In addition this web site basically will be a full time job for 10+ people when all is running well.  

If someone doesn't do something soon the "Local Gun Store" will be history!

2. Why should I be here?
Here is the math.  The average site is 10 pages.  A 'one in 4,000,000 chance' of being found unless you are selling something extremely exotic or rare.  

One hundred vendors & 10 classified ads each puts this site at 1100 pages.  That makes it the largest or real close to the largest gun friendly site on the Internet, very high competition to many corporation web sites and some small governments. It will be big enough to overcome the "Anti-Gun" or "Legality" sites by volume.  That just increased your web exposure by over 10,000 times because "key wording" is all over the map! and all for less than a $100 per year if you are fairly active here. 1000 vendors = 150,000 pages roughly. Get the idea?  

This is web exposure to all who are not currently on the Internet.  If you think a 25 year old opens the Yellow pages before going to Google you are badly mistaken.

3. Why not sell other advertising on the site like Google Ad Words or DoubleClick to make money?  
NOT for PROFIT. The mediocre subscription fees and classified ad fees should pay the bills. (Anyway I have had some form of advertisement filtering on my computer systems for years. Can't stand distractions! Why push them down your thoat?)

There may be vendor ad or sponsor rotation on some pages later and maybe never. If someone approaches today and wipes out the $5000 debt then maybe real soon. (smile it's funny).

4.  Do you want to be the next Ebay? 
NO.  Cheaper here!  Pro-Gun here... not pro-money!  (Also for a variation of that question: There are no plans to ever be a "gun auction site" either.  The software already exists and it could have been used already to built the regular Classified Ads section.)  

We wish all pro-gun sites luck and pray they don't get greedy!  If they are truly are "Pro-gun" they will have a link to this site.

5. Are you crazy?
For sure!  A computer geek with a gun who belongs to a sportman's club, an oxymoron for sure.
