    That hailstorm 2nd amendment snafu is all in the past.(recoil) Personally I digitally subscribe for much less than paper. Love the print quality though, and its definitely better than most. The pics alone are worth the price. Think I pay 15 bucks a year for digital.

    I agree. I read it cause I enjoy it. Although, I personally would rather have the actual mag (you do get pretty cool targets in each issue) I'm happy paying the $15 for the digital copy.

    I generally don't have issues with wrong information from gun store employees. Sometimes I actually expect it. One of the shops I frequent has a young lady, cute younger thing, that sells a lot of guns. As the crowd is typically split 50/50 with younger folks her age and an older crowd, it makes sense. The other day a young guy was looking at an AR, saw the $1100 Colt 6920 sitting next to the basic $685 S&W MP15 and asked her the difference in the two.

    "Price I think," she replies.

    I took him off to the side as she moved on and asked for intended use. Says he was getting out of the military and going to be a deputy sheriff. So I said "save your pennies and buy the Colt" while explaining why it would probably be a better choice for an LEO carbine. Thanks me and says he will go research it before making a purchase. And I can understand why he was looking at the major differences since a young married enlisted guy probably is looking at an additional $500 as a huge chunk of change to drop on something that looks alike.

    Anyway, I don't mind a little misinformation, but at the same time, employees should be able to state the minimum of differences in weapons systems. Most of the staff there is knowledgeable, but I asked one of them about why he didn't correct some customers that were spouting off things that he knew weren't true. His reply was one I will remember of "Sometimes you just let a customer say what they want to hear."

    Can't argue with that logic.
