When Mrs. Marine got her concealed pistol permit and new S&W 640 with pink CT grips, I began thinking how much she contributed to the stimulus of our economy by becoming a legally armed citizen.
The gun:
- price $550.00, who benifited?
- the small business gun owner
- the salesperson with salary and commission
- suppliers of S&W
- all transportation companies and employees
- truck drivers who own their own business
- S&W and employees
CCW class:
- cost: $150.00
- the privately owned small business owner
- the instructors and their pay
- the establishment rented to hold the class
via range fees and ammunition sale
- miscellaneous costs to eat out and travel
costs to and from the class
New pink crimson trace laser grips:
- Crimsom trace, their employees and suppliers
- some company on the net where we found them
- all transportation costs
Ammunition:
- other than at the class for personal
protection and storage at home-just in case
- the gun store selling the ammo
- the ammo company, their employees and
suppliers
- all transportation costs involved including
privately owned truck drivers
Practice:
- ranges, fees, ammunition, etc. (see above)
application fees for the CCW:
- cost: $105.00
- This goes into the Pulic coffers for
whatever public money goes into
- public employees such as the woman who
fingerprinted the lines of people applying
for their permit to carry.
A new Coach handbag with pockets to carry the gun:
- cost: $250.00
- the Coach store, their employees, and
suppliers, and the mall owner for store
rental. Don't forget commission.
- The resturant where we had dinner and tips
after we bought the handbag.
- all the employees of the Coach manufacturing company, their suppliers and transportation costs.
Othe purchases related to the entrance of Mrs. Marine to an armed citizen:
- three Surefire flashlights (E2D defender,
two E2D-Led defenders)
- fireproof Sentry safe
- Remington 81180 HD shotgun and ammunition
This, Mr. President is how "trickle down"
economic works. This is also a reason to promote legal gun ownership and quit demonizing an industry that will definitely help recover our failing economy. It is time to set aside radical, philosophies and let our capitalistic system take over to save us from a gloomy future.
