Hey All,

I have a question for you. I have a growing interest in owning a gun shop in the future. However, I have read several items/articles on the internet that suggest it is a very hard business to maintain. This confuses me. The firearm industry is a multi-billion dollar enterprise. There are countless small arm manufacturers. I can understand there being competition with Wally World for long guns, but they don't sell handguns. If the local gunshops are floundering, who the heck is selling all these handguns? Is the local gunshop business viable? Any data/feedback you can provide would be much appreciated.
