Jim Shockey news

I cannot believe that the president of the American Hunters and Shooters Association would openly support Obama. These people are utterly nuts. Leatherman supported Kerry in the last election, and took an "I do not care how it affects my business" attitude prior to the election because he must not have thought it would have really affected his sales. That was his e-mail to me after I wrote him prior to the election and said I would never buy another Leatherman product. A couple of months after the election, he wrote a mass e-mail asking those of us that had previously written him, to think about what we were doing by boycotting his products because while his political view was pro Kerry, he still had employees that relied on him that did not take an outspoken view on the election. I guess he should have thought about that BEFORE he went and wrote what he did. I still haven't bought another Leatherman product four years later, and almost threw the one out that a friend gave to me as a present. When my brother in-law was looking for a multi-tool, I steered him toward the Gerber, which is what he ended up buying.
