See you at Front Sight

Filed under: Have Gun, Will Travel, Kewel! — Phil at 6:09 am on Saturday, June 30, 2007

I’ve mentioned the Front Site Firearms Training Institute multiple times in the past, especially during the string of Boston T. Party “Quotes of the Day” run. They are one of the premier schools for practical firearms training on the North American continent.

They have set up an advertizing campaign somewhat akin to Googlebombing, wherein bloggers who post a patch of HTML on their blogs (as seen below) will be given a free course of their choice of Practical Rifle, Select-Fire M16, Defensive Handgun, Tactical Shotgun, or a Uzi Submachine Gun. (Personally, I think The Hun Bastard and I would have a blast at the Practical Rifle course)

Feel free to click on any of the links below to be taken to the Front Sight site and paruse about. Let them know that RNS has had them permalinked since around the time we switched over to WordPress (January 2005) and would love to stop by for a session.

Also, in case you don’t know, if you buy a lifetime membership to GOA, you also get a free course at Front Sight worth nearly 2x as much as you paid for the membership.

If you have a blog and would like to participate, you can go here for the HTML. Thank you for clicking, and see you at Front Sight.

Found at the Anarchangel and which has become somewhat of a bit of a controversy.

You are correct in that it’s valuable training, but you also have to transport yourself to Vegas to get it. For the price of TWO tanks of gas, you could have transported yoursef to Lebanon, OR, site of the Oregon Firearms Academy, and gotten the same training from the same quality experts.

Oh, and you wouldn’t have had to participate in demonstrating a weak side to the world, either.

Back when I was copping, I had several arrestees try to bribe me over the years. They would usually say something like, “Everyone has their price.” I would smile, and agree with them, “Yes, you’re right, everyone DOES have their price, but YOU, asshole, couldn’t begin to come up with the money for mine.”

My Itegrity Rule: Never reveal your price until that time as you want everyone to know it also. For me, that time is probably when I have 5 people left to kill with my rifle, and only 3 rounds left. I might try to sell myself to the last two.

And, I don’t sell space on my blog to anyone. If they’re deserving, I’ll GIVE them a link.

My blog is a part of ME. Not for sale.

sell out? me? …

So in my daily wandering about of the many weblogs on the internet, I stumbled across something rather interesting.  The long and the short of it is that if you provide space on your weblog/webpage and link the holy flying……
