I was getting my daily dose of news from India and chanced upon this banner ad. Its the first time I am seeing a banner ad for anything gun related and especially on an Indian news paper's site (I know the paper does not choose what ads get displayed) but its still pretty impressive. Just thought I'd share with you.

Dear HSharief
Checked out your attachment, the type or news item was missing. So I googled and came across the front sight firearms training institute website. I seriously doubt whether any such institute would be allowed to function in India in the present scenario.
Regards

Howdy Sharief Bhai,

I think thats just geography based advertisement. They just tracked your IP and gave you advertisements specific to U.S

I cut out the news item so that just the banner is visible ;)

Imagine the throngs of folks lining up to learn shooting on a Springfield Armory XD pistol and the like... :) ...They'll be mighty disappointed.
