Here is the final word on “when you coming back?”
4487.
That’s how many transfer is old trooper gunsmith’s LLC accomplished during its 13 years as a federal fi****ms license. We were shut down two years ago today under the executive order from Joe Biden targeting what he said was “rogue gun dealers“. This what the current DOJ has said is was a “cruel unjust and unconstitutional policy“ Was set up to eliminate his many smaller dealers such as myself as possible. Ruining countless businesses, livelihoods and mental well-being along the way.
I know there’s a lot of people on my feed that supported the last Guy as president. And there’s also a lot of people that really really dislike the last guy.
Me? I have a reason to hate the other guy. His name was on the paperwork that terminated my business. The business is What I had always wanted to do. And that was taken from me to earn political points.
I know I can get my license back, but calmer heads prevailed on that front, because who’s to say the next administration will be gun friendly. And I know if I get my license back which I almost assuredly would, I would have a target on my back. So we will not be getting a new license Out of the home like we had the last one. I don’t want to put my family. I don’t wanna put my wife. I don’t wanna put my kids through that year of absolute federal induced hell that I went through.
We had a good run. We met a lot of people. We repaired a whole lot of family, heirlooms, and treasures and did some very creative things. I would say I clawed my way to “respected elder“ of this now, oversaturated field of wanting “Internet trained” “gunsmiths”.
For those of you that followed us along the way: thank you.
Now I have to figure out something to do with myself. I’m sure I’ll find something.
