[QUOTE="DavidMcmillan, post: 3206413, member: 11749"] It's hard to imagine that any local store in small town OK could have prices below sites such as gunbuyer or grabagun. To make a success of that, their operating costs would have to be very low. The added service of helping a potential new shooter choose their first gun would certainly be of value, but how many options could they be able to show, or would it be just what the store owner likes, and carries as inventory. I know of one successful store in NE Oklahoma and their success has come from diversification into archery and heavy in fishing supplies. It is a tough business and takes an owner with a fair amount of marketing knowledge, and a good level of capital helps also. [/QUOTE]
