Cool idea:
"Falcon Bullet Company is conducting an October Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. For a limited time, FBC will be offering their FalCoated bullets in Breast Cancer Awareness Pink. A portion of the proceeds will go to a national foundation that funds Breast Cancer Education, Early Detection and Prevention, and Financial Medical Assistance to patients diagnosed with this terrible disease."

I find it odd that they do not name the charity, nor do they name the amount they will donate. Actually, it is more than odd, it smacks of being a con.

They're good people.

But I understand why anyone would be wary these days.

I'd buy some blue bullets for Prostate cancer research.

A portion of the proceeds...?

What's wrong with stating the specific percentage?

A national foundation...?

What's wrong with stating the specific name of the national foundation?

I'll pass...

Besides the entire thing sounds weird: Pink bullets = Breast cancer awareness?

Too weird.

Falcon Bullets is owned and run by some good folks.

But I understand how people could be suspicious these days.

"Falcon Bullet Company Fact: The owners mother has had breast cancer, a mastectomy, and the cancer has returned in her kidneys and bones.

Falcon Bullet Company Fact: The owners mother is a big part of getting bullets packed, inspected and shipped.

Falcon Bullet Company Fact: The National Breast Cancer foundation that the donation is going to (BIG hint there folks), asked the owner NOT to advertise their name due to some big donors and partners may be "offended" by an appearance of a "partnership" with the firearms industry.

Falcon Bullet Company Fact: The $5 per box of 500 is to cover the costs of the Campaign (yeah, there is a cost associated with credit card transactions and different color raw material and whatnot) and for the donation. What hasn't been said is that if the campaign goes over the top and all orders are BCA pink, more of the $5 per box is going to the donation. Why? Because there is no color change costs to switch back and forth between colors. Also, if the fundraiser doesn't go over big, then Falcon Bullet Company will be adding to the donation.

So... buy the Falcon Bullet BCA Pink, or regular FalCoated (red), or hard cast.... or nothing at all. Just know the company is not trying to pull the wool over your eyes in any way. "


Hope this helps clear things up.
