Hiya recoil guy and thx for the thread. I can relate, pushing 60 and out of shape,and carrying an extra 40lbs before I even reach for the range bag. I do appreciate the difference in carrying it back from rather to the range. Glad ya found a solution with the Stanley box. As an aside tho, the tool box without the swag could have been a choice made to not advertise that what lies inside are firearms. Where millions are made having a holster look like a purse,fanny pack,purse etc. With home invasions happening once every 7 minutes, and given the choice to advertise ,I have guns, or not. So shining the light that cz denied your request for free swag could be perceived as something less negative. EAA and Sig reps are certainly more marketing savvy, where companies pay for ads per viewer,and pay a premium to get viewed by their highest target,other gun owners. And I can see the initial contact at cz-usa deny a request for free merch,but if asked to be connected to the marketing dept. I'd lean towards you getting your free sticker. Be well.
