It is something that requires hard work and dedication, but the rewards are beyond belief. From day one, it has been profitable and I have been blessed in that it has afforded my wife the opportunity to stay home and raise our children. I am proud to say that this business is one of a few that has NEVER reported a financial loss. In fact, our sales numbers (gross receipts and number of firearms sold) are on track to surpass each of the previous two years. While other firearms retailers have come on the scene in the past few years, we have continued to grow. If you have ever had the desire to own your own business AND firearms are your passion, you will likely NEVER have another opportunity like this.

My family and I wish to offer our most sincere thanks to all of our loyal customers whom have made our dreams possible over the last nine years.Īs we move forward, please note these important changes that will take effect immediately:ġ) ALL SALES ARE FINAL. I will be honest and say that it truly pains me to write this, however I am not the least bit regretful of a single thing and look forward to the future. I just never imagined how difficult it would actually be. Three years ago, I realized that I had another calling in life and as I pursued that career path, I knew this day would eventually come. This is a bittersweet moment for my family and I. As much as I would love to continue to operate this business remotely, that is simply not possible and so, on September 29th 2018, Second Amendment Sports & Defense LLC will close our doors for the last time. Having completely satisfied that passion and desire in my life, my family and I are excited to pursue a different destiny. The benefits of owning this shop have far exceeded my dreams, not just in the life it has provided for my family, but in the relationships I have formed with so many wonderful people. Often, when greeting customers, people would ask, “How are you?” I would simply reply, “I’m living The Dream!” I truly am. Now, I have been blessed with another career opportunity that will take my family and I away from the business I built and the State I love. Along the way, I have made many dear friends and have had the pleasure of earning the business of thousands of customers as I strived to offer the lowest prices and best service the industry could offer locally. Over the past nine years in particular, I have had the distinct honor of starting a part- time, small business from nothing, and growing it into a major leader in the area’s firearms market. Throughout my life, I have had many blessings.
