Ruger and Steyr are the manufacturers I currently have a boycott against, nevermind how good their products might be. Seems like you got ahold of the wrong person, or maybe someone working at another company.
Their very lives may depend on what you teach them and I believe you need to be just a hair more mature in your decision making.
Why would you presume that? The Professor doesn't list a state under his name. Perhaps your state "credentials" CCW instructors, but my state does not and I suspect many other states do not.I presume that if you are a CCW instructor you have some sort of state-issued credentials.
I think you should be sending that last sentence to Sturm-Ruger, not to the professor. I agree with his position completely. If a company won't help you sell their product, why should you waste any bandwidth on them? Other companies make excellent handguns and are willing to work with "the industry."MinnMooney said:Ruger makes excellent guns. Why would you not show your studends an example of a wonderful, affordable and very dependable weapon just 'cause you can't get a stupid catalog? All of their products are available on their webpage.
Controling what your impressionable students have to choose from seems just slightly dictatoral & controling to me.
I think a more mature approach would be to give your students the widest and best possible selection of weapons and then explain that Ruger chooses not to send catalogs so they'll just have to log on to see other available products.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
