Mine are all still closed for at least another 2 weeks.

Sucks for them with our lousy AG and governor. Me too a bit as I like finding junk to keep pass to friends or flip.

    Open, essential here in FL.

    Im not allowed in there. Something about nose prints on the glass, drooling, asking patrons to see their new purchases. And then there was that misunderstanding about how much ammo is in a case. Hey I thought it was two for Tuesday. Anyway ya, Im banned, so I really don't know :p

    Stores are open, ranges closed, even when in the same building.  
    Guess it is essential to purchase guns and ammunition, but not to shoot them.

    Guns stores and ranges still open here in the USA...

    My primary is open, but only letting in two at a time, so they have a line to get in.  I'll see them when this is all over.

    A side note about all this is there will likely be a huge influx  of old guns in the next year or two priced well.

    Just spent the morning at the range with a thermos of coffee and shooting. Sorry no report, just plinking and fun. All the gun stores are open and indoor ranges. Colorado is strange. I can go but a few ounces of pot roll to Wally World and be elbow to elbow with the unwashed masses. Go to a church? Nope, too dangerous. Support Main Street and buy something at a retail store, that doesn’t sell groceries or guns? Nope. But Lowe’s a a home Despot
    is open...... 
    Aim higher, or get a bigger gun.

    Same.  Our Governor called them essential at the very beginning

    I moved from Colorado to Texas nearly 3 years ago.  It's home for me.  There's certainly things about Colorado that I miss, such as fly fishing for trout in the Arkansas River and plenty of public land for hunting, but when all is said and done, there's no place like home.

    Our commie gov tried to close them, however he doesn't understand that PA is not Philly. They were open the next day because the PA supreme court judges "urged" him to. Meaning that if the lawsuit that had already been filed had run, they would have had to follow the PA constitution.
     "The Uniform Firearms Act (UFA) is a set of statutes in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that defines the limits of Section 21 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, the right to bear arms, which predates the United States Constitution and reads: "The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned."."
    So they opened and all the people who were not going to work started hanging out in the LGS's so they are now open for curbside.
    It's boring, and your lack of creativity knows no bounds.

    Been open here in ohio. Never shut down.

    Open except outdoor ranges. Go figure.

    Gun Ranges and Golf Courses should have stayed open. I Can't think of a place where social distancing is better. Also, this crap about shutting down churches because of this virus s bull cock. Why not have church in open spaces such as football stadiums requiring only masks, hygiene(Hand Sanitizer) and leaving a space or two between families. It was the commies who didn't want us going to church in the first place. There was really no excuse for shuttering churches.

    They can be open here but both of them are closed because the owners decided to.

    Gun stores and ranges are closed since mid March, and will probably stay as that for a long time. Quarantine seems to be enforced at least until June and when (if) businesses are allowed to open with severe restrictions, they'll probably be among those with the lowest priority.

    Still you can get an ammo delivery from the military bazaar of local (FAME) production in .380, 9mm., .38 Special and .308, but it'll be LONG before we have the possibility of shooting in or nearby the city.

    Meanwhile, CCW or even transporting guns is banned while the emergency state lasts. If caught, you're subject to arrest, prosecution, impoundment of all your firearms, fines and probably lifelong banning and confiscation.

    Damn
    Was planning on asking if you were still on lockdown.  

    Read that Argentina is on lockdown until end of July

    Things here are beginning to open, but many are afraid it is too soon

    Argentina was already a mess. 50% of annual inflation and the same crooks that 5 years ago ransacked the country are back in power with their socialist mumbo-jumbo. Will probably become another Venezuela in a few years, although this pandemic seems to precipitate things for the worse. From what I've heard (I usually follow their news) they're not following the proper procedures and deaths will skyrocket pretty soon....so sad.

    Antonio that's harsh down there.
    Take care.

    Our shops were closed, ranges as well. My club is an outdoor range and no idea when they will open. Not gun shops are allowed to be open by appointment only. Our State shut down NICS, so even if you get an appointment it is about a week for approval.

    NICS is a phone and computer, no need to shut anything down.
    It is nothing but a political ploy
