- Don_Davis_(gun_retailer) abstract "Don Davis (April 10, 1933 – February 4, 2016) was an American gun retailer, the owner of Don's Guns and Galleries, a firearms retailer in Indianapolis, Indiana. He claimed to be the largest independent gun dealer in the United States, and his store has been called the largest public display of firearms in America.For a while, he operated multiple 24-hour stores in the Indianapolis area.On October 8, 1997, Davis' Greenwood, Indiana store was robbed, and an employee shot and killed. Soon after the incident, he closed all except for the Lafayette Road flagship store, which reduced its business hours. On September 17, 2012, a customer visiting the store to utilize its indoor shooting range intentionally shot a store employee twice. The employee immediately returned fire, killing his attacker.Davis was named among the top five dealers who sell guns to criminals by the U.S. Department of Justice, ranked at #4. He said that the problem is not with his selling the guns, which requires FBI screening, but with those who purchase them and privately resell them, which he describes as a major loophole in the gun control laws. Some area residents feel that Davis catered to a less-than-upstanding clientele, largely profiting from inflated prices for people that have been described as dubious.Davis was a vocal proponent of the Brady Bill, who went so far as to burn all of his military-style semiautomatic firearms on national television while the bill was being debated in Congress. He later called the bill largely ineffective, because of its wording, which does not ban guns by type or firing capacity, but rather by specific technical attributes.Davis was locally known for his late night television commercials. Indianapolis Magazine voted them as the worst Indianapolis-based commercials in 1984 and 1985. He traditionally ended them with his slogan, \"I don't want to make any money. I just love to sell guns, heh-heh-heh.\"Davis was interviewed by NPR's Michele Norris on All Things Considered to discuss the sunset of the Brady Bill. He had previously been interviewed by Paula Zahn on CNN's Paula Zahn Now. He died at an Indianapolis hospital on February 4, 2016, aged 82.".
