You know with the right people at the helm there is a huge opening for a disruptive service.
I really know little of all this but there is an ever broadening market for similar businesses cater to.
A pro gun “Shopify” clone I think could clean up. With gun businesses and others that just want to sell stuff and don’t care either way about guns.

Any entrepreneurs out there?

Just saw The Daily Shooter’s video on this. What a crock.

I had to do a lot of research into the companies I used with when I set up my gun shop.

There are a LOT of businesses that discriminate against gun businesses and owners. It is frustrating.

We have an announcement to make!

New Year…New Store.

To our customers:

Some may have heard how difficult it’s become for 2A companies to do business these days. As much as we’d love to say we’re immune, it’s hit us too.

Up to now, the online storefront of our business has been hosted by a company called Shopify, a company that made $673 million last year hosting stores from businesses like ours.
Why they made this move is anyone’s guess but we all know there is nothing illegal about any of us exercising our Constitutional rights as granted in the 2nd Amendment.
We are most certainly not zealots interested in supplying weapons to make the world even crazier. But rather, we are a small-business safely operating a legitimate and legal business.

Whether you choose to continue using a companies like Shopify is your decision, but we ask that you keep in mind the stance of companies like this before choosing to make them richer. Also, we ask that you stay aware of nonsense such as this in your own area. Try and stay informed on the issues, and make sure to get out and vote, both with your ballot and your dollars. It seems one of the ONLY ways to get someone’s attention these days is to exercise the power of your vote.

In the meantime, we are putting the finishing touches on our own site. We ask for your patience as we change over our online experience to better serve our customers now and into the future. Nothing’s changed with us, we still deliver great products and provide great values, we’re just having to move fast to keep things going and we certainly appreciate your continued business.

Sincerely,

The MSR Arms Family

So, here’s what to expect!

If you need us, we’re still here:

  • MSRarms.com will be down for maintenance for a few days.
  • If you have an outstanding order, please call or email us for tracking help.
  • If you need to place an order or check stock, please call or email us.

You can reach us at sales@msrarms.com or by calling 888-318-8540.

I guess these companies haven’t learned anything from Dick’s Sporting Goods. Let’s reduce that $673 million next year. Spread the word and boycott!
