FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY

摘要

In the Midwest United States, Mills Fleet Farm is a chain of stores that many consider the place where men go to shop. You can grab what you need for your cows at one end of the store, pick up another pair of work gloves and blue jeans in the middle, and finish the trip by buying a new fishing lure and a brick of .22 Long Rifle. The Mills Fleet Farm logo and its employee uniforms stand out as symbols of rural life. In the past, it was a place that advertised Marlin and Winchester .30-30s, Remington and Mossberg 12-gauge shotguns, and Ruger and Marlin .22 rifles. It sold pretty much the same sporting guns that every other hardware and box store sold. No handguns, no ordering the latest black rifle, no firearms that didn't fit the mold of what some consider sporting arms. By now some of you are asking what this has to do with the mission of S.W.A.T. Magazine.
