Just reminiscing and wondered;

Are there any hardware, feed stores or other retail businesses that still sell guns?

I remember when Sears, Penney's , Monty Ward, hardware stores, OTASCO, Western Auto etc. used to sell guns.

Other than Atwood's I can't think of any that still do.

Any one know of such a store?

Thanks in advance.

Gebo's in Lubbock still stocks guns; in fact, in the last few years they've tripled the size of their inventory. They have a pretty good selection these days.

I remember seeing Smith & Wesson revolvers in the display case at the local drugstore and pharmacy back in the 60s. In my neck of the woods there is an Orscheln's that sells a few firearms and I've even seen Hodgdon powders on the shelf. There's a feed and supply outfit in Graham thar sells firearms. That's where I first saw the Sig P938...haven't been in Graham since we lost our Theockmorton lease five or six years ago.

I forgot all about Gibson's in Weatherford and Kerrville!

Both carry a pretty impressive selection.

Thanks for the responses.

Orschelins got bought out by TSC , a few of their stores that were already close to a TSC got bought by Baumguars. The one in Weatherford is in the process of transfering. Their FFL went through and they are selling guns again. I bet the ones that TSC got will stop selling guns unfortunately.

Talking about throckmorton made me remember, the feed store in archer city sells guns. They had quite a few for the size of the store.

They also have excellent (but not cheap or fast) gunsmiths.
