I don't care so much what he stocks, as long as he stocks LOTS of things.

I never know what I might "need" or want that day

I've watched 2 gun stores open her locally over the past year.
the first one went bust, the 2nd one i think is struggling.
They have maybe 30 to 50 total firearms in stock.
ok, sure they can get anything, but the odds of me liking that 1/50 thing is minimal

400 or 500 firearms, I've got a good shot.

gotta have inventory. Used, new, shotguns, pistols, revolvers, rifles, EBR's, etc. The great thing about guns is there is something for everyone. But if I can't see it, then there is no real point in buying it from you.

lots of inventory. And not 20 of the same thing, but 20 different things.
