Saturday I bought a Glock 19 from a local "Authorized Glock Dealer." I paid $599. I asked about military discounts for retired military members and was told they had no such discounts. Later, when setting up an account on the Glock website, I read that Glock offers a Blue Ribbon discount for LE, AD, NG, Res and retirees through they LE dealers. Today, I called my local LE distributer and learned that the discount on the $599 gun was $200. $399 for the same gun. :eek: I called my local "Authorized Glock Dealer" and after much "discussion," was able to get my money back. When the money is firmly in my account, I will visit the LE dealer and get another. A 33% discount is a significant savings. :cool:

Had a guy ask me why I take veterans day off...told him I earned it. He said he takes it off too, (piece of dung civilian). My reply was "you take MLK day off too, and you ain't black...I see a pattern" We are not friendly co workers

The money from the refund showed up in my account. I went to the LE dealer, and with my discount, bought a G19 for 459. with night sights. I would have been fine, right up until the minute the Tech showed me a bolt on light and laser combination for another 280. I could probably explain it away as a dog toy, until the price comes up. Oh well, this can be my 2014 project. :rolleyes:
