Carthage shooting sports

Heard they were bought out by Southern Variety in Biscoe.

Last time my friend and I were in there we were totally ignored by employees for the ten minutes or so we were there.

I haven’t been in there in years for the same reason, and I live in Carthage.
 
Yea Dennis has really let it run down the last several years. Used to be a fun place to hang out on a Saturday morning with a western on the tv
 
Never like to see a local small business close but my experiences with Carthage shooting sports make me wonder how they lasted so long.

Hard to make money as just a "hang out". Several years ago, a buddy of mine called or txt'd me saying CSS had a Sig 716 and I had been looking one. I was working from home then. Gave myself an hour to get there from Raleigh, left a hour before opening time. Got there, walked in the door. Said let me have that gun. Handed over the money and drove back to Raleigh. I think that store is the only place I ever saw a Stag Arms AR for sale. Maybe the only place I ever saw a Sig 716. If passing thu, I always stopped there. Bought a few guns there over the years. With the stats that NSSF is reporting, 57 million guns thru NICS in 57 months, I dont see how a gun shop that had inventory could not make money.
 
If southern variety bought them out, I'd expect a great local-ish store to return in it's place.
