Council Guns

Council Guns operates from a small-town location in Council, Idaho at 100 Michigan Ave. Owner Brian Goodwin runs the shop with a military and law enforcement family background that emphasizes service to the community and 2nd Amendment rights.

Council Guns stocks firearms, ammunition, and accessories. While their website doesn't list an exhaustive inventory, they note that "we offer way more than we can show here" and encourage customers to call or visit to see what's currently in stock. They carry multiple brand names across their product selection.

• •Firearms shipping: All firearms are shipped only to licensed FFLs. Customers must arrange their transfer with a local FFL dealer before ordering—Council Guns does not ship directly to residences.

• •Warranty: New firearms ship in original manufacturer's box with magazines, accessories, and applicable warranty. Warranty claims must go through the manufacturer, not Council Guns.

Brian Goodwin's background in military and law enforcement means the shop operates with a service-first mentality. As a small, local operation, they focus on customer relationships rather than big-box retail. They're active defenders of the 2nd Amendment and cater to Western Idaho's shooting community.
