If we can get a couple biggies on the list then we call can focus our business with them and "Smith & Wesson" the other ones who keep selling to LEO's NY state. Remember the recalibration S&W learned from in the 90's. We can do this/shame those who remain. This is the sort of thing social media works for us with.

Looks like Midway USA has joined in... No official statement yet though.

Kind of funny Cheaper Than Dirt is involved after the Sandy Hook fiasco. Think someone at company headquarters said, "Let's see if this will get some of our customers back.?

CTD probably doesn't have a huge amount of law enforcement sales anyway. Whatever the reason, we'll take it.

Going by the instructional videos he posts on the Midway site and You Tube he's a also a HIGHLY skilled gunsmith.
Which isn't really relevant but impresses the hell out of me... ;)

Sent...so CTD is trying to win their way back into our hearts and minds? We'll see. I'll be watching them for awhile before I decide they have learned their lesson.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

better to be feared than loved. Figuring out which side your bread is buttered on is a good thing. Showing capacity to learn and adjust behavoir is a good thing.

They're in time out with me for some time to come but let's see if they stay the course.

If Midway's in, I wonder if Brownell's will follow suit?

Not sure how much of the LEO market they have, especially in NY, where the NYPD is probably at least 50% of the market all by itself and uses Glocks, but S&W would probably be most vulnerable to customer pressure, since they're US based.

The other companies that aren't being looked at much yet are ammo suppliers. If they cut off states like NJ that don't allow JHPs for citizens, that might get attention, too.
