Glock in the press
Looks like Businessweek ran a rather unflattering piece on Glock, alleging they hide profits in shell companies. But there is also a lot of good info in the piece. Massad Ayoob doesn’t think the piece is anti-gun and he actually did some shooting with the reporter.

I think people are a bit quick to yell fire.
This wasn’t anti gun. Business Week doesn’t care one way or another. Rather, it was a fascinating look at how a very successful business is run and how they overcame some pesky challenges – using both politics and product improvement to advance the business.
I came out of reading it with a ton more respect for Gaston Glock.

I don’t think the piece was anti-gun at all. It was pretty much just a straight-up business piece, like it should be. Interesting to read all of the intrigue going on at Glock, however. I guess it kind of puts the company in a bad light, but that’s the fault of the events themselves, not the reporting.

Bet you won’t see this article mentioned in any of the gun rags. They don’t do anti-Glock.

If I every go to Austria, I think I might look him up and try to sell him a Ruger pocket gun so he can protect himself from senior citizen hit men.
