    Dan has owned Maxon Shooter's Supplies since 2015, and came into the firearms industry after a 20+ year career in commodity futures trading. In his own words, he got into this business because “I saw Maxon as a great opportunity. I liked what was already being done, but thought I could make it even better.” He is also the founder, and first president, of the Illinois firearms dealer association FFL-IL. FFL-IL was founded in response to relentless attacks against Federal Firearm Licensees by anti-gun and anti-Second Amendment groups, and they are dedicated to preserving the gun rights of all lawful Illinois residents by ensuring gun stores and ranges are not regulated out of business.
