Ed asked earlier why these small shops are all going out and I'm not close-enough to it to say, other than to relay what I've heard which is that Colorado has essentially instituted their own FFL system (that parallels the Feds), with significant licensing fees and even stricter regulatory requirements about gun and ammunition storage.
It has acted to increase operating costs (and liabilities!) to the point where it simply is no longer worth doing that type of business here.
