I would think the mind of which that could conjure up 'breast inspector' would need no such creative collaboration

Are you seriously going through with this or is this just an idea you have at the moment? I love guns too and thought it would be fun to have a gun shop or something like that because I hate my fucking job, but it sounds like a lot of hassle to go through everything to even get set up.

let me know how it goes if you are actually doing this and what it takes to get all set up.

I talked to 10 landlords. Here were the conversations.

First 9: What kind of business are you looking to open?
Me: Gun store
Landlord(s): ......

Last person: What kind of business are you looking to open?
Me: Gun store
Landlord: I'd like a supressor for my Glock 21, will you stock those?
Me: Yep.

From a marketing perspective, I think it's good to use something that underscores protection, the geographical location, or anything "tactical."

Like if you were in Texas, a gun shop named "Texas Defense" or "Texans' Protections" or "Big Tex Firearms" or "Texas Tactical" even, haha.

Although, I bought my last handgun from a place called Sportsman's Alley - it doesn't have to be a good name, just a good, clean store with helpful employees and good pricing.

Which state?

I'm gonna guess you'd want a name that appeases to crowds of all ages and something that isn't too wordy or they wouldn't know what it meant.
