The old gunshop on Raymond road near shady lane

Years ago I went in there and hanging on the wall was a fancy figured left handed M1 garand stock with a thumbhole pistol grip. It had a tag of $100 and I didn't have $100 back then and figured, hey, it's not going anywhere. , I thought, how many left handed garand shooters are there in South Jackson?

Anyways about then the guy that owned it was murdered when the store was held up. Does anyone know if the inventory is still sitting in storage somewhere? I'm grasping straws but what the heck, it may still be around town.

sounds like you are talking about Discount Hunting and Fishing,they use to be on shady lane just off of raymond road.
they are out on lakeland drive almost to grant's ferry road now,been out there for some time now

I'm wrong,as I was typing the other post I remembered the place you are talking about,it was on raymond road just before you got to Discount Hunting and Fishing.
for the life of me I can't remember the name of the store

It had something to do with a target, bullseye or something like that. IIRC it was a USMC vet that ran it.

Larry with Discount around the corner was good people. I think lung cancer did him in.

The same as in Crechale's Restaurant on HWY 80?

i used to go there he was a nice guy, just goes to show you always need to be on your toes!

Yeah, it's sad to remember all that. I recall one of the family discussed it with Bill O'Reilly when he had his radio show.

I remember them, big 1911 fans. I bought 1,000 .223's there one time and they ask if I was with the milita! LOL
