Second Amendment Foundation Launches E-Store

[Kevlar]

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) today announced the launch of its first online store, aimed at generating additional revenue to help fund its continuing legal challenges to excessively restrictive state and local gun laws across the nation.

This new venture comes on the heels of SAF’s Supreme Court victory in McDonald v. City of Chicago, and a successful Gun Rights Policy Conference in San Francisco late last month. SAF will use the online enterprise to build its legal action war chest. Currently, SAF is engaged in legal actions in Maryland, North Carolina, New York’s Westchester County, and again in Chicago. Other challenges are on the horizon.

“The simple fact is that lawsuits cost lots of money,” noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “The more we have in the way of funding, the more aggressive we can be. We’re a nation of laws, and many of our laws are constitutionally questionable in the wake of the McDonald ruling. We need to challenge those laws in court and strengthen our Second Amendment protections.”

With more than 8,000 items in the store, the core focus is on firearms accessories, logo apparel and Second Amendment-related books, movies and media.....

I placed an order with them after I got the email. They have quite a bit of stuff available. The stuff that I ordered I was going to buy anyway (targets), so I figured I'd let them make a few bucks to further the cause.

I placed my first order and everything seemed to go through fine. The next day I got the following email from them:

Hi XXXXX XXXXXXXXX,

the Status of your Order No. X has been changed.

Comments on your Order:
Mr. XXXXXXXX, we regret that an overly conservative configuration setting in the SAF store has meant that your credit card was NOT charged for this order. We have canceled the order and hope that you'll be willing to log in and place the order again.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

New Status is:

I went back and reordered the same items. I got an email confirming it, but I haven't gotten a shipping confirmation yet. According to the confirmation # I was one of the first people to order from them and I suspect that they're working the kinks out of their storefront. Not a big deal.

Their online store is worth a look if you're in the market for something.
