Funny, I met the owner back in the late 90s at a huge law enforcement street survival expo put on by my county. I had a chance to talk to him for about a half hour between our scheduled seminars after lunch.
He asked if I got his catalog, and I told him I did, and told him exactly what I liked and disliked about it. The biggest issue I had was his ridiculously high shipping and handling fees. I told him I had put together several large orders, both professional, as a department academy/firearms instructor, and personal. I tossed the orders when the shipping hit.
He gave me his card, with a code to write on the order form. Use this, free shipping on all your orders. What does that do for the rest? I had asked. We have to make a profit.
I tossed the card, and unsubscribed to the catalog.
The things I would order, I bought locally.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.
