Yes, I did read the release. I work for the US Navy. Do you understand that GSA items are a way to streamline purchases of commercial-off-the-shelf items? I know full well that it's not a hard and fast order like most folks are used to, however, respect that 1) it eliminates the need for individual purchase contracts for the locks; i.e., no development of specifications, solicitation for bids, award process, ad infinitum. If the need arises, you go to the GSA catalog and select a Saf-T-Lok. It's approved within the Federal Supply chain. I'm not gonna hype buy implying that they have various Federal agencies lined up to purchase these babies, I have no clue. But, if any agencies should need to buy them, this makes it very easy. 2) it is an unspoken endorsement of the Saf-T-Lock device over others in the field competing in this whole vague arena of firearm safety. You can trade it for sure, and as I mentioned elsewhere you'd be very safe, as the geenral trend is up. So, if you get stuck behind on a buy, if you wait it out, the price will catch up. The trend is your friend. My goal at some point along the way will be to regain a majority of my capital and ride out the freebies, but I expect that I'll only need to cash out about 30% of my shares to do that. Note also the violence of the price swings on a 2 year chart in the past, vice the gradual turn leading up to today. I gotta stick my neck out and say it's different...:o) Good Luck
