Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has become something of a focus for a lot of people’s rage. Her efforts to push her authority during this COVID-19 crisis has sparked outrage all throughout the nation. To be fair, she’s gone way too far, even if you’re concerned about the spread of the disease. Barring stores from selling certain products is beyond ridiculous.
However, Whitmer, who is most definitely an anti-gun politician, probably isn’t going to be thrilled to learn that there’s one more gun store in Michigan because of her. “Flashpoint Firearms has been a wonderful journey, an experience me, especially being a woman owning this business,” Flashpoint Firearms owner Lisa Mayo said.
Mayo said that to her knowledge, she’s one of the only female gun retailers in the area. She said she’s always had a passion for personal protection. “Always loved guns, always enjoyed it,” Mayo said.
Because the gun shows Mayo normally sells at are canceled for the time being, she decided to open up her first storefront off of Alpine in Comstock Park.
In other words, because Mayo couldn’t attend the gun shows she normally sold at, she opened up a storefront so she could stay in business. In short, she’s opened a store because of Whitmer.
You see, gun stores are considered essential businesses in Michigan, though I suspect Whitmer would love to list them as anything else. Still, she didn’t. That means if Mayo wants to sell guns, she needed to open a store.
