Just heard that Sam the owner of the Cop Shop recently died following a long illness. Don't know the status of the store, but would hate to see the only gun shop in the city close.
SAM RIP

Thought I saw here or on Facebook that it was closing
In the early 80's Sam had his Cop Shop in the basement of Shamrock Trading Co. on Baltimore St in the old National Sporting Goods building. We had a video store (LEO owned), Shamrock Trading Co (pawnshop), Shamrock Arms (gun store) and the Cop Shop all in one building. Great times, we all made money. Sorry to hear of his passing, he was always a stand up guy in our business dealings. Chris

I’m a long time customer, I know there were health issues recently but I’m so sorry to hear about this ;(

RIP
I bought 3 Glocks from him. Each time, he would tell me about a white South African guy who would claim he was African American, when filling out forms in his wonderfully cramped store. I didn’t have the heart to tell him I’d heard him tell it before.
Great guy. Will miss him.

That’s too bad.
I have bought two Blue Label Glocks from Sam.
Prayers out to him and his family.

RIP, does this mean The Cop Shop is closing? I haven't had the privilege of going there to meet Sam, but I was planning to next year to use my GSSF coupon.
I didn't know Sam was sick but I had heard they were already in the beginning processes of closing the shop.
That's so sad. He was a great guy, I traded in a Glock for another model there....he had a lot of cool stuff in the shop, and it had the "feel".....I wish I had gotten down there again.

I understand they will be open tomorrow, assume they are clearing out their inventory.

The FFL license is in Sam's name, therefore anyone who was in the 7-day wait cycle is on hold. Dawn (Sam's wife) is waiting for permission to release the firearms and permission to sell direct to customers.
The license expires in March, so if she doesn't have permission to sell direct to customers, she will be forced to sell her inventory to other FFL's.
Dang, what a bitch.

I just stopped by to see her and pay my condolences. She has no interest in continuing the shop so everything will be liquidated, either to other FFL or individuals depending on ATF/FFL stuff.

Hopefully one of the IP's will purchase the inventory, of course after I secure my 19X

Well I called her this AM, she sold the 19X's to Worth-A-Shot, don't know what other inventory they bought.
Now I will lose sleep over it!
Wait.. is this a gun you already paid for?
