Hi Iso, RGR sure does have an interesting divedend at almost 7%, and it's an interesting back door type of argument that US society may be less interested in prohibiting guns, while we have this uncertainty. RGR is not a pure security play like INVN etc, as far as I can see. Sturm Ruger and Company, Inc. is principally engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of firearms and precision metal investment castings. The Company offers 30 different types of firearm products in four industry categories, rifles, shotguns, pistols and revolvers. Most are available in several models based upon caliber, finish, barrel length and other features. The Company is also engaged in the manufacture of titanium and ferrous investment castings for a wide variety of markets including sporting goods, commercial and military. In 1999 and 1998, the Company's most successful investment castings product were titanium golf club heads for Callaway Golf Company, Inc. The Company produces titanium golf club heads for Karsten Manufacturing Corporation and other golf club manufacturers, as well as various titanium and steel castings for a number of customers.
