    Top Gun

    kagis

    Apparently this is at least his second election doing this.

    I’m a little suspicious that the goal is to promote his business more than running for office.

    He apparently bought a furniture store and converted the whole thing into a massive gun store with a bunch of amenities with "the largest showroom and indoor shooting range in the Midwest. "

    EDIT: As I vaguely remember, when US legislation went through restricting unsolicited telemarketing and such, there was an exception for political campaigns.

    checks

    The National Do Not Call Registry gives you a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls

    • You can register your home or mobile phone for free.

    • After you register, other types of organizations may still call you, such as charities, political groups, debt collectors and surveys. To learn more, read our FAQs.

    Yeah. Thinking that might be the angle.

      That’s the guy. He also opened his own private school during COVID (in the gun store) where kids didn’t have to wear masks or be vaccinated.

      Mystifyingly, there’s also an ice cream parlor in the store’s lobby. Even my conservative mother-in-law who was career army said, “well we’re not going there” when she found that out.

      Which is yet another reason I would never vote for him.
