A gun shop in Merchantville raises questions
Yes, stupid ones:
“I was completely startled when I saw a sign saying ‘firearms and ammunition,’ ” says DiSalvo, who has lived in the borough for 10 years and is the mother of two grown children. “I thought, ‘Why is there a gun store here?’ “
Because people like to exchange money for lawful products. And there’s a petition to stop more shops from opening.

I’m surprised that anyone who lives in Camden County would even think about living without personal firearms, considering the criminal paradise of Camden proper. Then again, it’s New Jersey.

It’s Legal. Sod Off.

Would almost be worth opening a gun parts store next door just to piss that cunt off a little more…

Residential area? The article says its beside some sort of mega fried chicken joint.

“DyAnne?” I think the spelling alone tells us what we need to know. Five’ll get you ten she also spells “woman” as “womyn.”

A gun store and large porn store opened in Springfield, VA. Guess which one generated hate mail to both newspapers and the store itself. Yup. Yup, porn is better than guns.

Stretch – In the same store? That’s one stop shopping right there!

What they need is a strip joint/bar/gun store/sweat shop…. A true multi pronged business..

Stretch,
Recently, or was that in the past and the opening of MVC?

two grown children. She looks about my sister’s age, so are these the kind of “grown children” who are no longer children at all but who the Brady’s count as such even though they are 25-something?

@DirtCrashr –
yep.
“She is the mother of two adult children. Her son, John Ryan, is an educator/entrepreneur and co-owner of “These Guys Tutoring” in central Pennsylvania, and her daughter Marja-Lewis Ryan[57] is the writer/producer/actor of the film, The Four-Faced Liar.[58]”
WTH is an ‘adult child’???

Merchantville is in the orbit of one of my old stomping grounds (grew up in Gloucester City, then lived just outside Cherry Hill during high school).
When the classroom stoners wanted a score, they would head to either Merchantville, Mount Ephriam, or Pennsauken. Yep…that there is some mighty fine examples of *quaint little NJ suburbia*…fine upstanding citizenry with the highest moral fortitude on the East Coast.

RWC,
Yes, that the store. MVC on Rolling Road. The year was ’bout 1987.
The gun store was over by the old Springfield Pharmacy. Are you old enough to remember that?

“I thought, ‘Why is there a gun store here?’ “
If it was a porn shop, she would not question it. If it was an abortion clinic, she would not question it. If it was a Gay and Lesbian shop, she would not question it. If it was a OWS gathering, she would not question it!
But a GUN SHOP! Oh, the horrors!

Actually, the end of the article mentioned the obscurity of the store itself. Maybe this raging busy body (nicest word I could think of) will actually promote the business.
“Hey DyAnne, I was looking for that store you’re all ‘up in arms’ about.?”
“Oh that evil gun shop? It is right around the corner! Make sure you tell everyone about the horrors of…Wait! Where are you going?!”
“I need to order a new shotgun for pheasant season, Thanks!”

We need more TV coverage of all shooting sports. Her question shows her ignorance. The MSM has convinced a large portion of Americans that gun ownership is a strange and fringe activity. Her response shows she has no idea why anyone would own a gun. Promotion of shooting sports is the great wingman to self defense.

“WTH is an ‘adult child’???”
Please see Occupy Wallstreet.

When I saw this article I was alarmed and completely startled by her hat. I thought who would wear such a hat, here in South Jersey? People like her forced out a tactical training center down the road from me. Some former military guys opened it up at the gun club and we had law enforcement from all over training there. Oh the horror of automatic weapons fire, oh the risk to the community. I would feel a lot safer if our police were highly trained with those weapons they now have as opposed to having wing it
