A change for Old Cannon
So, as of May 1st, I am amicably departing my full-time computer nerd job in order to pursue my FFL business in earnest, much to my spouse's trepidation. I doubt a storefront will be coming soon, but I will have longer hours and (maybe) some more awesome things in inventory. There's a chance I might fail at this financially, but I love the business I've made, and I love helping my customers (many of you!) find (and learn) things that help them be a happier shooter.
With this decision, I will also be at the NRA Annual Meeting. Feel free to stop me if you see me and say hi...I'm the 6'1", lumbering redhead with the goatee :) I will likely be ambling around with a wooden walking stick that's about as tall as I am, not so much for support, but to make myself a little more visible.

Thanks! I already saw that and will likely use it!Skiprr wrote:Check viewtopic.php?f=102&t=65634" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
I still can't figure out if I'm supposed to register or something. The NRA website isn't particularly...um...awesome.

No pre-registration now for the exhibit hall. If you don't already have your credentials, you'll have to stand in line at Entrance C or Entrance E to the George R. Brown Convention Center.OldCannon wrote:Thanks! I already saw that and will likely use it!Skiprr wrote:Check viewtopic.php?f=102&t=65634" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Hey Cannon, if I'm looking for a particular gun, can you find it? like the pink or lilac lc9?

Best of luck to you David! Remind me to bring the gun locks to you! Lol.
Hello. My name is Red and I used to carry a .45. Now I carry a 9mm and it's getting easier to admit every day.

There are definitely pink ones. I'll see what I can find from my dealer network.SewTexas wrote:Hey Cannon, if I'm looking for a particular gun, can you find it? like the pink or lilac lc9?

Re: A change for Old Cannon
Just remember the great thing about having your own business is that you can work any 60 hours of the week you want!
It's all a matter of luck, and the harder you work, the luckier you get.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
