About Army Navy Gun & Boot

Army Navy Guns is the oldest and most respected gun dealer in Charlotte County. Army Navy Guns has been in business for over 14 years, originally named Army Navy Fashions. Our store has established an excellent reputation for its dedication to personal defense, duty, and recreation.

 

Since 2009, ANGB has made many improvements to the business. Immediately, we broadened our selection of firearms two-fold, now stocking nearly 400 guns.  ANGB started offering handgun safety courses in April 2010. Since then, our NRA Certified CCW Course has provided safe gun handling training to over 200 people, far more than any other local competitor.

Army Navy Guns offers the only regular weekly scheduled courses and private lessons anytime. We were the first local store to extend its hours (9-5 Mon-Tues, 9-7 Wed, 9-5 Thur – Sat). Since 2010, several new copycat stores have opened, some other competitors have closed.

By mid-2011, we realized Army Navy Guns had outgrown its current facility. We bought the old Salvation Army Retail Center, 2735 Tamiami Trail, Port Charlotte, FL 33952 in August 2011. This new store location provides 4800 sq ft (over three times bigger than the old store). We hired a nationally respected design firm from Houston, TX to maximize its potential. During October 2011 we will move into this state of art facility. This move allowed us to provide a wider selection of items, the best customer experience in an ultra-modern spacious atmosphere, 14+ private parking spaces, and we spent thousands to make it one of the “greenest” stores in Port Charlotte.

Please stop by to check us out, we would love to show you how we made Army Navy Guns one of the nicest retail stores in our community. Whether our customers are looking for a lethal or non-lethal solution to their needs, we are ready to be your experts.

      What Clients Says

      Our customers love us, and for good reason! Don't just take our word for it though.

      • My father retired from the Marine Corps many years ago. As a marksman and avid hunter, it was hard to find him the perfect gift for his retirement. The folks at Army Navy Gun & Boot had a great selection of tools and equipment at prices I couldn't get anywhere else. Needless to say, dad was thrilled to see what my gift basket had in store.

        Patty Y.

      • I went to their store looking for a Sig Sauer because a friend of mine had one. The staff there helped me find the right gun that worked for me - and it wasn't the Sig. These are true professionals.

        Fred E

      • I'm new to firearms, and it showed when I arrived. The guys over at Army Navy Gun & Boot were great with me. They made me feel comfortable and worked hands on with me to get a good feel for what I was doing. Thanks guys!

      How to Choose a Handgun

      When choosing a handgun, choose one either for the home or for concealed carry.  Not many handguns will satisfy both requirements.

      HANDGUNS FOR HOME PROTECTION (AND TARGET SHOOTING):

      Should be a controllable size (big, but not too big for the hand) and be of somewhat “high-capacity”.Choose between a REVOLVER and a SEMI-AUTOMATIC.

      REVOLVERS FOR HOME PROTECTION:

      Ideal calibers are 38 Special (especially those capable of shooting “plus P” ammo) or .357 Magnum (which will shoot 38 Special (including “plus P”).

      SEMI-AUTOMATICS FOR HOME PROTECTION:

      Ideal calibers are 9MM, 40S&W, 45ACP in either a full size or a larger mid-size gun of high capacity (10 to 18 rounds).

      HANDGUNS FOR CONCEALED CARRY:

      Should be small and light weight but be powerful enough to do the job.  They should be “comforting”, not “comfortable”.  They will have a heavy recoil and not be a good target gun. Choose between a REVOLVER and a SEMI-AUTOMATIC.  Choose a method of concealment: pocket or purse carry, inside-waistband holster, belt or paddle holster, various hip pouches, etc….

      REVOLVERS FOR CONCEALED CARRY:

      Ideal calibers are 38 Special (especially those capable of shooting “plus P” ammo) or .357 Magnum (which will shoot 38 special including “plus P”.  They should have a 2 inch barrel and a 5 round capacity to minimize “cylinder bulge”.

      SEMI-AUTOMATICS FOR CONCEALED CARRY:

      Ideal calibers are 9MM, 40S&W, 45ACP, ( 380 is a borderline defense caliber) in a small, flat configuration with a short stock and preferably a single stack magazine.
