I got an email yesterday from bud’s Gun shop. Between Buds Police Supply and an S&W promotion, you can get a 9mm or .40 M&P and 2 extra mags for $399 including shipping, or a .45 for $471 including the extra mags, I think. You have to be provably "qualified" as follows:
* Active Military personnel - all branches
* Retired Military personnel - all branches
* National Guard personnel - all branches
* Military Reserve personnel - all branches
* Fire Fighters - including volunteers
* Paramedics and EMTs
* TSA Employees
* Commercial Pilots
* Federal Flight Deck Officers
* Court Judges
* District and Deputy District Attorneys
* All sworn Law Enforcement Officers - city, county, state, and federal
* All retired Law Enforcement Officers - city, county, state, and federal
* All Corrections Officers
* State Licensed Security Companies
which I am not, so I pass this on.
I've done business with Bud's before and thaey seem to be straight shooters.
