Business booming for gun store owner

Question, why does the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps have a different Multi-cam BDU??

That'd be b/c the USMC wants to remain unique. However, the USMC used the Army's design for decades and now the Army is looking into using the MARPAT.


So what is your business now that gives you great insight into DoD budgetting?

I have a Fraud Investigative company. It was a PI company until 2009. I started doing SIU work. I also have a Security arm to my company. I can do Security assestments from 800.00 to 3500.00. Depending on how large the building.

[mrklean]

If this was he case, why is there a ungoing investigation about the multi-cam BDU's. Secondly, why does each service have a differnt Multi-cam uniform? That goes against the word UNIFORM!!!!!!

Jesus, are you THAT stupid? The Marine multi-cam "uniform" is different than the Army "uniform" so you can tell the difference between fighting men and those that weren't good enough to be Marines.

Black Friday's gun-buyer checks set a record
FBI did record number of gun checks Friday —154,873 — up from last year's record of 129,166

For the second consecutive year, prospective gun buyers joined Black Friday shoppers in record numbers as firearms dealers swamped the FBI with required buyer background check requests.

The FBI fielded 154,873 calls, a roughly 20% increase from last year's previous one-day record of 129,166, according to bureau records.

The requests came in such volume throughout the day that FBI call centers experienced two brief outages — one of 18 minutes and one for 14 minutes —during the busy day, bureau spokesman Stephen Fischer said Monday.

The FBI does not track actual gun sales. But the number of firearms sold Friday is likely higher because multiple firearms can be included in one transaction by a single buyer.

Dealers attributed the continuing gun surge to a variety of factors, including an increase in women buyers and concerns that lawmakers in President Obama's second term could impose stricter gun laws. Among them: a possible attempt to renew a ban on assault weapons. Even so, neither Obama nor Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney offered such proposals during the just-completed campaign.

"With the recent election, some people are making buying decisions just in case something (new law) happens,'' said Don Gallardo, manager of Shooter's World in Phoenix. Gallardo said his store recorded a 10% increase in Black Friday sales. Gallardo said buyers cited similar reasons right after Obama won his first term in 2008.

Although handguns are generally the firearms of choice at Shooter's World, Gallardo said assault rifles, shotguns and other long guns nearly surpassed Friday's handgun sales.

Nationally, nearly 62% of Friday background check requests involved long guns, according to the FBI.

As in Phoenix, Friday sales were equally brisk at Guns Galore in Killeen, Texas. Salesman Greg Ebert said business benefited from the surge in holiday bargain hunters and an increase in the number of women buyers.

Ebert said the store doesn't specifically track sales by gender. "We're just a three-person operation here,'' he said. But Ebert said women are increasingly represented in daily store traffic.

"Women have taken a strong interest in shooting sports,'' Ebert said. "I think they see target shooting and other shooting sports as another form of relaxation.''

Yes. A squid. In other words, someone smart enough to NOT have to be handed a rifle and sent to the front. Admit it, kleanex, we ALL know the pecking order:

Squid
Jarhead
Flyboy
Grunt

[houndawg]

A jarhead is just a grunt with his brains beat out.



And squids and flyboys don't count since you're comparing military organizations.

Your 6 year service suggests it. Not many people go through basic, OCS just to leave after 6 years. Sure, people do but I can only name 1 officer who left service after his 4 years were up, but he graduated college as a Lt. So what was your rank? Remove all doubt.

I enlisted with a masters in Criminal Justice. While in Bootcamp (Ft. Knox), I was asked if I wanted to go to OCS after Bootcamp and I said Yes. But I would have to show you my DD-214 for you to belive me........................... BTW, all OCS Officers have to attend Basic Army Bootcamp.

I know you must pass basic prior to OCS. Isn't that common knowledge? I don't need to see a DD-214. I really don't care, I'm just trying to understand your background.

To be honest, your posts show a great lack of education therefore it proves to reason that you were probably some grunt that went in after high school. Perhaps if you could spell and structure a sentence better, you wouldn't have to explain yourself so often. For someone with a masters, I would expect you to be present your thoughts better. Just my

No, you don't make sense. You posted a fragment. If we were 14 year old girls then maybe I would understand "whatever" more. However, i'm a grown man and I prefer to use my words to go my point across. Maybe you don't. Correction: you clearly don't. But, i'll take a stab at it. Are you suggesting that those who don't serve are lazy, weak and aren't up to par with a specimen like yourself? I would hope not, there are countless discussions on here that show that to not be the case. I'll be waiting for your Graduate level analysis.

A Paratrooper MP? Interesting. I find it interesting that an "educated" person such as yourself sees no value in having a good command of the language. Regardless of your job, you should take pride in yourself and that includes speaking and writing like an educated man, especially if you have a business or want to be taken seriously. You either are lazy or ignorant. You don't owe any explanations to me. But it's hard to understand and take you seriously when you show no education despite receiving on and then excuse it by saying, "I served."

It's embarrassing when you try to tell us that blacks aren't stupid, lazy or any other stereotype (which they aren't) but you can't put a sentence or a rational thought together. I don't know, maybe I'm crazy for thinking if you have an education, it should show.

Spoiler: show

Besides, i'm not an English Teacher. After 5 attempts to join the USMC, I was medically disqualified.

[YoUDeeMan]

klean...a college graduate?

The professors should be ashamed of themselves.

Cripes, he should not have graduated from high school. Perhaps we've found his teachers.

"For 15 years, teachers in three Southern states paid Clarence Mumford Sr. — himself a longtime educator — to send someone else to take the tests in their place, authorities said. Each time, Mumford received a fee of between $1,500 and $3,000 to send one of his test ringers with fake identification to the Praxis exam. In return, his customers got a passing grade and began their careers as cheaters, according to federal prosecutors in Memphis.

Authorities say the scheme affected hundreds — if not thousands — of public school students who ended up being taught by unqualified instructors."

Yup, lowering standards so that everyone gets a "feel good" diploma.
