An illegal gun store owner and father to be chases freedom from a world of violence he helped to create.

I appreciate the feedback. This is the latest version of it before I saw everyone's comments: "A sneaker store owner must choose between his profitable illegal gun business and his pregnant wife, a community organizer, amid the neighborhood he destroys."

I agree 'chases freedom' is a bit ethereal. Also 'father to be'. Do we need to to know that? Is it essential to the story? Is it the core ? What does he do? How does he fight the violence he has created? Does he take up arms? There's a lot of conflict in:

'An illegal gun store owner takes up arms to fight the violence he's helped to create.'

Good points, nicholasandrewhalls
