Dunno the Bullet Trap but can imagine that owning a retail establishment and dealing with the Unwashed Masses first of all is no walk-in-the-park, but to do so with a business dealing with firearms (and we must all admit here that we are-or-can-be opinionated-and-difficult) has to be a challenge indeed.

Not to mention that there are "outsiders" (unhappy neighbors, legions of gun-grabbers) on one's case constantly.

Our local LGS has some extraordinarily nice people who own-and-operate it, and I wonder myself how they Stay so nice...

It's been said already, but it's their private business therefore they can do whatever they want. If anyone doesn't like it, they can take their business elsewhere.

I disagree with this, because first of all whether one has a CHL or not, there is no license required to "possess firearms in general". OTOH silencers or SBRs do require a special permit, are very easily identified by bystanders, and if any of those bystanders are LEOs they might be inclined depending on the circumstances to determine whether the owners have them legally. From the private business owners' perspective, it is well within their rights to try and limit "illegal activities" on their properties, so that they don't become known among LEOs as a place where the laws of the land are overlooked or ignored.
