Uhh….that isn't LEO discount….is it?

Nope. Gander Mountain perk

And I'm still waiting for the G42 to come back in stock...but my Bushnell pro deal is getting delivered today

No. We used to get the LEO Blue Label prices, and they were higher than these. If I'm not mistaken, the LEO prices were closer to $400.

I couldn't believe that the 42 was only $264. That's a great deal.

Explain this gander discount then…how in the world do gander employees get more of a discount that LEO and military?

Glock, along with countless other companies, offer pro deals for people that sell their products.

yes this..the companies know they'll end up selling more of their products if they let us buy them cheaply

If you think about it from Glock's perspective, it makes a lot more sense to give shop employees discounts than it does LEO or military. If a shop employee owns a product, they are way more likely to recommend it to a potential buyer than a competitor's product. I'm sure that most companies see a much greater return on their investment by giving shop employees discounts than they do with cops or military. Other than a being a nice gesture, I doubt there is much gain at all to giving personal LEO or military discounts.

Shop employees get huge discounts on tons of products. Below is a list of a SMALL percentage of the brands that I get massive discounts on.

Gotcha. I'm going to hold my tongue on this subject. This is an interesting tidbit to know….
