That’s how Ruger Firearms began.

William Ruger built firearms in his Brooklyn home then rode the subway to the last stop east to test them.

Teddy Roosevelt didn’t go that far. As a kid, he tested rifles near Union Square.

Now? Good luck getting a permit to carry a competition .22 locked in your trunk.
