Thank you Melissa! Am sure you will be woo hoo'ing for yourself before you know it!

Awesome, but don't forget to update us after your wally walk.

Congratulations!

Congrats... I would have done this years ago if I knew I got a discount for being a veteran, i was expecting to spend 140 then I saw veteran price..

Welcome and Congratulations.

It should be free to Veterans, thanks for your service and for being a responsible gun owner.

Thank you all for the kind words. It is nice that the State has recognized veterans in this case. I can't speak for all veterans but for me it is not so much about the discounted price but more about being recognized for a contribution. Thanks again!
