How Naples Gun Shop began

Naples Gun Shop was founded on a lifelong commitment to public service, firearms education, and responsible gun ownership.

Owner David Rich began his career in law enforcement and corrections in 1989, serving in Massachusetts before continuing his public safety career in Florida. In 2007, he transitioned to the private sector as a licensed Florida Private Investigator and later founded Investigative Tactics, a private investigations agency serving Southwest Florida and clients throughout the state.

Throughout his career, David has served as a Field Training Officer, FDLE Certified Instructor, court-qualified expert in surveillance and private investigations, and expert firearms instructor. His extensive experience in law enforcement, investigations, and firearms training laid the foundation for what would eventually become Naples Gun Shop.

What began as concealed carry and handgun safety training soon expanded as students and clients sought a trusted source for firearms, accessories, and personal protection products. From that demand, Naples Gun Shop was born.

Our team includes experienced professionals, many of whom are military and combat veterans, bringing real-world discipline, training, and service experience to every customer interaction.

Today, Naples Gun Shop combines decades of real-world law enforcement, military, investigative, training, and firearms experience with a commitment to exceptional customer service. Whether you're purchasing your first firearm, seeking professional training, or exploring personal protection options, our mission remains the same: providing honest advice, quality products, and professional instruction in a welcoming, no-pressure environment.

With more than 300 firearms in stock and access to over 9,000 firearms and 15,000 related products online, Naples Gun Shop is proud to serve Southwest Florida's firearms community with integrity, professionalism, and experience you can trust.
