Recently a new gun store opened close to me in Kenosha, Wisconsin with the name Mission 94. I went there yesterday, it’s a brand new building with the latest equipment, no expense spared. Staff seemed friendly and did not badger me when I told them I was only looking. The guns I looked at seemed to priced on the high side. It has an indoor range, one at 25 yards and one at 50 yards. They had some interesting WWII guns on display such as a Thompson machine gun. The owner is Lt.Colonel (U.S. Army, Ret.) Jennifer Pritzker who is a cousin of our infamous Governor in Illinois. I do not know her political views but she has a share of the Pritzker money. For these two reasons I will not buy there. It is also rumored she built it in Wisconsin to avoid Illinois taxes.
Id also be hesitant of anybody with prizker name as owner. Also if prices are on the higher end, id just use my tried and true LGS and if need be, have them order what i want.
Id rather support a small shop trying to scratch out a living than someone who is already wealthy.
Yeppers that is my opinion as well.
Pritzker, eh. Probably has you filling out a 4473,4474,4475 and 4476
Yeah, I’d be skipping that place.
Id question why she went to WISCONSIN. Is she trying to bypass Ill laws to make money or not agree with them?
Either way, i wouldnt trust it.
If i seen Gretchen whitless family member start up a gunshop here in MI, i wouldnt even drive down that street. Someone that is antigun and suddenly a family member starts a gunshop…hmmmm
Warnings about bears are never never off topic
I’d contact the most conservative newspaper in the state, OAN and Fox News and ask why the governor’s sister is opening gun stores in another state geared to bypassing your state laws like mag capacity limitations and such. Seems like an investigative piece that just writes itself
I’m confused…
She’s the cousin of another state’s governor, do we know that she doesn’t live in Wisconsin? Or, alternately, that there isn’t another legitimate reason for the shop’s location? I have lots of cousins, none of whom reside in the same state as me, or even to each other.
I’m also uncertain as to how we established that she has access to her cousin’s wealth. An uncle of mine was (retired) the VP of a very large international company, I have no fruit from his labor.
Not saying that the store owner isn’t running a business in another state for questionable reason, I’m just unsure how we made that connection. Further, whether they have a share in the extended family’s wealth, or are otherwise well off, or not seems irrelevant. Why would the potential wealth of a business owner be an automatic shun?
I’m not trying to start a debate, just wondering. Other than the family connection and the possibility that they’re wealthy, it sounds like the shop and the the staff were positive.
She is a cousin, not a sister. I give her credit that she served our country, Perhaps she disagrees with her cousin and opened up the store to poke him in the eye. I will not spend money there until I find out more.
Sorry I thought my THREE ROFL emojis would have clearly indicated I was joking. I love when the press runs themselves ragged into a tizzy for no good reason at all. it would have been fun to see some of them hyperventilating. Needless to say my post was devoid of ANY research of thought at all, therefor: joke!!!
I think you all know when I’m serious, I guess not…
I agree. IF I’m about to pay a premium price for something, I’d like to be certain that my background check is solely with the NCIC and also doesn’t have a copy going to the ATF,
Could be the illinois pritzker cousin (who is one of the most gun hating govs there is) cut off our Lt. Col. given her apparent pro-gun stand???
@Joel106 Maybe cuz the taxes up here are a lot less and the red tape for buying a gun is also a lot less???
@Enzo_T OAN and Fox maybe… but if you can find a conservative paper in this state, you’re a lot better than me! To the best of my knowledge, we have none!
I hope thats the whole thing behind it. She could be pro gun.
I just dont trust the family name.
Doesn’t really affect me so …
@Fred30 Good for Lt. Colonel Jennifer Pritzker for opening a new gun store to serve the Wisconsin’s law-abiding American gun owners, and that lady is your ALL AMERICAN 2A LADY that served her Country and continues to serve that OATH!!! Be part of “MISSION 94” by supporting her business!

On September 17, 2024, Pritzker was awarded a Badge of Honor from the Ukrainian National Guard’s Presidential Brigade, in honor of her commitment to supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia. More than $5.4 million has been contributed through Pritzker’s personal efforts and grants provided by Tawani Foundation, with $1.3 million in cold weather gear for the Ukrainian National Guard, and $3.6 million toward Operation White Stork, a “no weapons” non-profit organization led by U.S. veterans to provide individual first aid kits and other medical needs in Ukraine.[14]
OH, my god! The more I read the more I want to throw up in my mouth…He/She!t
created Pritzker created the Tawani Foundation in 1995,[24] which “provides support in the areas of arts and culture, historical preservation, health and wellness, LGBTQ+ and human rights, education and environmental initiatives.”[15]
Her being trans does not bother me so long she does not support men in women’s sports-men/boys in women’s/girls washrooms-any affirming care(drugs, surgery) before 18 years old. She is pro 2nd amendment so if something is priced right in her store I will buy it, I have voted for political people that do not share all my views, I am sure some voted for Trump holding their nose. Opening a gun store she gave her cousin the middle finger with both hands.
Sorry Fred,
In 2016, Pritzker was presented the Bonham Centre Award from The Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies, University of Toronto, for her contributions to the advancement and education of issues around sexual identification.[19
Political causes
[edit]
Pritzker was a Republican[30] and major donor to candidates and organizations such as the National Rifle Association of America, John McCain, and Mitt Romney.[31][32] However, as of 2019, she was reevaluating her support, citing the Trump administration’s transgender military ban and other anti-LGBTQ policies: “When the GOP asks me to deliver six- or seven-figure contributions for the 2020 elections, my first response will be: why should I contribute to my own destruction?”[7][33]
In August 2020, Pritzker donated $2,000 to the presidential campaign of Joe Biden.[34]
In October 2020, Pritzker donated $100,000 to the Lincoln Project, led by Republican strategists, some of whom endorsed Joe Biden to prevent the re-election of Donald Trump.[35]
During the third quarter of 2020, Pritzker was recognized as a member of the Chairman’s Circle, signifying a $25,000 contribution to the Libertarian Party.[36]
In 2016, through her Foundation, Pritzker gave a $2 million donation to create the world’s first endowed academic chair of transgender studies, at the University of Victoria in British Columbia; Aaron Devor was chosen as the inaugural chair.[26]
