Avoid using IWANNA

[TRguy]

Buddy of mine got this back from IWANNA, His Story:

This is an email that I got in return. I know its their paper and they can run it how they want, but why not just not allow any gun ads.

ill bet your in NC,SC, or TENN....... right?
the iwanna is great but it is better to call and actually talk to someone instead of send an online add or leave a message afterhours. around here(WNC) they are charging 8 bucks for any gun add for 1 week, or at least that is what it says in the heading before the gun section adds..

and this

For those of us who are un-enlightened, what is IWANNA?

 

[DRYHUMOR]

IWANNA is the local ad rag paper. There is another in SC called The Carolina Trader. A lot better to deal with I think.

Trader has much better deals, and no crazy restrictions. I avoid IWANNA for the most part - you can browse guns, but can't get the numbers. Trader you can't browse, but it's like 65 cents from a newsstand.
