PMags is not an ammo dealer! :)

My domain name and nick name share a name with an ammo magazine. Lucky me!

I've told people that when you google PMAGS, my site comes up amidst all the ads for Polymer Mags. I am not overly familiar with firewarms to be honest. Never realized it was a type of ammo magazine until a few years ago when I registered the domain.

Anyway, an irate gentleman wrote this Nastygram in my guestbook on an older verison of my site:

Comment: What the hell is this I Google "PMAG" and get this site. If you are going to use a trade mark name you better at least sell Magpuls product. Freaking tree huggers, the demise of our civilizations.

I am guessing PAUL "MAGS" MAGNANTI aka PMags is a bit too obtuse for this gentleman?

I left the entry because it was too funny!! I The nickname (Mags) goes back to at least my grandfather and I've had a variation of pmags@XXXX.com for about 15 yrs now. As for the tree hugger bit… Heh. "How to snowshoe" and "Where to pick up Ramen on the Colorado Trail" must be some liberal political agenda.   The family nickname is a tad older than polymer magazines I am guessing!  :)

In an interesting side twist, looks like the company that makes PMags (the ammo magazine; not the short, bald, Italian looking gentelman) is based in Boulder, CO!

(For a liberal, pseudeo-hippy town, Boulder has some interesting companies:
Soldier of Fortune Magazine, this pmags company, and the largest ah, alternative adult entertainment distributorship in the country and this publishing house that features "The Ultimate Sniper Set")

PMags (TM) –a freakin tree hugger

UPDATE JANUARY 2013:

Three years later, apparently I should have given up this outdoor liberal hippy stuff.

Fun with Google Webmaster tools. Found this comment on a link to my site. 

"Someone should enlighten this Paul Magnanti character to the potentially lucrative opportunity to re-purpose his self named blog into a search engine that deals only in finding vendors with PMags in stock. He's probably not a gun guy or entrepreneur or he would have already taken the initiative."

Indeed! 

Folks, should I give up this outdoor shtick and just sell polymer magazines?
