Afterword – Honor Ammo Shop Scam
Is Honor Ammo Shop a scam? It definitely appears to be a scam. There is no Colorado business registration for Honor Ammo Shop or Honorammoshop. The “F” rating and 1-star BBB customer rating say it all.
The mere fact, the website is utilizing the Gunsmith address is extremely risky. Google Maps does not connect the address to a gun shop or gun range under a different name than Gunsmoke Inc.
The BBB filing provides the address of an office space in San Francisco, California, which is most likely a front to avoid detection.
