I'm curious whether all of the regulations on gun sellers would limit what payment options they're allowed to legally accept?  Don't know much about this topic.

As far as I know, it doesn't. Many credit card processors refuse to transact their online purchases, but not because of any law. Of course there are still laws pertaining to the sale, including a background check, FFL tranfers, etc.

They might want to change the color scheme a bit on those buttons on the side to give more contrast, it's very hard to read the white text over the large near-white parts of the background.

And moderators didn't like my "hire a contract killer" service....  Grin

But seriously....i'm not quite sure if getting a gun store to use Bitcoins will gain Bitcoin's reputation. That may be the wrong way.

I think getting any legitimate business to accept Bitcoins is the way to go. They're not the Silk Road and they're not going to break any laws for anyone.

The user Comboy had started this Bitcoin Groupon kind of thing a while ago (http://bitcoinity.org/wanted). One of my gun store clients seems like they're on the edge of accepting Bitcoins. Maybe if I could get some pledges it would convince them. So far, this is what they have for sale online: http://lrarmory.com/OnlineShop.html. However I'm sure if you wanted something gun related they could get it to you. But if you want to be able to buy straight from a gun store with Bitcoins, go to that Bitcoinity site and pledge a few dollars.
