Now the LGS's have no guns or ammunition to sell. The employees will have to be put on furlough. Minimum staffing will be kept simply to keep the place open. Taxes, gas, electricity, water, maintenance and other overhead will still have to be paid.

If you truly own your own business, you should be well aware that the profits made during the good times have to carry you during the bad. The past couple of months have been like the holiday shopping season for gun store owners. During the holiday shopping season, most businesses do 1/4 to 1/3 of their total yearly business in one month.

As you take issue with LGS not selling merchandise for the same price that Walmart does, you apparently must price the goods or services you sell to the lowest common denominator in your market. To do otherwise would be hypocritical. I look forward to one day shopping at perfectcircle1*mart.

Remember that if you don't like the prices in one store you can always shop someplace else. That's the real beauty of a free market society.
