As much as FS and MFS should be attending the rally, keep in mind they have employees with families to keep on a payroll. A few extra of us show up we can more than fill in for their absence.
Also I consider selling guns to be a service to our cause, which they do EVERY day (except Sun and Mon of course).
MFS interview?
They should all post notices up, change their voicemail, and update their facebooks. They should also offer a 5% discount or something up to X price if proof of attendance (IE a selfie) is shown at checkout later this week. This is really for their own good too. Lets assume the 2500 number is right. Just yesterday these guys sold well over $1M in "assault rifles."

Please, stick together. Don't bash shop owners who cannot make it.

Guys, this isn't right to bash shop owners. Believe me, we are at least as angry as all of you. I closed my shop on Thursday for the first rally. I was there at 12:00, with 2 friends. We stayed there all day. I lost revenue. Unlike most shops, I'm in a rural area. I didn't raise my prices, and I didn't even sell out. I had stripped lowers and rifles that I got stuck with. This is devastating for me. I used my entire life savings to open up shop 1.5 years ago. Now, I face the prospect of losing everything. I cannot be there today. I would be if there was any way. Please, stick together. Don't bash shop owners who cannot make it.
I e been a member there for over a year and haven't gotten any emails I have to look into that.
Got the email that Pullman Arms is closed to attend the rally
Yeah I don't think that will be much of an issue to avoid that.The folks hating on MFS and FS should remember not to post IN next time they sponsor an NES giveaway.
You might not remember me , I stopped in your shop last Saturday with my gf and got some ammo for camping . Before I left your shop the Russian mag fed pump caught my eye . I'm co owner of New England armory and Have been fighting with the state so we can get our 07. You are right I did not mean for this thread to bash stores for not full closing and I'm sorry some took to bashing some of the stores . Any time I plan to go to my property for the week end , as long as you are open we will be stopping in . Wish you the best with your company .
I understand that I am scapegoating MFS but that is where I am right now. I'm more disappointed with FS. I bought 5 guns from them. I unscurbibed from their email today. No hate toward them or Carl. Again just where I'm at.
Good God give it a ****ing rest....They have there own battles to fight as well. Will any of you take off from work when they need you. Of course you wont you'll just piss about something else...You don't like it go to another gun shop and shut the **** up that also is your right. Please for the love of god close this thread it has run its course.

Hey asshat, your 1a rights protect you from the government infringing on your right of free speech. Last I checked this forum wasn't run by a government entity so you can take your bullshit argument and shove it up healey's ass.Yep. PLEASE, moderators, infringe on the 1A so that it doesn't irk those seeking to discuss infringement of 2A.
The other North shore store that will remain nameless usually has some a-hole comment on there web page.... the smug old a-hole is keeping his mouth shut.

when you pay the rent then you get to decide when to close
------
Westwood Gun Club sent out an email. I expect the club turnout to be strong. If you see a crowd of curmudgeons with cigars that's WGC come say hi.
Weston Shooters Club has not sent one out. I emailed them this morning to remind them.
For all those people tell Carl to close his shop. Shut the f up. You don't know what it takes to run a business, specially in this state. He has it worse then most business owner s he sells scary guns. If you guys think it suck to be gun owner in Ma. Try being a business owner. Property tax differ then residential, taxes regulation, self ignorant employees and customers. shit commercial plates cost you more to go through the tunnel. Give the guy s f breach he works hard provide a good service at great price , provides jobs for his employees and give to 2 a causes and others. Carl don't let ignorant people get you down
I've bought several guns from Carl. He makes MORE than enough money to close for a day AND pay his staff. No, I don't have access to his books, but does anybody seriously think he's eating bologna? Anyway, he can close and support our rights, like (most) everybody else is, or not. HIS choice. I can shop there again, or not. MY choice. Actions matter. Words matter.

We closed the entire day, we paid all of our employees for an 8hour day, even the guys that came who were not scheduled. Can we afford to do this, NO we cant but we did the best we could to show our support. Please don't bash other stores, big or small.
