Stores that no longer sell firearms.

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.

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

Used to be one of my favorite stores but it looks like they're gone forever.

"Service Merchandise is an online retailer and former retailer chain of catalog showroom stores carrying fine jewelry, toys, sporting goods, and electronics that existed for 68 years (from 1934 to 2002)."
