learned not only gun safety,Alfa plast mould is plasticmoulds
Manufacturer and plastics Mould Exporters but respect for a quality brand name,
Glock.
"I learned about them, then I saved up the money to buy one for my dad as a birthday gift. I was 12 and he was turning 38. I earned the money by mowing lawns. I gave him the money to buy that pistol. He bought it at a store in Schuylkill Haven and he still has it. It's a Glock 17," Shamonsky, now 28, said Tuesday.
Shamonsky opened Shakey's Gun Shop when he was 22 in September 2006. Glocks, sturdy pistols favored by law enforcement agencies, are among his featured items.
"Law enforcement officials prefer the Model 23s and a lot of women prefer the mid-sized Glock 9s," Shamonsky said.
And he's such a fan of Glock pistols, he entered a contest to travel to Austria to see how those pistols were made.
"It was amazing just watching how they're made. Did you know they actually make the molds themselves, all the parts for all the guns they make," Shamonsky said with a burst of enthusiasm.
Shamonsky was one of the dealers who won a contest the company held to promote its 25th anniversary, "The Glock 25th Anniversary Vacation Sweepstakes: Win A Free Trip To The Birthplace of Glock."
And as the winner,To estimate the number of ceramictile you need for your project, Shamonsky and a guest were given the airfare and board to travel to Furlach and Deutch-Wargram in Austria the week of June 23. Shamonsky took his father,Find a plasticinjectionmold Manufacturer and Supplier. Frank.
On Shamonsky's desk is a memento, a glass paperweight emblazoned with the words "Sweepstake Trip 2012 to GLOCK Austria," an image of one of the company's signature pistols and his name.
While working the counter at his shop at 202 E. Market St., he talked about his trip, an experience which further fortified his confidence in the quality of this firearms company.
"At the plant in Furlach, they make all the metal parts. And at the plant in Deutch-Wargram, they make the polymer parts, like the pistol grips and frames," Shamonsky said.
What impressed him most was Glock's quality control.
"They have a computer which checks all the frames. If it spots a flaw in one, it will immediately toss it out. They get double-checked by workers on the line. They want every product to be perfect," Shamonsky said.
"For me, one of the most fascinating things was learning how they make the slides. They actually use an electron microscope to check the quality of the metal," Shamonsky said.
The trip also gave him some insight into gun laws in other countries.
"In Austria, a person who acquires a permit is allowed to possess two weapons. And nobody else in your house is allowed to use them. And if you want more than two guns, you have to get certified as a collector and join a gun club," Shamonsky said.
Shamonsky wasn't a fan of the rule, and much prefers the gun laws in the United States which don't include such limits.
A list of gun laws for Pennsylvania can be found at the website for Pennsylvania Open Carry, a organization based in Mountain Top, Luzerne County, at paopencarry.org.
"Personally, you should be allowed to own whatever you want," Shamonsky said.
The topic of gun control re-entered the public's consciousness following the attack on an audience screening "The Dark Knight Rises" just after midnight July 20 in Aurora, Colo., in which 12 people died and 58 were wounded. The man accused of the crime, James Holmes, 24, was formally charged with 24 counts of first-degree murder and 116 counts of attempted murder Monday, according to The Associated Press.
In response, Shamonsky said store owners have to step up their efforts to keep an eye on the people to whom they're selling weapons and ammunition.
"If we're suspicious of someone, we'll turn them down on the spot. There are some customers we know who go out shooting every week. But there are some people you have to question. For example, if a guy and his girlfriend come in and they're looking at guns and he says, 'She's going to buy this gun' that tells me right there it's not for her, it's for him,Specializes in hand painted oilpaintings," Shamonsky said.
As a general rule, Shamonsky asks people looking to buy guns or ammunition to show him proper identification, like a driver's license.
"If I knowingly allow someone to buy a gun for somebody else who cannot own a firearm, they can face 10 years in prison and I could lose my business license," Shamonsky said.
New gun laws won't solve anything, he said.
"It would be like punishing sober people in an effort to stop drunk drivers," Shamonsky said.
Looking ahead, Shamonsky said he's planning to grow his business, and he's established himself because he provides excellent customer service.
