Blue Line

Blue Line LTD started in 1950 as Sam's Guns and Surplus on Youngstown's south side, founded by Daniel Farinelli's grandfather—a WWII Marine who later served 35 years with the Youngstown Police Department. After his passing in 1997, the business passed to Daniel's father and uncle, both career law enforcement (30 and 35 years respectively). Daniel took over in 2012, bringing his own experience as a full-time firefighter/EMT.

"We believe that no first responder should have to work without the proper tools."

They understand the first responder mindset. The owners didn't go into this business to "make mounds of money"—they took oaths to help others. That experience shapes how they source products and set prices.

They stock professional-grade brands used by Ohio law enforcement and know what works. Whether you need Ohio Sheriff-specific uniforms, customizable badges, or tactical belts that won't sag after 8-12 hours of duty, they have it in stock or can order it.
