I heard someone in a gun store mention that Classic Firearms went under. I drove by a few days after that and of course everything is gone. Anyone know when they closed up and why? The last time I was in there it looked pretty nasty and run down with not much of a selection. I am sure that was last year some time. I saw the owner John at the recent National Gun Day show with a table. I don't talk to those guys when I see them anymore as I found them to be less than honest even though they retained their arrogance. |

Classic had been on the decline for years A&M was due to one of the original owners son who took over the store taking the money from sold guns to feed his drug habit. He was using the consignment money and not paying the owners of the guns. A shame because it still had a thriving business and I had bought several guns from them over the last 4years. |

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
