The new owners turned it into a video store, and rather than either tearing down the sign, or calling their new store "GUN Video", they rearranged the letters, and UNG Video was born.
I don't know when it was torn down, but it's now just an empty lot on the corner of Edmonton Trail and 12th Ave.
Sadly, Google Images has no results for it, if you search "ung video calgary", you get a lot of photos of Asian people, and one of Olli Jokinen.

Haha, my uncle was the one who did that. He opened a chain of video stores in Calgary called Gold Video, UNG was supposed to be one of them, but it was cheaper to just rearrange the gun sign.
