    I make really good money at my regular job, but Id like to work for myself in the future and firearms have been my passion my whole life.
    You know how to make a million dollars in the gun business????? Start with 2 million! A small operation needs to find a niche that no one else has to make any money. The gun business is tough until you get to the point that you have a good size business. Don't forget about the costs of the licensing, permits, INSURANCE, and initial stocking. That's where if you can find something that no one else is doing in your area, that is wanted by a lot of people, that's the best way to start.

    Ah, yes, those are the people who make the real money. They rent a big space, sell "tables" and even charge the punters for entry.

    Design something, patent it, and sell the rights to make it.
