they had over 2000 mising firearms unreported and un accounted. that worries me alot and whats more worriesome is that it took the ATF this long to shut them down. now i managed and trained employees for sporting goods for 3 years never once did i have an unaccounted firearm and we had 200+ guns on hand at all times and 20-100 sales a day and i reviewed every 4473. never had one problem never had a bad audit but i am amazed at the things some places get away with.

They had at least 3 more racks like that on the floor and a wall of guns that went the length and width of the "showroom". That just covered the "Long guns". Pistols filled anther 30 feet of showcase. The basement held another thousand or so firearms. 200 guns? Big Deal! BTW, 100 gun sales per day? With only 200 in stock? You reviewed each and every 4473? How much time did you take reviewing each 4473, and did you personally check the ID's? If each form took only 5 minutes then those 100 gun sale days (8.3 hours) didn't even give you time to take a crap. Are you sure you didn't mean "per month"?

FWIW, I spent more with them on reloading components than I did on all the guns I bought there.

I'm confused. I thought they had already auctioned off all the firearms -- maybe last year or so? Is this a second auction on the gun shop stuff or is the "new" Kesselring's also going out of business? Considering the place has been a ghost town since they stopped selling firearms, it wouldn't surprise me if they were done done. That would still unfortunate, though. Kesselring's has been an institution around here.
