A Family Gun Shop Devoted to the Second Amendment Opens in Bisbee

A feature from the BisbeeGuns.com archive describes the opening of a small family gun shop in the San Jose district of Bisbee. The shop was conceived as a place where a customer is met as a neighbor: with straight advice, attention to safety and respect for responsible firearm ownership.
