Americana

We’ve set up at 3 gun shows so far to set up a base of sales while we work on advertising avenues, new designs and to get the name out there – to keep the bills paid so-to-speak. One would think that the majority of patrons who go to these shows are on the country side. Well… that’s the farthest from the truth. To be honest, not only are the vendors a variety of every race, creed & color. But so are the patrons / buyers. It makes it extremely hard to nail down a base market to pour advertising dollars into. It’s what I thought… that the combat culture is spread over all walks of life. It’s just damn good to see it come to fruition. 

When people come to the booth and I lay down the skinny on Headshot, it just clicks to them. That’s what I get the biggest enjoyment out of – seeing people get it. It’s a gimmie on those who just generally like the imagery of the shirts with guns on them or the MMA designs. But it’s the one’s who light up with a smile when the idea clicks like they just discovered the truth behind a magic trick.

Now, the saddest thing is seeing fellow vendors disappointed that their sales are declining due to the enormous amount of competition forced upon the market because of the increasing socialist threat. These are hard working, honest americans who don’t deserve the backlash of all of this. Again, it’s not just the “rednecks” as some would put it. I see every color, age, gender & religion selling items at these shows. The gun is what freed this country in front of men and women with a true heart , strong ideas & a will to work – not by defeatists seeking entitlements and popularity.

So, if you see an ad for a gun show… go buy something. Even if it’s a t-shirt or a hat. Find out where they’re from and talk to them a bit. You’ll find they’re not the fanatical right-winger you’ve been led to believe they are. They’re just like you – trying to make a living.
