Black is beautiful. I stopped in Spurlock’s Gun Shop in Henderson, Nev., on Black Friday to find a crowd of customers besieging Rance and Pat Spurlock, the husband-wife owners. Black Friday is so named for the widespread belief that retailers only go from “being in the red” to becoming profitable on the Friday following Thanksgiving. Such is not the case at Spurlock’s Gun Shop, even though Black Friday was a huge day for the shop.

I just returned from having an inside look at a fascinating subculture within our law enforcement community. I attended Sniperfest 2011, an invitation-only two-day training event near Phoenix, Ariz., for SWAT snipers.

Don’t look now, but a brand-new 90-year-old gun company is reinventing itself. O.F. Mossberg & Sons has become a dynamo of innovation, far removed from the staid, stodgy pump-shotgun maker that you might have previously thought of the Connecticut-based manufacturer. Today’s Mossberg is not your great-grandfather’s Mossberg.

It’s about that time. Yes, it’s almost the first Saturday in November when the white-tailed deer season opens in Texas and, as a visit to McBride’s Gun Shop in Austin just validated, it’s gun-buying time. You see, the firearms business can be quite seasonal, like the ski business or the boat business. The only difference is that the pivotal season for the firearms business is not weather-related—it’s mostly geared around hunting.

Coming to you live from Latin Quarter of Paris, the Insider is here to check out the Milipol convention, a gathering of companies large and small who specialize in all things related to security. While FN Herstal is here with sniper rifles and Trijicon is displaying its new ACOG sight, firearms are a tiny fraction of the products shown to this semi-annual display of electronic wizardry.
