Having a firearm is right for every human being. We must be able to defend ourselves
I believe all of us gun loving good citizens should be able to buy a gun or two for protection—even though some people misuse the privege of this. The second admenment says that this cannot be enfringed on and it should not.. Because people get killed every day drfiving cars when they are speeding driving drunk etc. etc… does thst mean they are going to get rid of all the cars out there—no am sure that will never happen—Lib eral people who think that getting rid of guns is going to change this is crazy–look at proabition hell there was… Read more »
Donna, every mass killer , with possibly one exception, has passed the background check. The exception is teb Sandy Hook killer who murdered his mother and took her guns.
Half the police officers killed in line of duty are killed with their own gun.
There is no brain scan that can tell what somebody will do tomorrow or next year. The Thousand Oak killer not only passed a NICS check but he was cleared by “professionals” when the police/sheriff investigated him.
You say you’re not TOTALLY AGAINST guns but you feel. You might try thinking.
Love their product, the only problem is putting a very large Ice cube for Bourbon in the glass!
It is their company so I guess they can give their employees whatever they decide to give. But I could think of better gifts than a gun. I’ve never thought owning a gun makes you any safer, too many different scenarios can happen.True story: one of my relatives has several guns, but their house was still burglarized while he and his wife were sleeping. The guns were locked in a safe. Thankfully, no one was hurt but really what good did the guns do? Maybe the two employees who initially turned down the offer felt they had to accept just… Read more »

This is smart business. Some areas prohibit a prospectivve employee running a background check as a key part of the hiring process. THIS is bogus.. it denies my right, as an employer, to freely associate…… or not, as I deem fit for my business. After all, I will be spending a lot of time with these people. I’ve long thought a legal work-around for this unfair prohibition would be to require every new employee, as a condition of hire, to obtain their Mother May I Card to carry a handgun legally. Some would protest… fine. they don’t want to work… Read more »
Looks like they chose some real nice guns, but Not all of them picked out handguns, I see a few long guns as well. If I lived in that area I would try to get hired at that company.
WOW… first I’ve heard of this…. give this company a big boost… buy a shot glass for Christmas.. BRAVO !
This company did get it right, from what I have heard they had some turn downs, but the company got everybody training and some of the turn downs are having second thoughts about the gift. This was all done with proper training before the offer, which should be done for anyone who has never owned or shot a gun!!! Just to the point a great idea with it being done the right way!!!!!
