Most Interesting Gun Contest

We are having a contest. This contest is open to the public. All you have to do is bring in the most interesting gun you own. We want to know what gets your attention when it comes to rare guns. As many of you may know, we have really branched out into the antique realm of our business. This would not be possible without all the loyal customers bringing in these rare and hard to find guns. Now we want to branch out into the world of intrigue.

As gun enthusiasts it is important to find something that speaks to you. These may be guns that are old or brand new. The guns that get you excited may be modified or just like they were from the factory. We want to know what you find exciting and interesting. In order to fully tap the potential of our business we have to keep our customers interest.

 We want to serve you better. What better way to serve our customer base than to offer what other businesses don't. So bring in the cool, strange, odd, eccentric, old, new, battered, modified, or just plain bad a#$. We love guns here at Lock 'N' Load, that much is evident. We now want to know what you love. This is why we are having the Most Interesting Gun Contest.

Post with freedom

I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. I want to get serious here for a few minutes. I wanted to inform everyone of a new website name Gun District. Gun District is a social media platform that allows gun enthusiasts to network with other members. By clicking on the video here http://screencast.com/t/dCwOhUvxf  you can get acquainted to the new site. I can't express enough how important it is for us to network.

We face some trying times ahead of us as gun owners. It seems more and  more these days that we are getting pushed back by members of our society that don't understand or just plainly fear guns. I am a long time gun owner and it's how I make my living. There is nothing I can say alone as one voice to be heard by the masses that want nothing more than to shout me down. With many voices, perhaps, we can change some opinions and gain some understanding. We are strong when we are together. Some other social media platforms have taken down pictures or videos of guns. That is why I wanted to introduce everyone to Gun District. So check out the site. Gun District will not take down your posts of guns. You will find no gun free zones there that's for sure. Remember to keep your powder dry and good guys with guns only make us safer.
