This is Worth Supporting

Money talks.

I spend a lot of cash every year on the Internet. I have a wide variety of places to shop. Sean of at his NC Gun Blog is keeping a list companies that will  not be selling firearms to State and local governments that could not also be sold to the residents of that State.I received an email this morning from Cheaper Than Dirt stating that they have also adopted this policy.

In a climate like this, where sales are booming, I like to support companies that put my Rights first.

From NC Gun Blog:

"Rue got the ball rolling with their announcement that they would not be selling firearms to State and local governments that could not also be sold to the residents of that State. With Olympic Arms refusing to sell anything at all to any government agency in New York, I think we have the makings of a large-scale boycott."

He’ll be using this page to keep track of the companies that announce similar bans, along with links to the press releases. Here is the list as of today:

• LaRue Tactical  2-8-13
• Olympic Arms 2-12-13
• Extreme Firepower Inc, LLC Date of policy unknown, reported 2-13-13
• Templar Custom 2-13-13
• York Arms 2-13-13
• Cheaper Than Dirt 2-15-13

If you would like Sean to add your company to this list please send him email at Sean@SeanSorrentino.com Use the subject line “New York Boycott”

Mossberg 930 SPX

I had occasion to try one of these recently and I loved it. The one I tried had an after market adjustable stock as well! It was a really sweet package. It was the bell of the ball for shooting skeet that day.

Mossberg 930 SPX

One of the best things about it was that it is made in the USA and has a street price of under $600 new, depending on the configuration.
