So far, Gardiner is experiencing a worrisome start, according to Chester Evitt, the owner of Mama Bear's Armory, a local gunsmith and outdoor gear shop. Evitt said he has had only a handful of customers since January, forcing him to use his disability checks from his time as a combat veteran to pay the shop rent. Evitt said that he and his family voted for Trump, but if he could take his vote back now he would. I've been alive for 11 presidents and I haven't seen one that has been as destructive as this one," said Evitt. "These cuts are affecting our little town more than the 500-year flood."
