A western Wisconsin firearms retail store is drawing ire from some local residents because of its name.

St. Croix Falls Mayor Brian Blesi tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press about a dozen people spoke out against the signage for F-Bomb Ordnance during an unusually packed city council meeting earlier this month. The residents thought the signage violates the nuisance ordinance.

F-Bomb Ordnance's owners say they're not trying to be inflammatory and that the business should be able to display its name and website -- f-bomb.net -- on the building.

Co-owner Dr. Geoff Gorres says he and the other owners have "the moral high ground." He says they won't change their name or their signage and they won't move.

The city council will take up the issue again Monday.
