Media Day disclosure
Updated: January 9th, 2013
In the interests of full disclosure, these were the free gifts given to me at Media Day (the industry shoot before SHOW Show starts).
What you have there is four caps, one notebook, eye and ear protection (not really a gift), a backpack and a Otis cleaning kit-in-a-can (a promotional version of their kit, I think).
These were not given to me personally, but were on offer to all attendees of Media Day.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

The advertising industry, in particular, has developed a habit of referring to "free gifts". I've uttered that ridiculous phrase myself. Of course, "gifts" are "free" by definition. We'd do this industry a favor by avoiding that type of abuse of the language.
Whoa...! A ruger SR9 hat? I didn't get one of those! I am jealous! ;)
