And then it was a Shotgun so I could go out hunting with my father. When we went hunting, we rarely fired at anything, but it was how he learned to go out in the woods and enjoy the woods, so I wanted to go out with him and enjoy the woods with him. After he died I ended up selling that shotgun for I had no use for it.

My point was the gun store is no more dangerous then other stores in that location. Just because it sell weapons, does not make it an evil place. You will have more conflicts (including fights) if a bar is in that location then a gun store. Thus the issue is how much worse does this make the area? and the answer is none.
