I feel like I am unobservant. Especially since I own stock in Ruger.
But I did not know, until today, that Beretta was making a hostile takeover bid for Ruger. I think this might be great for my stock price, but I would very much regret seeing another independent gun maker become part of a larger conglomerate. On the gripping hand, there are probably worse companies that could buy Ruger…
Speaking of stock:
And speaking of S&W, I got a press release today: Lena Miculek has returned to Smith and Wesson as their newest “ambassador”. I find this interesting, as she was previously with Sig Sauer, and was the front person for their ROSE program. I did know that she had left Sig a few months ago, so I guess this is the proverbial other shoe dropping.
This came across a mailing list I’m on, and I wanted to bookmark it: I may need this at some point in the not-too-distant future.
I will say that this falls more into the “relationship advice” category than “gun crankery”, but it seems sound to me.
