I think there is a need for a simultaneous testing program in a Northern below zero climate. Good with details. Self-starter. Safety is paramount. No douchebaggery. Ready to go ASAP. I'd be looking to start at $0.00 / hour. Seriously.  ETA - Working on the "Will work for Dillo Dust" cardboard sign. |

Let's see....
I live in the Austin area (10 minutes from LaRue Tactical). NRA Certified Rifle and Pistol Instructor, NRA RSO Retired military...... OH CRAP I COULD BE THE ONE! But I still have my county job and then there is our gunshop in Liberty Hill. I guess I better pass, got to sleep sometime. ETA: But I am bubling over with ALACRITY!!!! |

Amazing opportunity for the right person but I have a feeling this job would be along the lines of being a gynecologist. You'd be up to your elbows in something you loved all day, that when it came time to enjoy the one you have at home, you would already be sick of it.

Mark, If you have a CA compliant model that you want to test out let me know. I can give it a go!  Quoted: Title says it all ... and no, I'm not kidding. Must be current Austin, area resident.

Wow! That's an amazing opportunity! I wouldn't even call it a job... it's a dream come true for some of us! LaRue is just up the road from where I live. I'd be all over this were I looking for a job. (I may be soon; tech jobs are still heading to Asia) Completely Off Topic: Having a dream job - I've had them before and the fun turns into work all too fast. Years ago I was a divemaster in the Florida Keys working on a boat in paradise, doing something I really liked and was very good at. 12 & 18 hour days, and you never knew if you had a day off until early morning when you looked at the flags upon waking. Blowing? How hard? Which direction? When I did get a day off the weather really sucked. If anyone was going out to get divers in the water, it would have been me as I was able to do that when others could not. Setting an anchor is an art in heavy seas, and handling the people even more so. The dive shop owner and boat captain was a real A-hole... not a nice guy to work for. There were a few times I came close to grabbing my gear and swimming the 6 miles back to shore. In hindsight I would have been better off doing exactly that, save for leaving the customers. On the other hand, I learned a whole sh!t-load about people; lessons not available any other way. Very memorable, very educational, and the money sucked ass.

You'd be up to your elbows in something you loved all day, that when it came time to enjoy the one you have at home, you would already be sick of it. This page is mine. Some people.. I would jump on this if I were closer. Now you have me wondering about how many tens of thousands of rounds I would have to shoot before I wouldn't enjoy it anymore.. Pfft who am I kidding i'd have a permanent smile on my face if this was my "job". |

Quoted: <snip> Pfft who am I kidding i'd have a permanent smile on my face if this was my "job". You know the rules –– if that happens, after four hours, you should seek immediate medical attention. Should be posted on the website per the FDA NRA: IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WORKING AT LARUE TACTICAL BELOW: Do not work for LT if you take nitrates, often prescribed for chest pain, as this may cause a sudden, unsafe drop in blood pressure. Discuss your general shooting ability with ML to ensure that you are healthy enough to engage in OBR/PredatAR testing activity. If you experience shoulder pain, Dillo Dust overdose, or any other discomforts during testing, seek immediate medical help. In the rare event of an OBR/PredatAR testing smile lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help to avoid long-term injury. In rare instances, men taking bacon (or oral erectile dysfunction medicines, including VIAGRA) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to bacon or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of vision, stop taking bacon, including canned tactical bacon, and call a doctor right away. Sudden decrease or loss of hearing has been rarely reported in people testing without proper ear protection. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to the testing or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of hearing, stop testing and contact a doctor right away. If you have prostate problems or high blood pressure for which you take medicines called alpha blockers, your doctor may start you on a lower dose of bacon or remove Clorox Wipes from your personal hygiene regimen.  |
