A hunting buddy of mine owns a jewelry shop downtown in a large city and he also has a Federal Firearms License. Guns are a very small percentage of his business and it's really a pain for him, but he stays in it because he likes firearms. The city has tried to get him out of the gun business - not because there's ever been a problem - they just don't want a gun shop in their city. He does not even stock ammunition to help prevent problems.

A couple years ago a couple guys came in and wanted him to sell them something, I can't remember the details but it wasn't legal and my friend refused. They got very mad and borderline hostile. My buddy stood firm and they left.

Later on he recognized one of them on TV, he was a local investigative reporter doing an undercover story on how easy it is for thugs to get guns illegally. My friend's shop was never mentioned.
