The owner, Eric Thompson, could not be reached for comment.

[The Better Buisness Bureau] said it has been receiving complaints and inquiries at a rate of hundreds per week, from consumers in 43 states. Only three of those complainants are from Wisconsin, according to the bureau. The only kind of complaint the bureau identified involved people claiming they paid for guns that were never delivered.
