I will write a general round up of NRAAM soon, but I feel the need to get something off my chest first.<\/p>\n
If you’ve already listened to this past week’s Gun Blogger Variety Cast<\/a>, you’d already know that Erin Palette<\/a> had a “less than favorable” interaction with a certain Taurus representative.\u00a0 I would like to say that I was with her at that time, and I was the friend that was still standing there when she felt the need to walk away.<\/p>\n For those of you that haven’t listened, shortly after we walked up to the Taurus booth, one of their representatives wearing a suit (which usually denotes being higher up in the food chain than the normal guys in polo shirts) started talking to us.\u00a0 I believe his name was Kim Kyle and was the Florida sales rep.\u00a0 I’m pretty sure that he quickly figured out that we were both bloggers, since we were both wearing our respective versions of “I R SRS GUNBLGGR” T-shirts, had media badges, and had our respective websites printed on our badges.<\/p>\n He almost instantly started on a 5-10 minute rant about how evil and mean gun bloggers were, and how we only spew lies.\u00a0 I tried to give him a couple outs, since I know that there are many out there that bash Taurus because that’s what all the cool kids do, and not because they’ve had bad experiences\/done research\/etc.\u00a0 They’re not the only company that has that issue.\u00a0 Some deserve it, and some don’t, and I have been giving them the benefit of the doubt.\u00a0 He failed to act like I might be different.\u00a0 Thanks to Taurus’ sales rep, I have learned that they do not wish to have the benefit of the doubt, nor would they like my good will, business, or recommendations to others.<\/p>\n Oh, and I very much was considering buying one of their products in the near future (the PT-22), but it looks like I will be spending about $100 more on a Beretta Bobcat instead because I’m not a fan of giving money to companies whose representative talk shit about me to my face.\u00a0 I will also no longer even consider telling people to consider buying a Taurus… something that I’m asked on a regular basis.<\/p>\n Taurus, you can thank your Florida sales rep for the loss of my business, and the business of those that trust my opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I will write a general round up of NRAAM soon, but I feel the need to get something off my chest first.
