Head of Smith & Wesson resigning due to the revelation that he spent time in the pokey a long while back for armed robbery. Nice.

As one in the shooting sports industry, I have to say we have just taken a shot to the foot.....

I dont think so. Whoever made him head of S&W shot themselves in the foot. I dont think working for a company that makes firearms in the executive "hands dont get dirty" command structure requires a background check. I wonder if this guy was part of the "Clinton - S&W preferential treatment for sellout" crowd. As far as irony goes...it's a good one.

Minder also told the paper that he turned his life around after finishing his prison sentence in 1969. He said he has spent his professional career trying to help kids after receiving a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering, a bachelor of arts in sociology and a master of arts in social work, all earned from the University of Michigan.

Minder, who served on the 152 year-old company's board since 2001, had run a successful non-profit agency serving delinquent and disabled Michigan youths for 20 years before retiring to Scottsdale in 1997, the Republic said.

Is it just me or does sound like an excellent example of how someone can be 'reformed' in prision? I would think the certain political folks with love this guy. [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]

The article does not state that any laws were broken or that Minder falsely represented his qualifications.

Ironic, it is, but that's about it.

True...but he used shotguns. Maybe that's why he's stepping down.
