Does anyone know of why 'The Gun Shop' is closed down.

I stopped in there this past sunday, the posted hours said they were open, the door was unlocked and I entered. As soon as I walked in, two extremely rude and abrupt men questioned me on why I was there. DUH???????'I don't know. To buy cowboy boots?????(Stupid question right?)

I was told I should leave, which I did, and then called the Plainfield police to find out if the two jokers who spoke to me were robbing the store.

The police told me that heard rumors that the place was closing.

Is there anyone out there who can provide me with an intelligent reason on why this business is appearently closed, and who the two jerks with bad attitudes were?

I never saw either of those two men before, but I'll tell anyone, that they looked like very bad business.

If the same people are there that drove me out of that store, then I will not be doing any shopping there again!

Actually the police did tell me they had a very difficult previous owner and weren't surprised that he couldn't keep customers or the business going..

I stopped in one time for some .45acp and the guys seemed real nice. I think the ya-hoo who the 'Ex Customer' met couldn't have been a new owner if he was that rude. It was probably some high school kids hired to clean up the place.

I heard the Manager stole the place blind and they had no choice but to close. The plainfield police told me the same thing. I always enjoyed the place, they had very helpful employees like Gene @ Tim. I am sad to see them go now I have to go to Mega Sports. Ex Customer I guess if you caught the owners there maybe they were in a bad mood I know I would be if I had my stuff stolen.

I don't know who it was in the store. the door was open, no sign was posted that it was closed, and it was during regular business hours. The 'people' I ran into were total a-holes and I stand by that. They did ask what I had under my arm, and I ignored their question. I dealt with Noel there and I never had a problem. I actually called the police myself and thought the place might actually be in the process of being robbed,- thats how ignorant and rude the 'owners' were to me. I guess with owners like that, the place should be out of business. They should open a bakery and sell creme puff to their butties.
I'm always pissed off at shitty behavior!
