The Berber Factor

Founded on Fleece

Blocker Outdoors’ new Shield Solstice Jacket and Pant provide the maximum in midseason warmth, comfort, fit, finish, and performance.

MUSKEGON, MI (July 19, 2023) – Fleece is an ambiguous thing. If a garment features fleece, the immediate perception is comfort and warmth. But oftentimes, nothing could be farther from the truth. Fleece can be flat and devoid of any loft. It can also be of such a deplorable grade that the material balls with minimal use and turns into a pancake after washing and drying.

Then there’s true Berber fleece, the material used in Blocker Outdoors’ new Shield Solstice Jacket and Pant. Berber fleece is constructed when yarn is knitted into fabric and wire brushed to pull the material together and fluff it up. The result is a material that has a looped, soft pile, with large air pockets that is comfortable and yields insulation. It instantly feels warm on contact and continues to retain that warmth.

That’s the material you’ll find lining the new Shield Solstice Jacket and Pant.

Developed as midseason field-wear for whitetail and western hunters, Shield Solstice is exceptionally comfortable and free of bulk. Moreover, the jacket and pants are remarkably quiet, keeping the sound down and game closer.

Externally, hunters will appreciate the smooth and soft poly shell, which functions in unison with the internal Berber fleece. And, that exterior fabric features the popular Mossy Oak Terra Outland camouflage pattern, which is an exclusive to the Blocker Outdoors and ScentLok brands. 

Mossy Oak Terra Outland

Physical features go off the rails, too, beginning with a Lycra-bound hood and cuffs for comfort and fit. The ergonomic hood also sports a 4-inch collar with full zipper for added protection from the wind and weather. Pocket-wise, there’s a pair of zippered pockets for warming your hands or storing small items. Additionally, a zippered chest pocket is ideal for a smartphone.

The Shield Solstice Pant are designed to move with you. Articulated knees and an inner thigh gusset promote mobility. Silicone grip on the rear waist keeps your torso coverings in place. And an array of five pockets stand ready to accommodate essential gear. Pockets include two waist, two cargo, and one on the back hip. 

The Shield Solstice Jacket and Pant thwart odors with Blocker Outdoors’ exclusive S3® anti-microbial finish, where silver ions bind to and penetrate the surface of odor-causing bacteria on contact. Silver ions disrupt the microbe’s DNA, preventing the formation of odor to keep your garments fresher, longer.

The outer fabric is also treated with a water repellent hydrophobic coating (DWR), which forces water to bead up and roll off the surface to defend against saturation.

All-in-all, the new Shield Solstice Jacket and Pant establish a new, higher rung for midseason hunting apparel. 

Shield Solstice FEATURES:

  • Smooth, quiet polyester outer shell
  • Authentic Berber fleece lining for insulation and comfort
  • Lycra-bound hood and cuffs for comfort
  • S3® anti-microbial finish to prevent odors
  • DWR treatment sheds light moisture
  • Ergonomic hood with a 4-knch collar for added coverage
  • Three pockets for storage and warmth (Jacket)
  • Silicone grip on rear waist keeps clothes in place (Pant)
  • Articulated knees and inner thigh gusset for mobility (Pant)
  • Five pockets for storage (Pant)
  • MSRP $149.99 (Jacket) and $149.99 (Pant)

Nexus Outdoors, headquartered in Muskegon, MI, USA, is a leading worldwide designer, marketer and distributor of performance, hunting and casual odor-controlling apparel, footwear and equipment under the ScentLok Technologies®, OZ®, Blocker Outdoors®, Whitewater, Hard Core® Waterfowl Hunting Apparel and Tree Spider® brands.

In a Class of its Own: The Adept Armor Thunder, the Lightest Level 3+ Body Armor Plate


In a Class of its Own: The Adept Armor Thunder, the Lightest Level 3+ Body Armor Plate

An unprecedented balance of protection and mobility, the patent-pending Adept Armor Thunder, at just 3.45 lbs., is nearly 20 percent lighter than any other plate in its class.

Tulsa, Okla. (July 2023)Adept Armor, an armor system engineering firm, introduces the Thunder body armor RF2/Level 3+ plate – a lightweight torso plate that offers class-leading protection at an ultra-light weight of just 3.45 pounds at 10×12”.

For several years, Adept Armor has been researching advanced silicate strike-face materials to develop the ultimate in lightweight body armor plates. This culminated in the development of Amorphoid – a low-density/high-hardness glass-ceramic material which can outperform conventional ceramic and metallic strike-face materials in plates designed to stop “light AP” and steel-cored ball rounds.

Amorphoid is indefinitely stable and insensitive to extremes of heat, cold, and pressure. It is ceramic-like, but inherently lighter – roughly 12% less dense than boron carbide and 30% less dense than silicon carbide – and it can be made in very thin monolithic tile profiles.

Integrating the latest Amorphoid technology into the design and production of the new Thunder armor plates, Adept Armor has achieved the goal of producing the lightest weight body armor plate on the market today, without sacrificing its ability to attain full RF2/Level 3+ performance. The patent-pending Thunder integrates Amorphoid, a chemically-treated, phase-change silicate core, making it 15% lighter than its nearest competitor, and more than 25% lighter than the average plate in its category, while offering complete protection from all common rifle threats.

Previous to the Thunder body armor plate, customers had a choice between a lightweight plate, but without the ability to stop M855 or analogous steel-core threats; or the heavy ceramic-faced or steel plates which would stop steel-core threats. There was no one-plate-fits-all available, until now. The 10-inch by 12-inch SAPI-style multicurve Thunder plate offers the best of both worlds; protection from steel-core threats in a lightweight platform comparable to the polyethylene plates. The full-sized Thunder strike-face offers full edge-to-edge Amorphoid coverage.

“We believe that the design and development of an armor plate is a problem defined by its specification – in this case RF2 – to which there must be a theoretically optimal solution. Given the current state of materials science, the Thunder plate is the optimal solution in its category – and it will eventually come to define the upper-bound of performance in that category. Its development required novel materials and methods, of which we’re very proud,” commented Jake Ganor, CEO of Adept Armor.

Adept Armor’s new Thunder body armor plate leads the industry in combining superior threat protection with lightweight, maneuverable body armor systems. The Thunder is ideal for military use in low-intensity threat environments, and for police and security personnel, as well as citizens looking to protect themselves and their families from a broad spectrum of rifle threats, without weighing themselves down.

Adept Armor Thunder Specifications:

  • Weight: 3.45 lbs..
  • Thickness: 1.17 inch
  • Materials: Amorphoid -UHMWPE composite
  • Curvature: Multi-curved to military SAPI specifications
  • Size: 10-inch by 12-inch with full edge-to-edge Amorphoid coverage

Ballistic rating:

  • RF2 rated for:
  • 7.62x39mm MSC
  • 5.56x45mm M193
  • 5.56x45mm M855/SS109
  • 7.62x51mm M80 Ball
  • 7.62x54mmR LPS
  • And similar and lesser threats.
  • MSRP: $550.00

GENESEO, ILL. (07/18/23) – New from Springfield Armory® is the Model 2020 Redline, a lightweight and easy to maneuver bolt-action rifle. Embracing attributes of the classic scout rifle, the new Model 2020 Redline takes the concept into the 21st century with the use of modern materials and cutting-edge design. The result is a lightweight and compact rifle ready for hunts where every ounce counts.

Designed to deliver a lightweight, custom-grade hunting rifle, the Model 2020 Redline is available chambered in .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor. Offered with a choice of 16” or 20” carbon fiber-jacketed barrels, the threaded muzzle as well as the compact dimensions of the rifle — with an overall length as short as 36.5” — make the Redline an ideal host for a suppressor on your next backcountry hunt.

Further enhancing the capabilities and light weight of the Redline is the use of a unique skeletonized Grayboe Trekker stock, combining light weight with unyielding performance. With an overall weight of just 28 ounces, the stock features an adjustable length of pull system — featuring .25” adjustment increments, with a range of 13.25” to 14.25” and adjustable up to 16” with additional spacers — for customizing it for a perfect fit. In addition, the stock features three sling studs — one in the rear and two in the front — as well as lightening cuts in both the forend and the radically relieved buttstock.

Also of note is the fact the stock features an integral bubble level/thumb rest located at the rear of the action. Rather than being positioned atop the scope, the location of the bubble level in the stock ensures you wring out maximum downrange performance from the rifle without having to break your cheekweld or lose your sight line through your optic.

The heart of the Redline is the Model 2020 action, precision manufactured from premium materials. It features dual locking lugs on a fluted bolt that runs smoothly down EDM raceways for perfect, repeatable engagement. In addition, an optimized extraction cam provides robust, reliable operation in any condition.

The free-floated BSF barrel of the Model 2020 Redline is jacketed in a roll-wrapped carbon fiber sleeve and loaded under tension. This means 95 percent of the carbon fiber sleeve doesn’t contact the barrel. In addition, fluting under the sleeve reduces weight and increases surface cooling area. Topping off the threaded muzzle is an SA Radial Brake to help minimize muzzle rise and ensure fast follow-up shots. A thread protector is also included.

The Redline features a TriggerTech® trigger with a low-profile, non-snag safety. Employing the company’s Frictionless Release Technology™, it’s adjustable from 2.5 – 5 lbs. with a patented, free-floating roller. And the high-quality trigger helps coax the best possible accuracy out of the rifle, which Springfield Armory guarantees with a rock-solid .75 MOA accuracy guarantee — for a three-shot group at 100 yards with quality match-grade factory ammunition, in the hands of a skilled shooter.

In addition, a partnership program with Silencer Central® offers all purchasers of Model 2020 Redline rifles — where legally applicable — a free $200 “Tax Stamp” for acquiring a Banish 30 suppressor through that company. The svelte lines and quick handling characteristics of the Redline make the Banish Backcountry .30-caliber titanium suppressor in particular a great partner for the rifle.

“The Model 2020 Waypoint set the standard for precision manufacturing, performance and accuracy from a premium, American-made rifle,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Amory. “The new Model 2020 Redline continues that tradition by offering backcountry hunters a rifle perfectly suited to their demanding needs.”

Precision manufactured for performance and reliability, the Model 2020 Redline is perfectly suited for backcountry hunts where days are measured in miles. MSRP of all variants of the Redline is $2,299.

Lauderdale, FL – July 18, 2023 – FALCO® Holsters, globally recognized for exceptional artisanship in every handcrafted, purpose-built leather holster, announces a new shoulder holster combining premium, full-grain Italian leather with Kydex for comfortable firearm concealment.

Leaders in City Government, Law Enforcement and Hunter Education Join NSSF to Launch "Project ChildSafe Galveston"

July 18, 2023

Leaders in City Government, Law Enforcement and Hunter Education Join NSSF to Launch “Project ChildSafe Galveston”

Community-led effort focuses on promoting secure firearm storage, including free gun lock distribution, to help prevent firearm-related accidents, thefts and misuse, including suicide.

PCS Galveston Launch

GALVESTON, TexasNSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, and Galveston Mayor Craig Brown, along with City Councilmembers Marie Robb and Sharon Lewis, Galveston Police Chief Doug Balli, representatives from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Galveston Parks and Recreation and the local hunting and shooting sports community gathered today to launch a citywide firearm safety initiative, “Project ChildSafe Galveston.”

The press conference was followed by two gun lock distribution events where Galveston residents could pick up free Project ChildSafe® gun locks and safety kits at local community centers, no questions asked.

“Educating gun owners on secure storage does more than prevent tragic accidents,” Mayor Brown said. “It helps prevent firearms from being stolen and used in crimes, and as result, it makes our whole community safer.”

NSSF is providing thousands of firearm safety kits that include a gun lock and safety brochure to local organizations and Galveston residents through its Project ChildSafe initiative, which focuses on helping prevent firearm accidents, thefts and misuse, and emphasizes the importance of secure firearm storage to suicide prevention efforts. Other local partners include:

  • · Texas Senator Mayes Middleton
  • · La Marque Police Department
  • · Chris Allen, Founder of Hoodneck
  • · Galveston Gals Firearms Training
  • · A Girl and A Gun
  • · 4-H
  • · The Texas Gun Club
  • · U.S. Concealed Carry Association
  • · Heidi Rao, a local hunter education specialist.

“We’re doing this because we know secure gun storage works – firearm accidents are preventable,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF’s President and CEO. “Fatal firearm accidents are at historic lows, and that’s a trend we want to see continue in the right direction. That starts with a community-shared responsibility and emphasis on firearm safety. We’re grateful to Mayor Brown along with Galveston’s city leaders and all our local partners for taking on this initiative.”

In addition to the free gun locks, NSSF will support the initiative by providing law enforcement agencies and other partners with free resources on gun safety in the home and in vehicles, an overview of safe storage options such as lock boxes and safes, tips for safe handling of firearms, hunting safety and other topics. These efforts will be complemented by billboards and social media ads urging residents to be responsible gun owners, and directing them to local partners, including the Galveston PD, for resources.

“The vast majority of gun crimes involve stolen firearms, so by properly securing firearms you’re not only protecting yourself and your family, you’re protecting your neighbors and making our community safer,” said Galveston Police Chief Doug Balli.

The PD will have free locks available upon request, and free locks will also be available at the McGuire-Dent Recreation Center at 2222 28th Street, and the Wright Cuney Recreation Center at 718 41st Street while supplies last.

Since 1999, the program has provided more than 40 million free firearm safety kits and gun locks to firearm owners in all 50 states through partnerships with thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country. That’s in addition to the more than 70 million free locking devices manufacturers have included, and continue to include, with new firearms sold since 1998. While helping to prevent accidents among children is a focus, Project ChildSafe is intended to help adults practice greater firearm safety in the home. More information is available at projectchildsafe.org.

The Art Of Torquing Action Screws: A Guide For Precision Shooters

Action screws that are either too loose or too tight can affect the rifle’s accuracy. Loose screws can allow the action to move in the stock under recoil, while overtightened screws can potentially warp or stress the action.

Applying the correct torque to your action screws is essential to maintaining optimal performance and preventing damage to your firearm.

U.S. Patriot Bravery Tour is Entering the Final Five with a Stop at Fort Bliss, Texas

U.S. Patriot Bravery Tour is Entering the Final Five with a Stop at Fort Bliss, Texas

The second largest US Army installation also has the largest contiguous tract of unrestricted airspace in the US, used for artillery training and missile testing.

Lexington, KY (July 2023)U.S. Patriot, a GALLS® company, and one of the largest military suppliers of uniforms, boots, and gear, are heading into its final five military bases from its 25-military base, 6800-mile U.S. Patriot Bravery Tour. The tour was designed to stop at military bases to meet U.S. Patriot customers face-to-face, partly to pay respects to the men and women who serve, and partly to understand their customer base better.

The USP team is driving a 2023 Jeep® Wrangler Willys 4×4 that is part of the Bravery Tours promotion, in which, at each stop the team will offer food, drink, promos, giveaways, and more. The event will be held on Friday, July 21, 2023, at the Fort Bliss base exchange at Bldg. 1611 Haan and Marshall Road. The event is open to all former and current military members and their families.

“The purpose of this tour is to meet our customers face-to-face, get to know our troops, and bring their voice directly into how we serve them better for their tactical gear needs.,” Mike Fadden, CEO of U.S. Patriot, said. “There is no better way to honor the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women who serve our country than to meet them in person, celebrate their stories and create a fun and memorable event they can enjoy with their families.”

The tour will be interactive, and the military service members will be encouraged to leave their unit’s memorabilia on the Jeep, making it one-of-its-kind by the end of the tour. At the conclusion of the tour, the Jeep will be given away through a sweepstake random drawing to one lucky winner. All active-duty military members, national guard members, reservists, military retirees, military veterans, and dependents of active-duty military members are eligible to enter the sweepstakes. No purchase is necessary.

GA-ASI’S UNMANNED AIRCRAFT CROSS 8 MILLION FLIGHT HOURS

New MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian® Models Add More Than 4,000 Hours

SAN DIEGO – 14 July 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA‑ASI) today announced that its family of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), which includes the Predator®, Reaper, Gray Eagle, Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian® lines, has surpassed eight million flight hours. GA-ASI aircraft have completed 566,000 total missions in nearly 40 countries around the world.

Adding to the total are 13 MQ-9B SkyGuardian/SeaGuardian UAS that have flown more than 4,000 flight hours, including the new Protector RG Mk1 being delivered to the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force. The first three Protectors are currently undergoing Integrated Test, Evaluation, and Acceptance trials. In addition, MQ-9Bs are being operated by the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) and Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force (JMSDF), as well as supporting various U.S. Navy exercises.

“GA-ASI continues to be a leader in developing reliable, cost-efficient, and sustainable unmanned aircraft systems that perform advanced operations for our customers around the world,” said GA-ASI CEO Linden P. Blue. “Eight million flight hours is another achievement on our list of historic firsts, which demonstrates our relentless commitment to quality.”

The exact aircraft and customer that achieved the milestone is unknown, as it’s estimated that more than 50 Predator-class Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MALE) RPA are airborne worldwide every moment of every day.

GA-ASI aircraft average 40,000 hours per month, supporting programs with the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, NASA, the Italian Air Force, the UK Royal Air Force, the French Air Force, the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces, the Spanish Air Force, the Royal Netherlands Air Force, the Indian Navy, the Polish Air Force, JCG, JMSDF, and others, with more customers coming online soon. Missions include helping protect ground units on the battlefield, supporting first responders in the wake of natural disasters, and providing critical ISR around the world. These aircraft systems continue to maintain some of the highest mission-capable rates in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army aircraft inventories.

GA-ASI has produced more than 1,000 aircraft and nearly 500 Ground Control Stations (GCS) in more than three decades of business. In addition to UAS and GCS, GA-ASI produces Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) systems, as well as sensor payloads that deliver radar and video imagery, detect moving targets on the ground and over water, and provide Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) on signals of interest. GA-ASI has also developed a Detect and Avoid (DAA) system to facilitate the safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems into civil airspace in addition to combat environments.

The Predator-series family includes Predator A and Predator XP, Predator B/MQ-9A Reaper, Predator B Extended Range (ER), Guardian, Gray Eagle, Gray Eagle ER, Predator C Avenger/ER, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian/SeaGuardian.

Tactical Games Return to Iowa

Tactical Games Return to Iowa, Hosted by Brownells

GRINNELL, Iowa (July 14, 2023) – The Tactical Games returns to Iowa, with 180 competitors scheduled to compete at the Big Springs Range in Searsboro, Iowa, July 15 and 16.

Founded in 2018, the Tactical Games combines shooting with active physical fitness — as competitors perform physical challenges including runs, obstacle courses and weightlifting before engaging targets at various distances with rifles and pistols — all under time.

Competitors are organized into different divisions based on experience, age, sex and skill level.

Hosted by Brownells, the July 2023 games marks the second time the Tactical Games has operated a competition in the Hawkeye State, less than a year after the inaugural Iowa edition of the games back in October 2022.

“We are very happy to be part of the Tactical Games again,” said Brownells CEO Pete Brownell.  “The Tactical Games challenges athletes to be excellent in many different activities from running and lifting, to climbing and shooting.  The intensity is inspiring and the community spirit is awesome. It’s a perfect partnership, and we hope folks come watch these games at Big Springs range this Saturday and Sunday”

Spectators are welcome during the two-day event, and there will be parking available at the Big Springs Shooting Complex located at 4945 IA-146 near Searsboro.

Spectators are strongly encouraged to bring their own eye and ear protection, as there will be ongoing live fire on the various ranges at Big Springs throughout the Tactical Games

About The Tardigrade:

The Tardigrade is the next evolution of our X-Comp pistol from previous years.  Starting from a blank slide we wanted to offer simple function mixed with our own look offering a design at the front end that is similar to our best-selling comps, profiling the slide in a way that utilizes a winged comp helps blend the two together for a more seamless look as well as the function of a captured design.  The comp has seen many iterations in testing over the years and with some port geometry changes we are able to squeeze a small amount of performance out over our standard ultra comps by changing port angles and efficiency.

• PMM machined “builder” slide in DLC finish (RMR, SRO or Acro cuts offered)*
• New Comp only available on these builds
• New and improved in-house P320 barrel
• Aggressive stipple package on TXG frame with magwell

Switchback Carbon Tripod + Ball Head

VORTEX® INTRODUCES NEW SWITCHBACK™ CARBON TRIPOD

July 13, 2023

BARNEVELD, Wis. – Developed for hunters and competitive shooters who need a compact, yet super-stable platform for precision shooting and backcountry glassing. The Switchback™ Carbon Tripod delivers a superior strength-to-weight ratio to support heavy rifles, spotting scopes, and large binoculars.
Weighs just 4.6 lbs. Folded length just 29”. Designed with no center column for more adjustability, it goes from a minimum height of 5.8” to a max height of 65”. A thoughtfully placed counterweight hook lets you hang extra weight to deaden vibration. Detachable rubber and spiked feet for gripping any type of ground. Rugged carbon fiber legs, lockable ball head, an Arca-Swiss standard quick-release mount means you can transition from glassing to solid-shooting mode in seconds.
And there’s more:

  • CARBON FIBER LEG CONSTRUCTION for rugged strength without the weight
  • 44 LBS. MAX LOAD to stand solid under precision rifles and heavy optics
  • 3 TWIST-LOCK LEG SECTIONS for quick adjustment
  • 3-ANGLE LEG PIVOT LOCKS for multiple heights and secure set up
  • LOCKABLE BALL HEAD eliminates point-of-aim shift when tightened

Shooting under, over, or through obstacles. Standing, kneeling, sitting, or prone. The Switchback™ Carbon Tripod (MSRP: $799.99, MAP: $599.99) lets you build a fast, solid glassing and shooting position from the ground up, no matter what stage of the match or phase of your hunt.
The Switchback™ Carbon Tripod can be used with any 1/4″-20 or 3/8″-16 threaded tripod head with use of the
Switchback™ Carbon Tripod Head Adapter (MSRP: $39.99, MAP: $29.99), which is sold separately.

Are You Remote ID Ready?

Learn how to be Remote ID ready

Remote ID Header

Beginning September 16, 2023, all drone pilots required to register their drone must operate under the Remote Identification (ID) rule by operating:

A Standard Remote ID Drone – a drone produced with built-in Remote ID broadcast capabilities; or
A Drone with a Remote ID Broadcast Module – a device with Remote ID broadcast capabilities that can be attached to a drone; or
At an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA) – areas where drones without Remote ID broadcast capabilities can operate. Only
FAA-recognized community based organizations and educational institutions may request a FRIA through FAADroneZone.

Is Your Drone or Broadcast Module Remote ID Ready?

Go to the FAA UAS Declaration of Compliance website
Click on “View Public DOC List”
Filter by “RID”
Search for your drone or broadcast module

If your drone or broadcast module is NOT listed, you may only fly in a FRIA.

Is Your Drone Registration Remote ID Ready?

If your drone or broadcast module is listed on the Public DOC List, you need to register or update your existing drone registration through FAADroneZone to include the Standard Remote ID drone or Remote ID broadcast module serial number.
Recreational pilots may register once and apply that unique registration number to multiple aircraft. This allows a recreational pilot to move a Remote ID broadcast module from drone to drone as long as it is listed on the same registration.
Part 107 pilots need to register each Standard Remote ID drone or Remote ID broadcast module separately, which means each one will get a unique registration number.
Visit our
Remote ID webpage to learn more about drone registration.

Have more questions? We’re here to help at the UAS Support Center or call us at 844-FLY-MY-UA (844-359-6982).

NSSF Challenges Hawaii’s Public Nuisance Law

July 13, 2023

NSSF Challenges Hawaii’s Public Nuisance Law

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, filed a legal challenge against Hawaii’s recently-enacted public nuisance law, which – unless it is enjoined – will allow frivolous lawsuits against members of the firearm industry for the criminal and negligent misuse of firearms by remote third parties. NSSF alleges the law is designed to evade the judgment of the U.S. Supreme Court and laws enacted by Congress.

“Hawaii is attempting to subvert the will of Congress when the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) was passed with a wide bipartisan majority in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate and signed into law by President George W. Bush,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Public nuisance laws like Hawaii’s are nothing short of an attempt to drive ‘legislation through litigation,’ which is exactly why Congress passed PLCAA in the first place. These laws are unconstitutional and an abuse of the legal system to force a political agenda outside the legislative channels.”

Hawaii’s HB 426, signed into law by Gov. Josh Green, attempts to regulate firearm industry products produced outside of Hawaii by requiring the industry to adhere to an undefined and unenforceable set of “reasonable controls.” The law allows state officials and private parties to bring civil actions against firearm industry members for damages resulting from the criminal misuse of firearms or ammunition by a remote third party. This is not in keeping with the intent of PLCAA; rather, it is exactly what the PLCAA was designed to prevent.

Hawaii is attempting to resurrect the same sort of frivolous lawsuits that states and local governments attempted in the late 1990s and early 2000s, which led to Congress passing PLCAA. The PLCAA was signed into law because Congress knew antigun politicians were using the courts as an end-round to circumvent the lawmaking process. The irony was certain elected officials then – and now – oppose the PLCAA because it blocked their “attempt to circumvent the Legislative branch of government” and “would expand civil liability in a manner never contemplated by the framers of the Constitution.”

The PLCAA does nothing more than codify black letter tort law. The law simply says that these agenda-driven lawsuits can’t be brought against a manufacturer or retailer that had nothing to do with the criminal or wrongful misuse of their product.

NSSF Range-Retailer Business Expo Thanks Attendees and Sponsors

NSSF Range-Retailer Business Expo Thanks Attendees and Sponsors

MILWAUKEE — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, wrapped up its fourth Range-Retailer Business Expo on July 12 after providing two and a half days of buying and professional development opportunities at this premier gathering for entrepreneurs, startups and established firearm range and retail operators.

“We appreciate the hundreds of industry professionals who attended the NSSF Range-Retailer Business Expo, and we’re grateful to our sponsors who helped make this unique industry event a success,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Director, Member Development.

For exhibitors, the Range-Retailer Business Expo provided companies and organizations a great mid-year opportunity to write orders while showcasing their products and services to the nation’s leading shooting range operators and firearm retailers.

“We had a good experience at the Expo meeting new vendors and greeting existing customers,” said Dennette Stellrecht of Henry Repeating Arms.

“My husband and I own an indoor shooting range and we’re looking to purchase another store and doing our homework. We’re always looking at new software upgrades to improve our operations, and the Expo provides a great opportunity to see many products. We also enjoyed the classes on promotions and building business in slow times,” said Shannon Halsrud of Central-Iowa Impact.

“We were busy and met a lot of people. The setup of the show gives us time to have great conversations that lead to connections and sales,” said Mason Olsgard of Grizzy Coolers.

The format of the Expo appeals to many attendees because it provides time for meaningful conversations about business problem-solving. It also provided an opportunity to connect with those looking to build their ranges and retailer outlets and are seeking guidance on expanding or establishing their business.

NSSF looks forward to seeing exhibitors and attendees at the 2024 Range-Retailer Business Expo when it returns to sunny Florida.
