Gun enthusiasts from all over Florida know the name Harry Beckwith. For many it may be because they have read Massad Ayoob’s detailed account of the numerous times Harry engaged is firefights to defend his gun shop from burglars (see link below) any for others it may be from stopping to look around in his store while passing through the small town of Micanopy Florida on Hwy 441. It is with a deep sadness that I have to use the past tense from now on when talking about this truly great man. Early this mourning Harry passed away. As a regular at his gun store’s social table I had the opportunity to talk and laugh with Harry and the other fellows. Harry not only had a level of gun knowledge that completely amazed me, he also had a very friendly charm about him. He was definitely someone that could put a smile on the grumpiest of faces. Believe me when I say that he is a man that I will always admire and have the deepest respect for. Harry my friend, I will truly miss you.
