In the Times Union today (which I know a lot of you guys hate) featured Taylor and Vadney, a great shop in Rotterdam. It says he took down his “Now In Stock” with a silhouette of an AR-15 sign from outside the store. He said he’s taking all the ARs off the shelf and to “Please let people know”

So whatever that’s worth.

You can STFU! Did Wayne or I throw firecrackers… CHUCK TESTA. We have eliminated all the bs drama filled people in our lives- and those involved are no longer invited/allowed to our house. It’s unfortunate that crap happened at our house and it’s still brought up!

All firearms we currently own are always tucked away when we have company. Unlike what many may see/ think- we are actually pretty responsible/ decent people IRL.

Back on topic- haven’t had much time to do any further research with Wayne, hopefully right after the holiday we’ll pick up 2 more.

T&V can fuck right off then too. Best part about being me is that it’s more fun to shop on CL anyway. This is now the “lets see how many stores Wayne & Trace can boycott thread.”

I’ve been in contact with Mike @ Allstar Tactical and he still has them, he’ll put the parts aside and have it sent out in 2-3 weeks to a local shop.

Word. Too easy to click “like” and not drive 30mins to a sporting goods store.

It’s not that he doesn’t care, it’s that he doesn’t care enough to let it affect his way of life and livelihood. Why would he give up income in order to protest in front of his store who won’t take his income in the manner he intended for them to take it?
