Hall exhibits fierce dedication to the gun industry and advises other gun dealers to “understand how lucky you are to be involved. There is a great history in our sport that goes back to the founders of our country. There is great honor in it.” Hall reminds himself and customers of this with a sign bearing the words “Duty, Tradition, Heritage” that hangs in H&H’s lobby. “The ultimate deal is you have to be proud of what you’re doing — not proudarrogant, but proud that you’re a part of something special,” Hall said.
