July 2016 Innovative Retail Technologies
Multifunctional POS and tight inventory controls power the gun lover’s destination store Thunderbird Firearms Academy.
Firearms retailers are enjoying banner sales. Since May of 2015, the NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) has marked new records set for the most background checks conducted in a day, month, and year. That’s an important barometer for gun sales, because those background checks are required each time an FFL (Federal Firearms License) dealer conducts a firearms transaction. April 2016 marked the 12th straight month of record sales for the industry, and despite — or perhaps fueled by — a politically charged national debate, gun sales show no sign of a slowdown.
