About Mister Guns

Mister Guns, Dallas’ best gun shop, had humble beginnings.  Ro Carter started selling guns out of a spare bedroom in his home in Frisco in 2011.  The business quickly outgrew the home.  Late night customers and too many guns in the house for his family’s safety dictated that the guns be moved to a more secure place with regular hours. Because of great service, but even more importantly, great customers, in 2013, Ro, petrified, opened a gun shop in Plano at 15th and Independence.  That first year exceeded all expectations and set the tone for what was to become a Plano staple.

In the beginning, the gun selection was limited, but there was one overarching very simple philosophy that became the mantra of the store.  “Be nice to people”.  It’s so straightforward, but so rarely seen in gun stores.  Plano’s diversity is unbelievable and if one reads the online reviews, he can see that people of all types from all walks of life call this store home.  Plano has rallied around Mister Guns, welcomed the staff, and supported the business fervently.

The secret sauce in the store is the people. Mister Guns employs staff that are incredibly knowledgeable, but have the touch to make people feel at home.  Employees understand how so many gun stores treat customers poorly, make them feel stupid, or create an intimidating environment.  Mister Guns’ amazing personnel know how to impart their expertise without being patronizing, refusing to be the stuffy old gun store with grumpy old men. We became the well-known Plano gun store to our community by welcoming the new shooter, folks seeking a lot of information, and anyone else put off by the typical gun store paradigm.

Mister Guns has one of the best gun selections in all of the DFW Metroplex.  Whether a customer is looking for black rifles, hunting guns, shooting pistols, concealment handguns, cowboy revolvers, or any other sort of firearms, Mister Guns is the place with hundreds and hundreds of guns. Seriously, come see it.  We have more guns than almost anyone. Need AR-15 parts?  A person can build a whole rifle with our stock.  Looking for accessories, grips, magazines, or other pieces?  Mister Guns has thousands of items. Anything a shooter needs, Mister Guns has, and if not it can likely be ordered in almost overnight.  Last, our selection of used guns for sale can’t be beat. No matter what you’re looking for, we’re happy to be your Dallas gun trader.

Pricing.  It’s what is on everyone’s mind.  Mister Guns is aware that buyers have tons of choices when buying guns, including the internet. We decided long ago not to try to justify higher prices, but instead learn to compete. Part of the Mister Guns model has been to continuously evolve buying tactics and learn to keep pushing prices down.  Sometimes other people have Mister Guns beat, but it’s rare, and in most cases, Mister Guns can match or get so close that the customer won’t mind.

Mister Guns was founded by Ro Carter. Ro has a lifelong passion for guns and decades of shooting experience. He is a Texas DPS Licensed Concealed Handgun instructor and NRA pistol Instructor. Ro holds a BS in Computer Information Systems from Louisiana Tech University, an MBA and MS in Finance from Indiana University, and has deep interest in Investing and Finance.
