AR15 sales at Farmers Market

What's in your pipe?

 

You may want to start off slowly at first, kinda eeease into that marketplace.
Once the local "squirrelsapiens" have become accustomed to your less "threatening"goods, you can gradually start introducing some actual hardware.

Maybe consider just selling macramé AR15 cozies, knitted pistol cases, and tooled leather bandoliers. I'd locate next to the 70 year old lady Timothy Leary look-a-like selling fresh, locally grown, organic, non-GMO, extra large pecans...and wine bottle hookahs.
That way, when some aging hippy or lumberjack, skinny jeaned, man bunned, green, "paleo-man", gets all hyperventilated over seeing your wicker ammo boxes, you can simply smile and point to the next booth and say.....
..."Tell you what uuuh sir is it?, why don't you come back after you buy yourself some nuts!"
or,
..."Tell you what uuuh ma'am is it?,The cartel workers that defend our pot farms need nice things too, oh ya, and buy your boyfriend some nuts"

 

Ahh, the ol' turd in the punch bowl trick

 

I would actually attend and buy from your tent if you did that. I also back your thinking. Exposure of the sport and firearms community may at least inform some of the brainless parrots that usually attend those farmers markets.

At least they'd get a little learnin under their belt and also have to take a little dose of tolerance to boot.

Id say go for it, if you succeed in getting a tent expect my business.

 

Truthfully firearm related arts and crafts would actually be another business Id buy from. My backyard and house could use more firearm themed art to go along with the posters of beautiful women, actual firearms on the wall and soon to be homebuilt bar.

 

Go for it. We will probably see you on the news.

 

You wouldn't need to complete the sale at an FFL, you would have to be an FFL.

 

You could sell complete uppers and 80% lowers with a jig kit and LPK legally w/o a FFL. You'd need to manage to buy stock @ wholesale prices somehow so you could @ least make some profit... that way you could afford some armed security, eventually. (LOL)

 

Good luck. OR and WA can refuse to give you a spot at the market because they aren't discriminating against your race, sex or religion.

 

I, too, would definitely love to support your business if you put this into fruition (no pun intended ).

 

Seriously, are you f-ing high on drugs? Have you ever actually BEEN to a farmers market in Portland? Do you know the kind of people who frequent farmers markets in Portland? Provided you actually found one that would let you set up a tent, you'd likely be spat at and called names like, "baby killer" or something.

That is without question one of THE worst ideas I've ever heard.

 

Picture a booth at a gun show asking for donations to the Hilary for 2016 campaign.
How do you think that idea would go over.

 

Honestly, I think this may be a great idea- what with the current hipster trend towards outdoors pursuits. I've been seeing more and more dudes wearing raw denim shirt jackets driving restored Volkswagen syncros (complete with custom plywood interiors) around the woods lately, and I bet you anything they will soon be adding firearms to their collection of outdoors lifestyle accessories. I think you may be on to something here (just a few years ahead of your time though- wait a little bit for them to find the need to move on to the next trend!) especially if you carry hand tooled leather holsters/scabbards.. A la James dean gunleather.
Don't believe me when I say we'll soon be seeing an influx of ironic mustachios at our shooting spots? Check out this video- it's a harbinger of things to come..

Get on it before the hipster market is flooded with artisanal gun accessories and they move on to the next thing because revolvers are soooo 2016!

 

For some reason I had this weird mental picture of tie-dye-colored, floer-power-decorated hippie-fied AR's... and now I need to find my bucket of Mind Bleach.

 

Just had a great cross-over product idea...I'll be rich!!!





Awwww, crap !!! Someone beat me to it..........
