Stores that no longer sell firearms.

[th3w01f]

The Sears thread got me thinking about all the places that used to sell guns but no longer do.

I'm was born in 69' and my dad bought me my first .22 at Sears (At North Valley Mall if I remember correctly). I got my first Remington 1100 at Target in Boulder and another at Service Merchandise. I remember a gas station over off of about 74th and York that used to sell guns and gas.

Hell, I even managed to buy a nice 20ga SxS and an HK93 off of ebay before they stopped selling firearms.

There are probably quite a few people on here that never realized the types of places that used to sell guns.

Dicks sporting goods and sports authority used to sell pistols. Now they only sell long guns.

I do remember Kmart, didn't know about jcpenny or western auto. Now Wal-mart is the only place left to get wiper blades, some tires and a .308.

Just talked to a walmart employee in Parker yesterday while buying ammo. That store will for sure be selling rifles again after the store remodel. I don't think this will happen but he said walmart is trying to get the ability to sell pistols...maybe they see money in the gun selling world right now.

"Yellow Front", I was trying to remember the name of that one. My wife had never heard of them and we were over off of 72nd and HWY 2 and I was telling here about the store that used to be there where we bought sporting goods.

Sports Authority at Colorado Mills doesn't even have a hunting section anymore... I just don't give them my business any longer.

Service Merchandise used to have decent prices on the handful of guns they sold. I haven't seen one of those in years.
