the street.

(45,319 posts)I don't care for them myself. I assume folks who own a few probably have occasional need to give custom to such a shop but like smack or strip clubs I'm just not looking for it.

(146,262 posts)decades though, nor do I intend to add any. I no longer hunt or compete in target shooting. I was just curious, and was surprised by the number of FFL owners near where I live. I'm curious about many things. It's a personal characteristic.

Looks like they changed the name to Guns & Ammo after moving into Nick's Liquor.
