AGO exists to remove the intimidation from buying a first firearm by providing complete kits, education, training, and a guided experience, not just selling firearms.
The experience should feel more like:
buying an iPhone
ordering a car online
purchasing a complete starter kit
—not entering a tactical gun store.
