I visited the shop yesterday. The lady owner was very nice and friendly.
My only MAJOR complaint is their, "No Loaded Firearms" policy... I likely won't be going back to a self defense store that frowns upon concealed carry. I left my CCW in the car, against my better judgement. I loath shops that don't allow CCW. I understand not being allowed to take it out my holster, but telling people they can't have one at all is just hypocritical. And although they say, "No loaded" firearms, an unloaded gun is the same as no gun at all. They are well on their way to alienating the type of customers they are trying to attract IMHO.
Their selection of most prepper items was small.
Thing I would have bought if they had them:
- Compression sleeping bags
- Quality Hatchets/Cutlery
- Breaching tools
- Bivy Sacks/Small Tents
- Ceramic filters, for 5gal bucket setups
- MRE's
- Freeze Dried Food Stuffs
- Canteens/Water Storage containers
- Military surplus ammo cans/fuel cans
- Military surplus tarps/canopy shades/parachutes
- Camp Shovels
- More fire starting options... (hell you can sell steel wool and 9v batteries in a kit)
- Technolgy solutions such as solar pannel battery and small device chargers
All in all the shop has potential... Not that I need one, but I didn't even see pre-configured survival packages or pre-built BOBs.
Again, I probably won't shop there again unless they change their policies concerning CCW. I think if they get more inventory diversity and more inventory that prepers would want, I think it could become a great shop.

I feel like an idiot, that store is less than 5 minutes from my house and will go check it out! I ignore that shopping center, not much in there
Come out to the next one. I hear it is incredibly informational.I've been there once but I need to get to a class sometime.
Looks good. Got weekends off now so should be able to hit more classes. Will be good to see Walt and others again.
