Do you remember the shop that used to be on University & Power? Anybody know the story on it? I heard the owner shot himself?

Yeah, he shot himself. There was a thread on the old AZS about it.

Just curious really. I drive by it every now and then and am reminded of it.

He committed suicide, it was not a clear cut reason, lots of different conflicting things going on at the time.

I was sad to see it go. That was one of the better gun shops in the area and brownie made it a fun place to hang out talking guns.
