    Richard Lipsey founded Lipsey’s in 1983 and has been an influential business and community leader ever since, growing the company into the largest firearms distributor in the country. Here is a snippet of responses from his Capital Region 500 questionnaire:

    LESSON LEARNED THE HARD WAY

    Balancing work with pleasure. It took me 25 years to figure out I could take Saturdays off and the business would survive without me there.

    MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW

    I love my Saturday gin game.

    ‘IMPOSSIBLE’ IDEA I STILL BELIEVE IN

    We could finally develop the Mississippi riverfront into a true dynamic tourist attraction.

    HOPED-FOR LEGACY

    That I have had a positive and lasting impact, both civic and charitable wise, on the Greater Baton Rouge community.
