Did Gander Mountain lose their regulated license?
I walked into Gander mountain in SBY and noticed that there where no regulated fiirearms for sale. I asked around at the local gunshop and was told that they had lost there regulated firearms license or that the FFL quit. Does anyone know what happened? I bought a regulated Sig Sauer P6 there and did not enjoy the experience.

couple of stories going around. one is that the ffl holder quit. the other is they released a firearm to a felon that was not approved. your pick on which is true. probably a bit of both

At the crazy prices they were charging good riddance! 10 round magazine only... have to have internal locking device on handguns even on P6's..i tried to explain to the FFL that older pistols made after (forgot the date) did not need locking devices he told me basically to go to hell. And then they were selling handguns without fire shell casings. I will not miss them at all.

They announced one in E Rutherford, NJ. Between that and the one in Harrisburg, I don't see one being built in DE.

Otherwise, no crime is committed and/or stern looks deserved unless they let the firearm go before the 8th day, which is not legal whether the paperwork is back or not. After the 8th day, it is perfectly legal to deliver the firearm whether the paperwork is back or not, due to safeguards to protect citizens from bureaucratic hell-dragging that are built into the law. __________________ Ed The beatings will continue until morale improves. http://www.centralvirginiatactical.com/ MSI Executive Member - http://www.marylandshallissue.org/ |

man that is hysterical and I wouldnt be surprised if MD 'Ceasefire' came to the conclusion that 'we gotta support these guys' as for gander they always seemed like wannabe big biz and I'm not for cutting out the local FFL |

There was talk late last year in the Newspaper about them looking around Smyrna. The company wouldn't comment on it and I haven't heard anymore about it. __________________ Live for nothing, or die for something C&R Holder Maryland Designated Collector NRA life member MSI member Second Amendment Foundation Member NRA Range Safety Officer Elk Neck St. Forest Range Safety Volunteer "In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated, and scorned.

When they first opened they had a lot of trouble with selling regulated firearms as well. They had them out for a few weeks, then had to pack them up from the shelves. I guess this time it's a little more permanent. Regardless...good riddance, they didn't do anyone any favors with the crazy high prices.

Holy link thread revival batman! I've never been to Winks yet, though I've heard good things. I also want to see what's up with the old Dave's Sport Shop down on Nanticoke Rd.

I was told (so it's hearsay) that the comment was made "we already have a gun shop in town". A very small shop at that on main street. While I have done quite a bit of business there, I have also done a lot of business at Cabelas in Hamburg, Pa. and I find the bigger shop has a lot more pluses. More jobs, draws more peripheral business, more selection of outdoor equipment, more jobs etc, etc. I have hunted near Hamburg in the past, hiked the Appalachian trail 2 miles north of the store, and personally feel the store improved the community a lot. They even have a Dunkin Donut and a Cracker Barrel restaurant among many other new stores and motels. It's a shame that they picked Smyrna to locate a store. Other towns would have been much more receptive. |

The old dude at Wink's is not the most friendly of characters. Buying a pistol from him is like pulling teeth. I have made 3 large purchases at his shop, and he still asks me "are you going to buy it" before i handle any firearm in his store. The wife and son are good people though.
