our values

Black Flag Armory is a new type of Firearm store. From our goals to the way we handle every aspect of business, we have made the choice to turn the traditional gun buying experience on its head. Because let’s face it, gun stores are long overdue for an update.

Education

Gun control has become a major issue in the United States. We believe that the best ways to reduce firearm-related crimes and accidents are education and training. The future of responsible firearm ownership is education.

Excellence In Service

We strive to provide you with the absolute best service you have ever experienced when buying a gun. No sales pressure and no pretentious attitude especially if you are new to firearms.

Transparency

We believe in the free exchange of information and ideas. That’s why we work to be as open as possible about every aspect of our business. We want to share what we know with you, not hoard knowledge and information from you.

Innovation

Remember when we said gun stores are long overdue for an update? We meant it. But not just retail stores, the firearm industry as a whole. That’s why we’ve made the choice to look at every aspect of our business in creative ways. To constantly innovate and improve for our clients.

OUr STORY SO FAR

Like many good origin stories, ours is filled with friendship, lofty dreams, and a catalyst of dissatisfaction. But that might be a bit dramatic for an About Us page on a website. So how did we get started? In 2015 John and Eric walked into a gun shop in Medford OR and 30 minutes later, after being ignored by the owner, we walked out and decided that it was time for a better way of treating people. A few months later, with a couple of personal firearms, a whole lot of paperwork, and a tiny upstairs office we launched Black Flag Armory.

With our focus on meeting the needs of our clients and providing the best service possible, we struggled through a lack of inventory and no retail space to turn our passion for firearms and education into a tiny business that was growing fast.

In the past five years, we’ve had the amazing pleasure of moving into a retail space, outgrowing that space and moving into our second retail location, growing our inventory, and even had the opportunity to create a few local jobs here in Medford. This January, we’ve expanded the Black Flag family again with John opening up Black Flag Armory Grants Pass, in Grants Pass Oregon, bringing a new store, and new jobs to the Rogue Valley. All this bringing Black Flag Armory to more than twenty-times its original size.

With our focus on education, training, and exceptional service we hope to continue to grow our inventory, expand our services, and bring you the best experience you have ever have at a gun shop.
