    Default Suggested gun store tour of Denver area?

    I literally have to kill 6-8 hours in Denver tomorrow (11/30). I'm starting (and ending) at approximately I25 and Colorado, but given the amount of time, the entire Denver metro area is in striking distance. Yhea, with that much time I could drive home (Colorado Springs) but I feel like exploring.

    What gun shops would you suggest I visit that have a wide selections and/or are AR specality shops? I'd like to come up to speed on all the Denver shops I hear about on this board, but have ignored in the past becasue it was of no interest at the time.

    I'm not really in the market for anything right now, but who knows...

    Ps. If anyone is interested in meeting a nobody from Colorado Springs, PM me and we'll exchange phone numbers and set something up. The day's start and end times are a bit fluid, but I think I'll be free starting about noon and ending about 7, when I'll eat dinner, then pickup the folks at 8ish.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    I free up at noon at I25 and Colorado, so I should be there by 12:30.

    Future posts: Please give me an address or website. I hapen to know Bowers, but that won't be true of all the other names!

    Ps. Given that you had a time, I'm taking your post as an "I'll be there" - is that correct?

    Meh for 5280. Never had so many people in one store go out of their way to mention/ point out I'm a girl & how inclusive they are. Wtf?


    EDIT: Nice enough I suppose, lots of wall inventory.

    Damage Factory.

    What are you looking for? I look for used guns so I start with Green Mountain at 285/Wadsworth, then west go to Ark at 285/Kipling. You could always go up to Gunsport in Boulder - they have nice used guns.

    I wouldn't step foot in 5280 if it was the last gun store in town.

    The three I?d hit in no particular order are Bowers, Damage Factory, and Ark.

    Bowers and Damage Factory are maybe five minutes apart if traffic is heavy. Ark is maybe a half hour drive from either of them.
