Commodity flow survey?

Got this from alien gear, anybody heard of this?

There's been some talk of the Census Bureau asking holster makers for sales data.

... because if you buy the holster, you must have the handgun that fits in it.

At least one holster manufacturer, thinking ahead to the possibilities, asked for help in loading every democrat elected official to their database as customers.

Or you can find a local crafter to custom make your holster, just like I did. 😁

Or buy off the rack, like I have done for every holster I own .

Have to use cash and not enter any additional info (phone #, rewards #, email).  Otherwise any store that uses digital inventory will have a record.

I would not be surprised.  Saw a video on YouTube a day or so ago where the guy was saying people are starting to complain they aren’t getting all of their ammo shipments through ups.  Or if they get then maybe 2/3 of what they bought was missing.  Sounds like a good idea is buy local.

So if you receive only 1/3 of the ammo isn’t that a claim?  How are the shippers dealing with shipping out 1k rounds to joe snow and he only gets 350 rounds? Sounds sus.

 

Edit: Are there any first hand undelivered UPS packages?  Heard it from a guy who said and then no actual customer complaints still seems sus to me!

Who didn't try at least 5 holsters before you got one you were happy with  

Not sure the point of this, I know this is how they determined (or said to have) that at one time the S&W shield was the most carried firearm in America.

I'm sure being  a decent but cheap ($320) firearm had a lot to do with that.

They might be amazed and shocked at who is on those customer databases.

I sold a two (antique) firearms to a well known person in NY (now deceased).  He used an alias name for three years before he told me the truth. He said he could not risk people finding out he had firearms even if they were antiques from the 1860's. 

p.s. I waited 12 years to acquire one of them and he waited 8 years to convince me to sell.
