An entertaining look into both sides of the glass counter in a gun store, CONFESSIONS OF AN EX-GUN <br>DEALER details the memoirs of Ludwig Sawicki who, in the 1980s owned one of the largest gun stores in the <br>United States. Here you will meet memorable characters such as Uncle Al, Bull Frog Bob, Adolph the eccentric <br>gunsmith, and Charlie of the blow-up doll fame. You will relive along with Ludwig and his friends the hunting trips <br>in search of big game and the safari trips to Africa. You will learn the inner workings of a Chicago gun store what <br>it takes to start one and how to keep it running the various guns that have passed over the counter and the <br>people who bought and sold them. Here are the fascinating details of a gun store that was not only a place of <br>business but also a "home away from home" for a number of interesting people-all of whom make for <br>entertaining read. You will come away with a truer understanding of the inner workings of an institution that does <br>not exist much anymore-the truly personal gun store, its proprietor, and its many patrons. As Ludwig says, <br>"Long story. Short...." <br>
