Good information guys this is why I turned to you all because you have been there done that or are doing it. Gives me Ideas and other things to look at. The reason I want to own my own is 1. I like firearms and gear. 2. I am tired of fulfilling someone else's dream living working my ass off. I would like to put my energy into something of my own. 3. I would like to build something up from the ground up and pass it on to my son one day.

No, Location would not be in Ashville because the traffic would not be good enough to support a business like this as stated by willdo22. I do hope Line of Fire does well, I tried to get a job there when he was first building sent my resume never heard anything back.

my idea is FFL/tactical store but I would like to be more involved in what I like to do like Fish, hunt, firearms, knifes, other tactical gear. So I would focus on firearms and tactical but also carry some hunting gear that moves fast during season and after seasons. I would also like to sell local made stuff like what skullworks does with his shirts and knifes.
