I have a buddy that owns a gunstore/range and police supply business.
His store name is pretty lame, so I told him to come up with something better. If you had it to do, what would you name it? |
|
How about "Cascadia Arms Co.", or "Cascadia Arms Corp."?
BTW: In what city is his shop located? |
|
Guns 'R Us. You could even get a cute giraffe to be your mascot. Just kidding...z
|
|
the bunker
The firing point Lock n' Load..that would be a great laundry mat / gun range name The firing port blah blah blah |
|
FORT KNOX or maybe "FULL METAL JACKET." Oooh oohh, what about "Armagedon." Man, I've always wanted to do something meaningful like this.
|
|
Now that I'm looking at my post, those name sound lame. How about just calling it "BIG BRASS NUTZ?"
|
|
I still think the gunstore from The Simpsons has the best name ever: Blood Bath & Beyond
|
|
Just as long as he doesn't steal the proposed name of my future gun shop!
Crazy Whacko Bobs house of Assault Weapons |
|
Guns n Stuff
or "MyGodDamnedAttemptAtKeepingAtLeastOneAmendmentToTheConstitutionAvailableToThePublic- WhileFendingOffPoliticallyCorrectBastardsTryingToGetAheadAndMakeAMillionOffTheIngnorantMasses" One or the other... I prefer "Guns n Stuff". |
|
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! (Will they have free sample guns to try out in the store like the real BB&B?) |
|
|
Keep a rack of "men's" magazines for sale too, then you can call it
"Tits&Ammo" or "T&A" for short. |
|
Shoot and Supply (SAS for short)
2nd Lives or 2 of 10 (Reference to the 2nd amendment and a Star Trek reference) Ya, both suck. Shoot at 500 (yards of his range) |
|
Actually I really do like this name "I" just thought of !! |
|
|
Might get ahead of the politically correct crowd by using just "N Stuff." Then you can have that band "N Stuff" appear at new grand re-opening ! |
|
|
..that owns a gunstore, range and police.. "Buyem" "Shootem" "Bookem" I've got it "Buyem, SHOOTEM & Bookem, Inc." |
|
|
The Smoking Gun
The Powder Keg The Ten Ring The X Ring The Backstop Double Action Guns & Police Supply Shanghai Lil's (nothing to do with guns, it's just catchy) The Lawdog Walking Tall (I think Buford Pusser would shop there) Wadcutter's or The Wadcutter Spent Brass Spent Cases Down Range The Benchrest The Powder Burn |
|
There's a shop in Jersey City called:
"Caso's Gun-O-Rama" Then in Secaucas there's the "Bullet Hole" Hawaii has a "Wild West"... "ACME GUNS"? "The Wonderful World of Guns"? |
|
How about...
Bear Arms Kind of a play on "...keep and bear arms..." AND you get a nice Bear logo. |
|
"The Shooting Shack"
"Ban This" "2nd Ammendment supply depot" "The Happy Place" "Freedom Supply" Yeah, they all suck. |
|

"Guns guns and more guns"
"just guns" "freedom firearms" "peace keeper" "blasters" "powder keg" "armory" My favorite: "the happy place" by JTR |
|
We have a gun store here in Massachusetts with the name: Collectors Coin Gallery. Yes, its true. The reason being noone but a gun owner knows what it is. It is listed under guns in the yellow pages, however. So, in the interest of camoflage, how about "Civilian Power Tools".
|
|
Knew a dealer in Memphis, Tn., that named his gun store "East Park Hardware" - Sporting Hardware.
|
|
Ammo Etc.
Shooters Supply Hobbyist Tool Shoppe (fairly non-threatning) Guns...GUNS...GUNS! (more threatning) Arms 4 Sale Arms Supply Depot The Armory Bullets.. Yeah we got that. The Magazine The Bolt Release Downrange Muzzle Mad Man Bills Military Weapons The Kill Osama Shop Gun Depot That Is Not Your Daddy's Shotgun |
|
I'm partial to "Patriot Militia Supply," or PMS for short.
Speaking of short, (sorry LT), howza bout "Snubbie Magnum's Gun Emporium!" Gives new meaning to "is that a pistol in your pocket or are you happy..." Well, at least the name is long! Black Rifle's Roost??? The Rookery (ever heard of a rook rifle?) |
|
It's got to start with a higher letter in the alphabet so you come up in the phone book before the competition. That's why plumbers and electritians all have names like AAAAAA Plumbing
|
|
How about just
Gun Control, Inc. Us a picture of a target withthe center shot out as a logo. |
|
How about Osama's house of Taliwhakers. It will certainly get good advertising.
|
|
Ok, I think I'll pass on a few. Maybe it's time for a poll?!?
Here is the narrowed down list: "The Bullet Hole" "On Target Armory" "The X Ring" (this is one I already suggested) "Maximum Velocity Shooters Supply" (is this too much like "Hi-Vel"?) "Cascadia Arms" (or something with Cascadia) Northwest Armory is already in Portland. This shop is on the east side of the state. I also thought it would be funny to be able to have an acronym that was already in use, such at "ACLU" or even something a bit more scandalous like "NAACP". |
|
If his store is in the 'hood, he could call it:
Thug Guns Ghetto Guns Ghetto Blasters Gangsta Hardware, Inc. |
|
Got one of those in Portland as well. There's one a little further North in Chehalis as well, but you'd better ask Gunrunner1 about that |

|
You've narrowed it down, but I'm going to throw another one out there anyway....
"Hall of Freedom" As in, "I'm going over to the hall of freedom and pick up a new Bushmaster". Hey, all superheroes are welcome. |
|
how about somthing with a touch of the far east like
GUN ZEN or THE PEOPLES ARMORY perhaps somthing along covvience store/fast food lines like 19-11 or AMMO KING |
