In a small strip mall off Dimond, Alana and Lu Perullo are living proof of that old saying about opposites and attraction.
Alana owns Good Karma, a peace-loving store that dispenses incense, Buddha statues and psychic readings. Her husband, Lu, owns The Ammo Can, the gun shop next door. They've been together 12 years, married for six. They have two kids.
Alana's studied spirituality from Buddhism to mystical Christianity. She can't remember the last time she fired a gun. She's not registered with a political party but she leans left. She supports the troops but not the war.
"I support humanity. I do support global peace," she said. "I think it starts microcosmically and spirals out."
Lu's a conservative Republican. His spiritual philosophy: When you're dead, you're dead. Just bury him face down, he says, so everyone can kiss his you-know-what. And, he's got a simple answer for problems in the Middle East.
"I think we should turn it into one big glass parking lot," he said.
