yes, the Creekside gun shop was run by Doug Turnbull's father - Doug actually started his CC efforts in the store. The father closed the store (if I remember correctly) after a break in at the store, with some of the stolen handguns ending up in the nearby streets of Rochester.

I went by the old store site last week, the big faded wooden sign is barely readable.
