If it's like the rest of the country, there's a big run on sales and the number of suppliers has dropped. Local news covered a Army/Navy store that still had flags with customers driving 250 miles to get a stars and bars. The report said 2 of their 3 suppliers were no longer carrying confederate flags. In NC the number of Sons of Confederate Veterans vanity plates is set at 5000. 2600 were issued. They have 3000 new applications since Charleston. To get a plate you have to prove your lineage to a Civil War vet. Our governor, from Charlotte, wants to eliminate the plates. I guess he doesn't expect to run for public office in NC and win!

DCP, did you read or find this info on the page for ordering from them. For your convenience and immediate viewing, I have copied and pasted the info here. The Cooter's site, makes it very clear they are overwhelmed and working hard. I think a little patience might be in order, but most of today's society wants it right now.

Ok let see if I am one of those that wants it now
There already over their own 14 day delay
They haven’t answered my email . There certainly not too busy shipping
I had their tell #, it is either busy or when they answer the mail box is full
New price is 24.99. I paid 14.99 almost a 169% increase.

So I am one of those that wants it now ,or do I want a business to have good communication and let me know the truth and be able to answer my ?s.

Not quite sure why, but a few years back when I was in northern Quebec, many of the transfer trucks had Confederate flag bug guards on the grills of their trucks. Made me wonder if they even knew what it was, or if they were just cheaper than the others at the time?

It's ironical that those,, so over joyed by the removal of a so called hate symbol, have create so much hate with the action.
I had removed my confederate flag front bumper plate many years ago. Guess where it is proudly displayed now.

Local news covered a rally of trucks flying the stars and bars. They met at the Wal-Mart in Dunn. Wal-Mart ask them to leave because customers were complaining. One fella said he could hardly contain his anger from seeing the flags. I didn't see any lumps nor blood so I figure he found enough constraint. They drove up to Smithfield/Selma without incident. This is the second rally in the past 2 weeks.

I'll have to ride over to the surrender grounds at the Appomattox Court House National Park and see if they have removed the flags from the graves of those buried there. I have heard that the Feds said they would remove all confederate flags from the federal bldgs etc. I wonder when they will take down the American flag for all they did to the native American Indians?

Please, I'm very interested to hear about this. There has been talk of removing confederate flags from grave markers at the veterans cemetery in Raleigh.

It looks like PayPal has jumped on the bandwagon too. This site comes up with this message as soon as you add a flag to your cart.

Thet are talking about it in the House of Representatives, and Boehner is for it.

Meanwhile, activists are advocating that their 'followers' come to your house and take yours.

Morons stealing flags from people are asking to be shot! And someone will do it!

DCP

If you shoot someone for stealing your flag your going to go to jail.
That being said this is really a dumb Idea because with the price of flags they will end end up in jail with major charges!

The hate mongers that adopted OUR flag to use in hateful ways, have caused other folks to rob us of a liberty. This in turn has created more hate and devisevness, among folks who formally couldn't care less.
This thing is spiraling out of control.

As of Monday night (7-13-15) the battle flags of the Army of Northern Va. are still flying on the graves of the Confederates and the American Flag is on the grave of the Union Soldier. I'm going to protest the American flag as it pains me to think of the agony and atrocities suffered by the Native American Indians during the hostile takeover by illegal immigrants, aka "Americans"? Before someone raids my post, c'mon what's the difference?

Order update:
I just got a call from Cooters Garage. They are running flags like crazy, and told me that my order will take another three weeks, so if I did not mind, they were going to upgrade my 3x5 flags (2) to the 5x8 for no charge!!! I told her that I thought this was not necessary, and if she wanted she could wait even a month, as they were to be a gift, and I was in no hurry. She stated that she did not care about that and could she please upgrade me with the $70 savings to me? (?????) How can I refuse? I guess my flags will be here on Monday.

I just thought that I would share this information.

Kind of interesting not many here viewed flying a flag of there "heritage" so important now when they did not three months ago.
Just tell Bubba he can't do something to get him off his butt to show some rebellion:)

Compare and contrast. The shooting in Chatanooga vs the shooting in South Carolina. The NE Ivy League ruling caste hates Southern culture so takes any opportunity to slander the Southern people but can't bring themselves to acknowledge a real enemy.

Here is some more Confederate flag information.

When the controversy over the Confederate flag erupted last month, the owner of a Huntsville flag company said her business would make the flags even if no one else would.

And that’s apparently what’s happened.

“I’m not aware of another company in the United States making these flags,” said Belinda Kennedy, owner of Alabama Flag & Banner, in an interview Thursday with AL.com.

So now you know why the website for the Governors Drive business near downtown Huntsville cautions visitors that all Confederate flag orders will take two to three weeks to be filled.

Is it legal in Tennessee for varmint hunters to shoot over a baited area?
