F-Bomb Ordnance, will take care of all your needs!
/end terrible joke
July 12, 2015
A western Wisconsin firearms retail store is drawing ire from some local residents because of its name.
About a dozen people spoke out against the signage for F-Bomb Ordnance during an unusually packed city council meeting earlier this month, St. Croix Falls Mayor Brian Blesi tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press

"The innuendo around it is enough that it really lowers the standards in this community," resident Amy Klein, who spoke out against the business's name at the meeting, said Friday. "I just think that we as a community need to hold ourselves to higher standards."
The city council will take up the issue again Monday.
F-Bomb Ordnance's owners say they're not trying to be inflammatory and that the business should be able to display its name and website — f-bomb.net — on the building.
Both Blesi and Gorres said they think the fact the store is selling firearms is a factor in the uproar.
"If the name of our business was F-bomb Records, I don't think that we'd be having this discussion," said Gorres, who is an emergency room physician.
