A new section is going live today, titled "Dealer Connection". I'm sure you've seen similar setups on other forums, so you should be familiar with the concept. Basically I am reaching out to our local dealers of firearms and firearm related accessories in an effort to establish a relationship that will benefit both them and the members of Maryland Shooters. They get what is essentially free advertising directly to their target market, and in return we (the members) get special discounts and an open channel directly to the dealers for questions, comments, price quotes, etc. I believe that it will be a mutually beneficial relationship.
What I will not allow is for this new section to become a dealer bashfest. This is NOT a venue for airing your grievances if you haven't gone through the proper channels first. Handle the matter privately BEFORE taking it public. And if your complaint does not appear to be legitimate, or if it involves personal attacks, it will get zapped. If we see a dealer that demonstrates a pattern of not treating our members well, they will get zapped. This is all common sense, which is something the majority of our members seem to demonstrate, so I think that this will not be a problem.
There are only a few member dealers now, but I will be adding more shortly. I'm waiting for a few dealers to complete their information form, at which point they will be added. I would expect the list to continue to grow as time passes. If you don't see your favorite dealer in our list, please let them know about it and have them contact me so that hopefully I can sign them up.
There will be a sticky thread at the top of each dealer forum that lists their business information and what benefit they will extend to members of MDShooters on a semi-permanent basis.
