I am trying to analyze the impact of a gun club. As part of their investment, they will be buying gun inventories. They have given me the list of items, and I am wondering if you could tell me what codes to use.My hunch is to use IMPLAN code 319. 1. Guns 2. Ammunition 3. Accessories for shop and rental (guns) 4. Guns for rental 5. Range Supplies They also have a big item: Investment and LLC. expenses. Thanks!

  • Hi Ali. Starting from the bottom of your question and working up. As for the Investment and LLC expenses; we assumed that capital investments would consist mainly of the building/structure the gun shop would operate. As well as the LLC expenses would largely be licenses and fees required to operate the gun shop. The sectoring codes we recommended are from the most current data year, 2013. This data year has increased sector sectors from 440 to 536. We recommend using a “Bill of Goods” approach to frame the analysis and not to roll everything up into Sector 319/395. You will gain a greater accuracy of results using a “Bill of Goods” approach. Guns and Guns manufacturing 259 Guns for rental (Gun Shops) – Sector 404 Guns (except sporting) merchant wholesalers--395 Ammunition, sporting, merchant wholesalers--395 Range Supplies (Shooting ranges-- 496) Accessories for shop and rental (guns)—395 Investment – assumes bricks and mortar/structure Maintenance and repair construction of nonresidential structures--62 LLC expenses--licenses and fees—State and Local Govt NonEduc Spending pattern Thanks!

  • Thanks, but I am using 2012 data and they don't match with the codes from 2013 data. For example 395 seems to be the code for Home healthcare; 404 is for promoters of performing arts etc. can you tell me the codes from 2012 data? Thanks!
