Full description and what we offer
G.I. Loan Shop started as a pawn operation and evolved into a full firearms destination. Darlo Beazley, the owner, attended gunsmithing school before buying the shop—turning a family interest in firearms into a legitimate business with gunsmith capabilities on-site.
This is genuinely a family operation. Darlo's father Joy was the firearms enthusiast who sparked the idea. His mother Marietta stays active in the business. Son Jon teaches the concealed-carry classes. Daughter Jill works the counter. That's four generations of Beazleys running the place.
While firearms are the main focus, the pawn operation gives them access to used inventory that changes weekly—musical instruments, power tools, sporting goods, electronics, pre-owned jewelry. If you're into deals on used gear, inventory rotates constantly.

Darlo's gunsmithing background means they can actually fix firearms—not just sell them. That's rare in a pawn shop. The Hornady connection gives them reliable supply and deep product knowledge on ammo and reloading. And the family structure means consistency: same people, same values, same shop for over 40 years in Grand Island.
