SIG SAUER is now offering the SIG Professional Program (SPP) to first responders, military and security personel

Another reason for me NOT to buy Sig products. They don't recognize Veterans.

A city coroner can get in on the program, but not a veteran.




"Eligibility: The SIG Professional Program is available to the qualified individuals listed below, with approved purchaser ID:

Active-Duty Military with an Active-Duty Identification.
Corrections Officer, including Parole and Probation Officers.
Sworn Law Enforcement Officers, Including Federal, State, County & City also includes retired L.E. Officers with “Retired” Credentials.
Retired Military with Retired Military Identification.
Active Reservists with Military Identification.
Active National Guard with Military Identification.
Active or Retired Law Enforcement with Official Agency Credentials.
Court Officers with Official Agency Credentials or Official Documentation.
State / County / City Coroners with Official Agency Credentials or Official Documentation.
Full Time First Responders with Current Credentials or Official Documentation.
EMT’s, Firefighters, Volunteer Firefighters, and Paramedics. "

Buds Gun Shop will give Veterans the QP price on Sig firearms if there is one you really want.
 
Is this just a name change from their Armed Professional Program, which has been around for a while?

Proven Arms website lists prices for a few LE/MIL discount programs, including SIG, Beretta, FN, IWI, Springfield, and S&W. Springfield seems to be the only one who offers a discount to veterans without being retired or disabled, so I guess the rest can be added to the boycott lists. :rolleyes:

Veterans can buy Blue Label Glocks from local Blue Label dealers and the S&W American Guardian Program includes honorably discharged veterans.
 
look on the bright side - even if they don't give discounts to veterans, they still give discounts to nra instructors
 
As a non-military guy, would this not cover veterans?

“Retired Military with Retired Military Identification.”

No. I'm not a veteran, but I believe it works like this: Anyone who served in the military and was discharged (other than dishonorable) is a veteran. But merely serving out your enlistment does not make you "retired military".
I found this definition:
A military retiree is any member or former member of the uniformed services who is entitled, under statute, to retired, retirement, or retainer pay on account of service as a member, or who receives military retired or retainer pay.

Correct. With some exceptions, military retirees generally serve a minimum of 20 years and get get both pay and medical coverage after retiring. People who join the military but choose to get out before that time are not considered retired, and don't get those benefits.
 
Thanks. I had assumed it was basically equivalent of anyone with an honorable discharge. Good to know the difference!
