A Heartfelt Farewell From Redstone Firearms
We hope this message finds you well. Today, we have some heartfelt news to share with you.
Over the last year, Redstone Firearms has faced numerous challenges. Unfortunately, the combined personal and professional battles have become too great for us to continue.
California's regulations have increased the cost of doing business and hindered our ability to provide the consulting, education, and training we value so much. The final blow came with a license renewal requirement and increased fees that we simply cannot meet. Over the past decade, our rent has skyrocketed by over 500%, and rising insurance costs and taxes have only added to our burden.
Our love for what we do remains, but our family's well-being must come first. The state's regulations have made it impossible for us to balance both our family and the operation of our gun store.
We have explored many options quietly, and now we are sharing this news with you. We will host a few final classes and sales, but Redstone Firearms will close its doors at the end of 2024. We invite you to come and say your final goodbyes over the next 90 days and remember the legacy we have built together in California.
If you would like to support Geneva and Jonathan during this transition, as its fairly costly donations can be made via PayPal or Zelle. [solicitation edited to avoid issues with mods]
We deeply appreciate your support and love.
Thank you for being a part of our journey.
Warm regards, Geneva and Jonathan Solomon
