#Stop Gun Violence    #Mothers Against Murder    #Gun violence in America   

A business by the name of Shot Tec LLC recently moved into a retail space at the intersection of Bala & Montgomery Avenues. This business clearly sells and trains individuals on the use of firearms (including silencers, ammunition and assault rifles). Shot Tec’s website touts an assortment of assault rifles and handguns along with a link indicating that a prospective buyer can “shop now”.


The location in question is within a mile of numerous public, private and religious schools with very young, elementary and middle-school age children (among them the Goddard School, Cynwyd Elementry, Bala Cynwyd Middle School, and the French International School) in fact, during the school year- there is a bus stop and a crossing guard stationed meters from the entrance. The neighborhood is teaming with children- with a playground just down the street and a storefront overlooking the entrance to the Cynywd Heritage Trail.

We expect our elected representatives to protect and advocate for a safe, family friendly environment for our children, for our community and for our property value.

Shot Tec’s own description of the work that they do indicates that individuals that have just purchased a gun will be walking through our neighborhood (as seen from the excerpt below):
“The client fills out two forms (4473 and sometimes state equivalent form). Once the paperwork is completed and the background check is complete, the client/purchaser (who already did the "sale" online) can now legally take possession and be walked to their car”

This type has f activity is not inline with the type of businesses that the community expects to see zoned for residential areas, And it is particularly disturbing to see the potential for this type of business so close to our community schools.

Please add your name to indicate your agreement that our elected officials must take swift action to pull permits or do whatever legallynecessary to stop this business from operations within our community.
