Apparently, they're starting to refuse to do business with the government. This includes items to be purchased with government credit cards, purchase orders, and even [i][b]cash.[/i][/b]
Interesting read, anyway.

Quite odd. We shall see how this shakes out in the next few days.
Sorry to miss you at the funshow. I looked for the Willie shirt, and looked to get approached by somebody who eyeballed my donut shirt, but it was a no go.
We both need AR15.com shirts [:D]

Heh.. yeah, I ended up getting there at 9:30am (had to get the dog to the vet). Sorry about missing you too. Saw a guy there selling some .50 Beowulf ARs. Those things looked meaner than hell. He had some IAI M1 carbines that I really was interested in, but the wife would have shot me with it.

Is it me taking my cranial unit out of my posterior, or are there a lot more OLD Garands popping up? I will try to be in a position to get both a Carbine and a Garand next month.
It is hard to do that, when you have moderators beating down your door, trying to sell you pistols. [:D]

I bet it has something to do with the government not paying their bills in a timely manner.

I believe it has to do with the fact that the company DOES NOT want to have to comply with the racial, sexual and other hiring quotas and myriad laws the US Government enforce on contractors to comply with who do business with them. They could conceivably be open to fed lawsuits for improper compliance with equal opportunity workforce laws if they are deemed a "Federal Contractor".
