its not just the license that cost's money. Your store must also meet the requirements as far as security and the like as well as insurance for said store. So the license is only a small part of the operating cost. If it was easy to do there would be stores everywhere. Unlike the US, we (government) in Canada are not as quick to let someone open up a store that has anything to do with guns of any form. Especially with the anti gun liberals running around.
