Jack Puglisi has been fascinated with guns since he was a kid.

Once he became an adult he was able to turn that passion into a career.

"It was kind of a part time job that supplemented our family while I was going to school. As the acquiring of these guns expanded... pretty soon I had a basement full of them," says Jack.

Jack opened his first gun store in the 1970s and his popular passion been attracting people from across the nation ever since.

"We've had people that will come and fly into here for a week and stay sometimes with us and sometimes in the local hotels and they end up spending money in the restaurants," says Jack.

Not only do they sell guns at Puglisi's Gun Emporium but they also have a variety of collector's items including a pair of Elvis Presley's pants.

"We've gotten a lot of publicity for a lot of things over the years including the Czar of Russia's gun. But the thing that got us the most press is Elvis Presley's pants," says Jack.

Even though the economy is taking a down turn... Jack has found that guns have not lost their value at all.

"Those who are interested in guns are buying good quality guns as an investment today," says Jack.

Jack loves all his collector guns and he especially appreciates expanding his collection.

"We love to find guns with the high artwork and the history. It's kind of an everyday treasure hunt in a romantic business in a lot of ways," says Jack.

Jack Puglisi has been involved in the gun trade business for the last 50 years.

He was recently highlighted in Forbes magazine for having the Czar of Russia's gun.
