I remember vividly standing next to Dick Metcalf and Ken Jorgensen at PASA Park back then. Dick was arguing that it was terrible to try to boycott and destroy a great old company like S&W because of one dumb mistake. Tompkins made a really stupid business decision in trying to cut a deal with Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo told them he'd steer lots of Federal gun buying to them. Stupid...because Tompkins didn't check to see if he had the power to do that. Then Bush won and the rest is history.
