In this week’s article, I learned about the best toy store for adults. Whether a hobbyist, Gunsmith or gun nut, a Shot Show is a fantastic event to attend. The benefits include; learning about new weapons, lasers, getting advice from engravers, winning a giveaway pistol and even watching a gun-spinner. Every show has exhibitors in booths from companies such as; Armalite, Colt, Glock and Leupold. For a Gunsmith, it’s an opportunity to find interesting items or services for the shop. According to Buol (2015), Brownell’s, the acme supplier of our trade, didn’t have any new tools to announce but has created a new service called Edge. For a $49.95 annual membership, customers receive free standard-rate shipping and returns within the United States and US territories via USPS or ground and discounts on 2-day, overnight, haz-mat, and heavy weight charges. For a busy Gunsmith this service will automatically save money that can be used for additional tools. The Shot Show provides a window shopping experience for new and improved tools for the shop that will give you the upper edge in competition. Whether it’s an improved tool for; rifle and pistol actions, lathe work, bore inspection or …show more content…
protective coatings, the Gunsmith needs to choose a new tool based on a production needs assessment. The Gunsmiths production needs assessment needs to be accomplished both, before and after the Shot Show to assess what product will deliver a smoother, more precise higher yielding product that will maximize the shop’s profits.
A log needs to be created to determine who will give you a discount or money back if you mention their name and use their product in an article. Also, it is beneficial to have business cards and a photo album of your shop to get pointers for improvement. It’s important to choose tools that you will not only use, but can provide evidence of your repairs. The Smart Scope, can be used to inspect barrel problems and record the before and after repair video. This will aid in customer satisfaction and provide evidence of your work. It can be easily stored or
emailed. For any Gunsmith that chooses to machine tools, I would recommend the VERICUT simulation. This item will pay for itself, as it simulates without destroying any product. From beginning to end it will show and train the user on the machining process and save money. When selecting shop tools, one frequent service is a change of stock. The Shot Show, will allow you to see new and improved stocks that may be fitted, bedded and sold by your shop. In conclusion, I learned the importance of going to Shot Show’s, as it will give me an edge on my competitors. It provides information on new products, accessories and tools to make the shop better and efficient. References 1. Buol, J. M., Jr. (2015, March). American Gunsmith.

Bass Pro shop started as an 8-foot-long display area in the back of a liquor store in 1971 and has expanded into a Fortune 500 company that employs over 8,800 employees and has annual sales estimating somewhere around $1.25 billion today. The question at hand is: should Bass Pro Shops continue to expand, and if so at what rate should they? The primary problems they might face when expanding are as follows. Could expansion hurt their brand image and if so how? The Competition outside of Missouri is going to be much greater. They will not have the publicity and brand recognition as they do in Missouri. Does Bass Pro have the financial resources in order to open new stores, if not then what are some options they can exercise? Will Negative publicity threaten their brand image as they continue to grow? Is the cost of overhead going to be too high initially for Bass Pro to expand at a fast rate, if so then at what rate should they expand yearly? These are all problems Bass Pro is going to have to face in the future. Through research and extensive problem solving, they will be able to make an accurate decision on rather they should expand.

Businesses have to examine every part of their environment to possibly predict future outcomes and problems that the business may incur over time. There are two different types of environments to be considered, external and internal. Each of these types has several sub categories to be considered. With a business like Play It Again Sports (PIAS), they have to examine the changing environment, general environment, specific environment, and also making sense of the changing environments. PIAS will also have to examine the internal environment which is the organizational cultures. The internal environments are not as extensive as the external environments.

Executive summary of the event. In this business case, a shift from seasonal to monthly production of toys will change the seasonal cycle of Toys World's working capital needs and necessitate new bank credit arrangements.

One of the article I read, a elderly homeowner was defend himself when a suspect broke into his house and assaulted him, the homeowner shot the suspect in the arm, then the suspect ran off. The homeowner was lucky that he was safe, but was injured by the assault from the suspect. Police captured the suspect later on. Those kinds of things can happen to anyone of us, so we do need the weapon to protect ourselves. First, from having more guns, the gun sellers/manufactures can be a benefit because they are going to get more business. The gun manufactures have to make more guns for the public, the sellers gun have to order more guns from the gun manufacture. The gun sellers now have to sell his order to the public, the more guns they sell, the more money they will be making, and this eventually can help them to increase the growth of our economy. Second, the owners will be benefited from the position because they can feel stronger having that sense of security. Gun owner having that gun in their house, they can at least have a chance of fighting back against any home invaders. The gun owners can use the firearms in self-defense against criminals or any suspect. Third, gun enthusiast; a gun enthusiast is a person who likes collecting, shooting, learning and talking about guns. They can bring a positive image to the public about having more guns, and the good about having the right to bear arms. One of the well know gun enthusiast is Wayne LaPierre; he is the vice president and executive officer of the National Rifle Association. The famous quote from him was “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun”. Those people’s influence can increase the number of people to get the concealed permit about
The objective of this paper is to discuss the article: Gunsmithing AR-7 Rifles; American Gunsmith, By Gary Yee. I will cover my thoughts on this article, and briefly go over it. I believe there was a good amount of useful knowledge written in this article. I personally don’t like AR-7 rifles all that much, but knowing that a growing number of people are getting into the “survival” scene…I suppose it’s a good platform to get familiarized with.
The depiction of gun safety for children is a much needed in the home. According to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, over 1,600 kids were killed by guns alone and another 9,718 were injured by one. A high percentage of these deaths came from children playing with guns that were loaded while the parent was not present ("Gun Violence: Facts and Statistics | Violence Prevention Initiative"). Increasing crime rates in our society is influencing more citizens to go out and purchase a gun to protect their family and property. One-third of every home has a gun and just about every home has kids in them which make it very dangerous for the children. If you own a gun or not, it is very important that you talk to and teach your children about gun safety because most guns are not properly stored away or have a lock on the firearm. Often children learn about guns from their friends, cartoons, and other places and then they pretend to play with guns.
The feeling that a person gets when they hear the metallic “ping” on a target from over 200 yards away is irreplaceable. The laws set in place restricted people from owning sporting firearms that make some target shooting impossible or extremely difficult. Gun are also a large part of human history. Owning a gun gives insight into the time that it was made. Owning a modern firearm serves a testament to how far the weapons have advanced since the days of single shot muskets. Another value of gun ownership is the value of the gun. A typical gun is made so that with proper care it will be in full working order decades after its creation. Therefore, guns typically hold their monetary value or in less common cases they increase in value, making a firearm an investment that may payback in the
I love guns. My dad has many guns and when I lived back in Florida I would go to the gun range
On Sunday, October 16th, I went to a Special Ops Gun show in Hilliard. I chose this event because I know nothing about guns, and for the most part, I do not like them. So to say I am not part of the gun culture is an understatement; it’s a culture I am completely distanced from due to growing up in Ohio’s most metropolitan city. The people I saw at this event are the same type of people I see at Field and Stream when walking into the mall. Most of them appeared to be over 30, there was hardly any children, and the majority were white -with the occasional racial minority here and there.
Gun safety is a subject that has been a main topic in the past few years among many, especially within politics. It is something that has become a substantial topic in the past few years due to many shootings and accidents that have occurred with today’s youth. It is a topic that needs to be addressed.
