Seminole pawn shop owner gives up on selling guns

A Bay area dealer is locking up his assault rifles for good.

One by one the guns are coming out of the cases and off the shelves inside Frank James’ pawn shop in Seminole.

“My conscience overrides the need to make money,” said Frank James, Loan Star Pawn Shop.

James will lose half of his business by taking firearms out of the Loan Star Pawn Shop, but he’s doing it for his 6-year-old daughter.

“My daughter at this point associates firearms with evil people because of what she sees on TV and what she sees in school,” said James.
