Upstate NY loves guns, despite Albany trying to ban them.  They had lots of "scary guns"...but the blaze started soon after closing, so I'm not sure it's suspicious.  My dad always was saying I need to stop by when I was up there, but never did.

Here's a writeup on the place just a few months ago...
