I worked behind the gun counter, in the Hunting/Camping/Fishing Department, at Hermann's Sporting Goods back in the early 1980s. They were a vibrant super store for every aspect of sports. They had regular sales on guns and gun related products, bricks of .22, etc.. Always packed. Shortly after I stopped working there, corporate made the decision to stop carrying guns and ammo. I checked back in about a year after that, and it was like a ghost town inside. Hardly a soul. About a year after that they closed their doors nationally.
