RE: Sporting Goods Store ?
Tanner,
One pice of advice.Forget your love for guns and look at it strickly from a business point of view.Have you written a business plan to present to a bank for financing.You should contact the small business administration if you have no experience with this and they can help.Even if you dont need to borrow money to get started,a business plan will force you to look at all aspects of the idea.
I am all for as many gun stores as possibe but in a place like Leesville you may have to compete with FFL holders who will order out of their homes for cost plus 10% which you cant do and have a store.I have also found that firearms can be had at good prices around military bases so that is another consideration.
Good luck whatever you decide
