Castello Gun Shop

Best shop I have been to in a while. The owner, Joe is a fantastic story teller. Will definitely visit every time I go to San Jose

I've never bought anything here as of yet but I know the shop and I've seen the owner time and time again. I live right down the street and have for many years. Just by reading the reviews I can tell you straight up - it's simple. The man has his store, he has his business and he knows what he knows and stands by what he stands for. And there are certain things he knows from his experience and from watching the world that he just won't stand for. Simple as that.

You got a lot of kids out there with no integrity, no honor, no taste and are not trustworthy. I agree with the owner, there are guns that should not be legal to be bought and for many reasons. People need to know the dynamics.

Fact: Communist countries send insurgents here -sometimes whole families, many times whole gangs - in order to commit crimes - and sometimes horrible ones. Why would a military send troops over the water or air when they can send non-troops right across the border and have them arm themselves there?

This is exactly what's happening and this is many times exactly what hitmen spies and assassins do. It's not just throwaway-phones or throwaway guns out there.
Nowadays governments use throwaway people.
Gangs use throwaway people.
Twisted organizations like the Satanic cult use throwaway people.

If a man comes in and hardly speaks English and asks for an automatic assault rifle with hollow-tip bullets - in Willow Glen - I hope to God he turns them down or doesn't keep that in stock or there's laws against those types of guns being sold to the public.

Don't get me wrong I'm a firm believer in our right to bare arms and I am a firm believer that right now we should most definitely be armed - but not all of us should be given guns.

Discernment is needed. Some people out there cannot be trusted. The man or woman needs to have a good head on their shoulder and a good heart in their chest - and they should damn well know how to speak English, or come back once they've loved their neighbors enough to have learned.

If I get a gun, I'd get one of those classics. Why not. I would never want something designed for killing lots of people because I would never want to do such a thing. Says a lot about people who do want those kinds of guns. I'd rather have something like one of those revolvers with the wood-finished handles.
This is the West why in the hell don't we act like it right. Good for protection if I ever need it and besides, people act like these crazy new guns are new XBox 360s video game counsels. These aren't toys and I'm sure the owner can tell who acts like they'd only have an itchy trigger finger once they get the gun. A person shouldn't be "fiending" for an automatic assault rifle. That's a red flag. Get a revolver, and be humble with it and pray you never have to use it on anyone. If that ain't your mentality - then you shouldn't be given a gun.

Well I was told this man would be able to tell me more about my Black Powder Hawkins than Hawkins him self. I walked out 6hr maybe more with my Hawkins ready to go and a Pennsylvania long rifle and all the means to fare away. They dont make these type of me many more. Im proud to have the honor being able to talk to Jim and ask him questions that have be for 39 years waiting for the man who could tell me!

P.s Pattey Cline smaked this man. By god you met him and you"all no way.
Gentlemen to the core!

Great experience. Walked out with a new knife and some more knowledge. Stayed open past closing just so I could look around and ended up talking guns and knives with a good man.
