Beverly hills guns and tactical operations evicted

[Dusty Stevens]

Just heard from russell, the owner of beverly hills guns, that his business has been evicted from his rodeo drive building. He offered concierge gun sales to the people that can afford to not let anybody find out they own guns. Tactical operations got the same eviction notice (same building). This is one of the top office buildings in beverly hills and they are the only 2 FFL holders in the city. This is devastating financially for a guy like this. He has a gofund me if youd like to help ease his burden.

Anyone that still thinks it’s safe to operate in that demographic of idiots needs to seek professional help and not a monetary hand out. They should‘ve packed up and “Left” a long time ago. Thats like giving the guy at the local intersection holding his sign begging for a handout all the while he knows he’s simply looking for people with a guilty conscious.
Some battles are a lost cause and you have to know when to walk away and try to win the war from a new location, they’ve had their signs on the wall for more than a little while.
Comifornia has been a hostile environment for firearms for a long time and I don’t think anyone’s winning a battle on Rodeo Drive where the freaks rule the lay of the land.

Youd be surprised at the business he does there. Hes behind enemy lines but hes providing a service to folks who would otherwise not have it. Theyre not going down to the typical gun shop down the road so they would do without. He was in the process of starting another similar service in tampa

 

[Kracken McGraw]

Yep, you have to admire someone wanting to provide that service in a non- gun friendly place like that. I’m sure it was very lucrative, but can you imagine what a lease on a building cost there!

He was in the same building with like wells fargo and the likes

I’ve never spoken to russel but hope they figure something out. I’ve spoken to Mike @tacops and really hope has a way to keep building rifles. Would be a huge loss

Hopefully he can pick up and move. Mike can move lots easier than russell. Im sure he likes to say made in beverly hills but he can build anywhere- i doubt he has any customers from that zip code like russell does. The whole deal sucks pretty bad

 

[Ledd Slinger]

I’m sorry to hear about this guy having to close his doors and wouldn’t wish that on anyone but a “ go fund me” page is pretty ridiculous in my opinion. He knew the risk of financial ruin he was taking doing business like that.

TacOps sells rifles all over the USA and likely the world. Not for cheap either.
And long wait times too. I understand they stay backlogged.
There are Beverly Hills gun people but would bet they don't have the guts to stand up and fight for these two guy's businesses. What a shame!

Unfortunately, the whole Cali-fornicator legislative system appears to be controlled by mostly Chit-Fer-Brains morons. Scratch their personal security systems and body guards and you can bet they'd be humming otta the other side of their collective mouths.
But knowing that ain't likely any time soon, it would appear that his best move, is TO MOVE. Talking PDQ here.

So you're saying Mike just has an office address in BH and the shop is elsewhere?
How does that make them "made in Beverly Hills"?

 

[hogpatrol]

It's a never ending war on guns that we've been fighting since Kennedy was assassinated. Hope they get another venue and keep their existing customers.

I didnt say that. Hes in the same building. Im not familiar with the building but its a very upscale building on rodeo drive with lots of other prominent businesses there. I dont know much about what mike has going, i just know he is one of 2 ffl holders in beverly hills that got asked to vacate

 

[STS]

"Evicted" or "asked to vacate?" There's a big difference. With the real estate market the way it is now, this whole thing may not be an attack on a FFL. It may simply be a land lord wanting to raise the rent.

 

[Minshooter]

Not that I expect the tiniest trace of sanity from anywhere in that State, but:
"One of the top office buildings in Beverly Hills" might have others bidding up the rent -a lot.
Hope that Russell will post his own words on this.

That whole area slid into the sewer after Jed Clampett moved out.

I've been to his building, but not in his suite. It's been a while since I was there, but I'm pretty sure he was on the 4th floor (if the floor number wrong ... I wouldn't be surprised. At that time, he wasn't on the ground floor).


ETA: I removed part of my comment. I couldn't find the post on Snipers Hide from a LONG time ago. I don't want to invertedly put words in his mouth when I can't find the data myself.

 

[CA_Shooter]

I used to live within a short drive of that area. It's become an absolute cesspool. Frankly, the sales tax shouldn't be going to that anti-gun city. There are more gun friendly surrounding areas he can move his shop to and those high profile or whatever customers can take a drive.

For years (maybe still) GA Precision and Badger were in the same building. All GAP rifles were built there but zero Badger goods were.

If this is where he builds rifles & his bottom metal (pic 4):

Gunsmithing - TacOps and Mike R (photos)

Mike R and TacOps are at it again crafting true works of art. TacOps has decided to manufacture his own Bottom Metal for the Remington 700. It will pretty much have the same footprint as the factory bottom metal requiring only a tiny adjustment. It will be crafted out of 303 stainless. Here...

Then it's very likely not in the Beverly Hills high-rise. A roll top door and block wall in picture #4 are the clues.
