Trojan Arms and Gunsmithing

05/29/2019

Have my gun store friends found a new spot to shop, yet? If not, Goshen Guns in Edwardsville is a store to check out. The owner, Terry Bast, has over 300 fi****ms in stock. And, what he doesn't have, he can most likely order it for you.

I was working there a couple of days a week, and I really enjoyed seeing so many of you. At this time, however, my back has decided to make retirement official, and I am unable to work at Goshen Guns. I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon at Barnes on July 3. It's going to be a long summer!

On a different note, I sold the building to Doug's daughter, Christy. She is an artist extraordinaire, and she will turn the gun store into an art studio. Stay tuned and check out her site, Paint with Christy. It will give you a better idea of what is to come.

My email address is [email protected] if you would like to drop me a line. Would enjoy hearing from you. Take care!

Awww, the Trojan Arms roof sign came down today. It already seems odd to drive on Market Street without seeing the sign. My memories are fond ones, and thanks to so many of you who supported us for seven years.

Doug's desk is still for sale. It has the desk, return, and hutch, and two rolling file cabinets that can tuck underneath the desk if desired. $200 or best offer. It needs a good home. Paperwork and mess not included.

The desk is 59" wide at the front and at the hutch. It is 104" front to back and 72" tall.

I'm so excited to announce that Brandon (aka Big Daddy Brown) is starting a new job on Monday. Yay! His new gig will be with SCI Engineering as a field technician. As many of you already know, he is also attending McKendree University and has completed three courses since January.

BTW, I want to publicly praise and thank Brandon for sticking by my side through this last year and a half. It has not been an easy transition, and Brandon took good care of his second "mom." Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Got candy and a Sig Sauer P365? Yep, the boss lady's candy jar has found its way to Goshen Guns. Plus, there is a P365 in the case. Once it's gone, it will probably be six months before he gets another one. For some reason, these bad babies are still hard to get. Would enjoy seeing you tomorrow or Friday. I hope you enjoy this sunny, warmer day.

If the wind doesn't get you tomorrow, come on by Goshen Guns on Friday when I will be there. Terry's store is one of a kind in this area. As I have mentioned before, there are over 300 fi****ms in stock. BTW, if you know anyone who would like to buy Doug's desk/credenza or the display cases, please let me know. Thanks.

Wondering what to do with your tax return or that quarterly bonus? Hmmm, why not come see me today or tomorrow at Goshen Guns? With over 300 fi****ms on display, there's surely something you can't live without. Or, just come in to browse and say hello. I need my gun store friend fix!

Hi to my Trojan Arms friends. Hard to believe almost two months have gone by since we closed. I miss you so much that I hope to see you again at Goshen Guns in Edwardsville. I start training tomorrow and will be there from 11 until 4. Beginning in early March, I plan to work a couple days a week. No set schedule at this time. If you have not already checked out the place, now is the time to do so. Pam

Whew! Only two more days before our official closing. It's starting to sink in that I won't see my gun store family after Friday. Sad to say the least. I truly wish I could personally thank each and everyone of you for your business and support during these last seven years.

Well, with that in mind, Brandon and I are inviting you to join us Friday night starting at 5:30 at Time Out Bar & Grill across the street from the store. Let's ring out the old year together. Appetizers will be provided.

BTW, during the next two days, accessories are 40% off. Only 22 fi****ms in inventory and 19 of them are on consignment, which means no tax.

As Brandon and I start new chapters, we wish all our FB and gun store friends a healthy and happy 2019.
