From what I saw, he is trying to make it into a great shop by following good business practices. Invest what you can when you can and GROW your business and you will prosper. I can almost see a couple of chairs, table and coffeepot over in the corner for people to come in and sit for a spell.
I was treated well by a man who was busy and I'm not a LEO. I wish him luck in the future and will return when I can.

I can't change the neighborhood and I understand people that feel it is a bad neighborhood. The Garfield Park neighborhood is actually not that bad. As a cop I used to work in that neighborhood. It is not Geist or Fishers but it is as good a neighborhood as most Indy gun shops. It is Indy. In fact it is so great (affordable) that we now have 3 gun shops in a few blocks of each other since I moved in.
As for the Stock, we have 2 problems. One is that I can't just pick up the phone and order stuff these days. The second is that I have about 100K wrapped up in this range that I thought would be done but the State sat on my plans for 7 months before approving them. All I can say is When I am done I hope to have a working pistol range and a good looking store full of guns.
When we are done I will also have a table with a couple chairs and coffeepot up front by the TV for the local cops and people to stop in.
For those that feel I treat them different if they are Law Enforcement. I will admit that if I know someone I treat him or her different. However I have never looked down on people because they are not Law Enforcement. Since the beginning most of my business other then Department contracts has been the civilian market.
For some others
I will say that if you come in my store and tell me what I need, (you need to carry this, you need to do this, you need more of these) I will take note of what you are asking for but if you are the only one I doubt that I will carry that. I can always special order it.
If you are having a gun transferred to you through us. Great, we do that for a lot of people. However, if you have it sent USPS know that many times they fail to notify us that it is at the Post Office, Fed Ex just loses stuff, UPS is the best. When you call and ask where your gun is the first thing I will ask you is do you have a tracking number? If you don't have a tracking number I can't find it if it has not arrived. Please also understand that we have a set of rules for what should be in the box of a transferred gun. If they fail to tell us who it is for it may take us a day to go through all the transfer forms to figure out who it is for. I had one in back for a year that we could not figure out who it was for. Finally the auction house told me it was supposed to go somewhere else. To finalize transfers, I know you are excited to get your new gun but can't make it arrive. I do want you to call and check on it but we need the tracking number too. DON'T SHIP A GUN WITH OUT A TRACKING NUMBER.
I would like to thank everyone that has supported my business and hope that you will continue to do so.
PS. if you come in with an attitude I will give you one back. That is the perk of being the owner.
