Are there any good "pure" Gun Stores near Lake Hood, in Spenard, Alaska....??
ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

Speaking of gun stores, I was in Great Northern Guns a few months ago and was very disappointed with what the new owner has done with the shop. I worked there for nine years and shopped there for 53 years, but I'll not likely go back there. Looks and feels like an overstuffed Pawn Shop..........SAD.

Not so long ago there was one on Spenard Ave., don’t know if I would classify it as “good “ never stopped in there. Don’t even know if it is still open. I imagine more gun transactions occurred in the parking lots of PJs and Chilkoot Charlie’s than in any licensed dealers.

Many years ago there was a gunstore/pawn shop, on Spenard. I only went in there once and wasn't impressed but they did have some guns. Don't remember the name of the store, it was on the south side of the street as I recall.

I recall the use of the term "Spenard Divorce" when I lived there. Term is pretty self explanatory.

Protec was on the far side of Spenard near International back in the early 1990s. They sold a lot of tacticool stuff. There was an Army Navy Store on Spenard near PJs that had the best German and Swedish Military sweaters. Those suckers were the ultimate mid layer. It is sad to hear about GNGs.

I never saw a gun store on Spenard but there was a gun and pawn shop along C street I wanted to get into. Never made it. The wife wasn't interested. It was on C street not too far from Tudor Rd. Really nothing is too far from the airport or lake Hood. The town is not that big.
