Why would someone pay you to learn something they can watch a youtube video on??? Seriously, I think you can learn to do anything on youtube.

The question is the same, why would people pay someone to teach them something they can read a book and learn. Its easier to learn when taught by a professional teacher. People pay others to perform tasks all the time that they can't do, don't have time for, aren't educated enough about the subject, or just plain too lazy to do themselves.

I used to work at a golf course and the rich guys would pay us $5 - $20 to wipe down their $1000 set of clubs pretty regularly. Around the holidays they'd sometimes tip $100 for 2 minutes of work. If gun country clubs were as common as golf country clubs then I could see it being worthwhile.

Unless associated with a high-end gun club, I don't see gun cleaning as a profitable business plan.

But getting affiliation with a private or high end range would involve you for fitting some of the little profit you will make. No business will let you run your business on their grounds and not want a cut...

As a business you must have a license though, I lend pistols to my Dad all the time to test, play with, try out, but he does not charge for testing...A while back TAM posted a thread about his son doing a great clean up job on the trigger of a 1911 and he offered his son's services to other forum members, but was quickly informed to charge for modification and take possession of a handgun that is not his would require an FFL.

Totally wrong!

One should elaborate on their assumption of "totally wrong"
