More Political Incorrectness from Adventure Outdoors

Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, Georgia, probably my favorite gun store in the world, has done it again.

When you vote in Georgia, you are given a nice peach sticker that says “I’m a Georgia Voter.” Now, if you bring that sticker to the store, you can register to win a new Glock 22 or a Browning hunting rifle.

This, of course, has drawn the ire of a local politician, State Senator Vincent Fort, Democrat of Atlanta. And, no, Adventure Outdoors is not in his district.

I’m not sure how well the idea will hold up, considering there is a law in Georgia prohibiting anyone from offering money or goods in exchange for voting or registering to vote. But, it certainly will provide enough publicity for the store. Besides, the only proof you need to bring in is a sticker, and I keep my extras in the drawer, so I can wear two or three at a time. That gigs ’em, too.

When the Balloon Goes Up! Launches Online Store for Gear That Just Works

Ron Larimer at the When The Balloon Goes Up! blog has launched a new online store. He sent me a link to it some time back, and I must say, I think he has done it right. The store concentrates on gear for concealed carry, preparedness, and competition pistol shooting, and he has done a great job in picking the leading products in each, products with a reputation for no-nonsense quality and performance.

Personally, I am a big fan of Warren Sevigny sights, and when I get a chance to add another set, I plan to buy from Ron. I’ll let you know my experience, for sure.

Here’s the announcement on the Shooting Wire. Check out the new site.
