http://smallbusiness.foxbusiness.com/entrepreneurs/2013/01/22/gun-shop-owner-calls-for-groupon-boycott-after-firearm-deals-dropped/?intcmp=obnetwork Reuters When gun-shop owner Michael Cargill started offering a "daily deal" for his store on Groupon, he says he was amazed at the purchase volume he saw as a result. The owner of Central Texas Gun Works said within a day of offering concealed handgun license courses for half price, the deal was set to sell out. “A Groupon rep called me and said, ‘Why don’t we increase the amount of people who can sign up for the class?’” Cargill said. “So I more than doubled it from 600 to 1,500 people.” Within two days, on January 18, Groupon called once again, this time to say the deal was being cancelled. “They said they were suspending all deals for shooting and guns,” Cargill said. “According to my contract, it says they need to send me that in writing, and I never received it.” While Groupon has not commented on media speculation that the company removed these gun-related deals in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook tragedy, which happened in December, the site did release a statement to FOXBusiness.com. “Groupon has been testing firearm-related deals like shooting ranges and concealed weapons courses for the last eight months,” spokesperson Julie Moser said via email. “Based on performance and customer feedback, it's clear they're not a fit right now.” Cargill said he is outraged by the move. He has called for a boycott of Groupon, and is in contact with his attorney. “They are punishing law-abiding citizens, and those who want to learn about gun safety and the laws around firearms,” Cargill, said. Liz Goodgold, branding expert and author of “REDfire Branding,” said the removal of these offers is likely a positive step for Groupon, especially in the wake of Sandy Hook. “People are looking for a quick fix solution [for gun violence] and by banning gun-related sales, Groupon shows emotion. This makes them newsworthy, and people like when brands show empathy.” And although small business owners like Cargill may be mad at the fallout, the consumers will likely not penalize Groupon for the move. “Consumers who are looking for a solution will feel better about it,” she said. “It’s almost as if the public option scales are weighing more positively toward them than any negative impacts.” And Cargill likely stands to benefit as well, Goodgold said. “Now he has a business platform to stand on, this puts him out there as ‘the poor business owner,’” she said.

Dom, not sure if this will help. My cousin trains shepherds, she always has said everything in 3s. Have them sit 3x and move on to shake 3 then move on. Do once in morning and in evening. Worth a shot. Kinda worked with my beagle and they are stubborn

nice

That has a big trunk Growie :-)

I know that but still chose to have it out.

it was frozen, i will put it back out when it hits at least 15. i was panicked. lol

think my Bushnell is frozen. no pictures since Sunday, i am letting it thaw/warm up

i was just out again, ran next door and checked my camera got eggs and went down to road for garbage can. I think it has to be colder than what weatherchannels says. BRrrr

HA

it was 6 here also but it has started to warm up we are at 9, should hit 20 today

I was out at 6 this morning, no wind so not that bad, just ran and got my camera out back and its snowing pretty good here

wow, you watch that.

are you bored? lol

thats a good idea

or just go off like a siren, TRESPASSER TRESPASSER, YOUR A TRESPASSER

That was a long time ago, i was a different person and the neighborhood was also different. I would not do that now

thanks for the idea

i have bird crap on my windshield and it is staying until its warmer. scared window will brake

good looking dog!

When i was 16 i had my first apartment close to Hospital on Portland ave. Not sure how long i lived there at the time. I got a knock and they said it was neighbor asking for sugar, i am cracking up as i write this lol I open door swinging a plastic bat, not even sure if i hit the guy. He crawled backwards on his butt screaming like girl right back in his place. think he kicked door closed. Not sure about the timing but he did move out the next month. when i told my father next day he want to kick my ars for opening door

I think either of these collars used to control the barking is wrong. one knows how the dog is going to bark and sound before getting it and if one does not like it then why would one get a hound?

its so cold i got a frozen egg, first time for this. just hope it wasn't frozen coming out

My niece in Ga is crying how cold it is there. All i say is dress in layers and don't cry because her tears will freeze lol
