U.S. LawShield® President to Discuss Constitutional Carry on Gun Talk®
U.S. LAWSHIELD® PRESIDENT KIRK EVANS TO DISCUSS CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY ON TOM GRESHAM’S GUN TALK®
What does it mean for you?
Houston, Texas – April 7, 2022 – U.S. LawShield®, industry leader and America’s largest provider of Legal Defense for Self Defense® coverage, proudly announces U.S. LawShield President Kirk Evans as a guest on Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk® radio program to discuss permitless carry, also known as constitutional carry, in the U.S. The show airs live on Sunday, April 10, at 2:30 PM ET.
“Permitless or constitutional carry is on the minds of many Americans with the recent passage of legislation in Indiana, Ohio, and Alabama,” stated Evans. “With Georgia on deck to become the 25th state to make it law, people need to know what it means for them.”
“Lawful gun owners face potential risks as they reside in and travel through states with changing carry laws if they don’t understand how they apply to them,” said Evans. “We’ll discuss a broad overview of carry issues, plus which states are currently fighting for permitless carry and the educational Legislative Tour happening across the state of Georgia.”
Evans has more than 25 years of experience practicing law in Texas, focused on self-defense cases and constitutional issues across the country. He has represented gun owners, instructors, ranges, and law enforcement and has reviewed and analyzed hundreds of self-defense cases in the U.S. He is the author of several firearms legal publications, including Texas Gun Law: Armed And Educated. Evans frequently speaks on civil liability associated with gun ownership, including the FBI CAAA Active Shooter Seminar and the NRA Foundation Banquet.

IWI expands the reliable ACE family and launches the 7.62X51mm Ace Sniper S.A Rifle
IWI expands the reliable ACE family and launches the 7.62X51mm Ace Sniper S.A Rifle
The Semi-Automatic Ace features an innovative design, enabling fast and accurate firing at multiple targets, even at long distances
FIDAE, Santiago, Chile, 5 -10 April 2022, stand # D 01
5 April 2022, Ramat-Hasharon, Israel: IWI – Israel Weapon Industry – a member of the SK Group founded by Mr. Samy Katsav, and worldwide leader in the production of combat-proven small arms for governments, armies, and law enforcement agencies around the world – announces the launch of the Ace Sniper S.A Rifle. Based on the reliable, proven platform of the known Galil-Ace, the semi-automatic rifle with its advanced ergonomics design provides the user with the greatest accuracy and rapid engagement, even in harsh environmental and weather conditions.
The innovative rifle empowers sniper proficiency in accurate long-distance firing, while its semi-automatic capability enables multi-target acquisition and fast shooting towards multiple targets.
To ensure mission success, a number of advanced design features can be adapted to meet the needs of evolving situations and different users. A foldable butt stock with adjustable cheek-rest provides a superior fit for the individual shooter. The free-floating barrel – 23” hammer-forged, chrome-lined, with 1:9.5” twist – enhances accuracy and extends barrel longevity. The two-stage trigger enables the user to adjust trigger-pull to their personal preference, sending the heavier, longer-range 7.62 NATO round accurately downrange to the target, while facilitating a faster release of the next bullet. The muzzle brake mitigates recoil, so that the shooter can get back on target quicker.
Additional features include a full-length top Picatinny rail (460mm), along with M-Lock system at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, and an adjustable folding bipod that can easily be flipped into the required position, giving the shooter more flexibility to adjust to any shooting situation. The MIL.-STD magazine is easy to insert into the Sniper rifle and, with a capacity of 20 rounds, enables the user to be more effective over an extended period of time. The rifle is adaptable to all zoom riflescopes available today for medium to long-rang shooting. A locking mechanism prevents any harm or injury to the shooter in case of bullet explosion out of the chamber, and a bolt carrier tail prevents the hummer reaching the firing pin before locking has been completed.
“First and foremost, the development of the new sniper rifle meets the user’s need for fast and accurate operation, even in challenging and changing environments, such as CQB zones, and while vehicles are on the move,” says Ronen Hamudot, Executive VP Marketing and Sales at SK Group. “In addition to the advanced features like the adjustable butt, the floating barrel and the two-stage trigger mechanism, the sniper rifle also includes a safety mechanism for user protection. We are proud to share that the new rifle is already in use by clients around the world, and has already successfully completed missions in the field.”

Bond Arms Rough Series Double-Barrel Handguns
Bond Arms Rough Series Double-Barrel Handguns
Granbury, TX (April 5, 2022) – Bond Arms is known for its outstanding fit and finish on every gun they build. To create a more affordable option for budget-conscious customers without compromising features, Bond Arms trimmed down its finishing process. The Rough Series was born and included the Roughneck, Rowdy, and the newest addition, the Grizzly double-barrel guns. The result is a handgun with the same outstanding qualities inherent in every Bond Arms’ gun without all the frills.
Each Rough Series gun undergoes a quick clean-up and deburring to knock off the sharp edges. After the initial treatment, guns are bead blasted, giving them a rough finish. The parting lines in the metal frame and trigger guard add to the cool factor. Swirly tool marks on the barrels and tiny casting imperfections and rough areas add a unique individual character to these handguns. Built-in a fraction of the time compared to standard production models, the reduced labor cost of the Rough Series guns translates into huge savings for the customer.
The Rough Series Handguns
Bond Rough Series handguns include premium features found in all their double-barreled guns, like stainless-steel barrels and frames, cross-bolt safety, retracting firing pins, spring-loaded cam-lock lever and rebounding hammer. Rough Series guns use the same grade of stainless steel as all production models.
The Roughneck is a new type of Bond Arms’ gun. It’s built with a 2.5″ barrel, chambered for 9mm, 357/38 or 45ACP, and features a blade front sight and fixed rear sight. The compact handgun uses a textured rubber grip. The Roughneck works best with smooth-lined holsters. $269
At 5 inches long, the Rowdy is the ‘big brother’ in the line, chambered for the powerful .45 Long Colt, and 2½-inch .410 bore shotshells. A blade front sight and fixed rear sight mount directly on its 3-inch barrels. A smooth-lined holster works best. $299
The Grizzly features several upgrades from its Rowdy cousin. Vibrant rosewood grips engraved with grizzly bear artwork, the Bond Arms name and a checkered panel, add texture and character. The pistol includes a matching leather holster embossed with a grizzly bear. Its 3-inch barrels are chambered in .45 Long Colt, and 2½-inch .410 bore shotshells. $377
The Bond Arms Rough Series are compact and rugged handguns built with the same quality parts and materials as the other Bond Arms production models. The rough finish gives each pistol its unique charm.

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection. Originally organized under the name Texas Armory, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that’s both strong and durable.

NSSF Honors Sen. Chuck Grassley as Legislator of the Year
NSSF Honors Sen. Chuck Grassley as Legislator of the Year
NEWTOWN, Conn. — NSSF®, the firearm industry trade association, proudly honored U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) as the 2021 NSSF Legislator of the Year for his determined commitment to protect the firearm industry against special-interest and partisan attacks that would have threatened the lawful commerce of firearms in America and jeopardized the Constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.
Senator Grassley was instrumental in blocking gun control lobbyist David Chipman’s nomination to become Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Sen. Grassley’s thorough examination of Chipman’s record of gun control activism prevented Chipman, and the Biden administration, from turning the bureau charged with regulating the firearm industry into a bludgeon to advance gun control policies detrimental to a Constitutionally-protected industry and the customers it serves.
“We are honored to present Senator Grassley with the 2021 NSSF Legislator of the Year Award for his bold and unfailing leadership in the U.S. Senate to protect our industry from unwarranted special-interest attacks,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Senator Grassley is an unyielding champion of the firearm and ammunition industry on Capitol Hill. His thorough accounting of David Chipman’s gun control record was invaluable in exposing his lack of fitness to lead the ATF. Senator Grassley, through his service as Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, prevented the ATF from becoming a rubber stamp for radical gun control proposed by the Biden administration.”
Senator Grassley was unequivocal of his opposition to Chipman as ATF Director. In his opening remarks at the committee’s confirmation hearing, Sen. Grassley remarked of Chipman, “There isn’t a liberal hobby horse on guns he hasn’t ridden.” Sen. Grassley’s determination to expose Chipman’s lack of fitness for the nomination uncovered allegations of racial bias against fellow ATF agents. His demands for investigation records and clarifications from The White House, Department of Justice and Chipman himself, went unanswered. This proved Sen. Grassley’s instincts were correct and Chipman was not qualified to fulfill a position requiring special trust and confidence of a public official.
Due to Sen. Grassley’s steadfast opposition, The White House withdrew Chipman from consideration which preserved the ATF from unwarranted political interference. His demand for transparency from a special-interest gun control nominee prevented the firearm industry from being subjected to endless attacks. Sen. Grassley’s resolute clarity to prevent confirmation of this unqualified nominee stopped untold and irreparable damage to the ATF and the firearm industry which it is charged with regulating.

Olin Winchester Hosts Members of Congress in Washington, D.C., to Discuss the Value of the Shooting Sports and Shoot United™ Initiative
EAST ALTON, IL (April 5, 2022) — Last week, Olin Winchester hosted legislators and outdoor industry representatives at a special event in Washington, D.C., to discuss the positive impact of the shooting sports and hunting and responsible firearm ownership. This one-of-a-kind event also featured an introduction to Shoot United™, an initiative designed to engage individuals and families in shooting sports activities.
“This was an important event for Members of Congress to learn more about the current 60 million-plus target shooters in the U.S. and our initiative that will drive additional participation in all aspects of shooting sports,” said Scott Sutton, chairman, president and CEO of Olin Corporation. “The shooting sports offer so many benefits. It is time spent with family and friends in a safe and welcoming environment where all participants are equals on the range – and no one sits the bench.”
Keynote messages at the event included the positive impact of safe and responsible firearm ownership in the U.S.
“Over the past decade, we have seen more people than ever before turn to outdoor recreation, especially the shooting sports,” said Brett Flaugher, president of Winchester. “At the high school level, it’s one of the fastest-growing sports across the country. We see it firsthand. It’s safe. It’s fun. And it continues to grow. While millions of Americans already enjoy these activities, many more have an interest in getting started. They just need help understanding where to begin. Our mission with Shoot United is simple: educate and invite those who are not familiar with firearm ownership and activities to participate, so they can enjoy the sport.”
Members of the shooting sports community, including educators and sports professionals, also attended the event and shared the impact the shooting sports have had on their lives.
“There are countless individuals who have made the shooting sports a part of their lives, from Olympians and competitive sport shooters to high school athletes and coaches and families,” said Flaugher. “We were very proud to host them at the event to share their stories with this important audience. This is reality. These individuals are proof that the shooting sports, hunting and responsible firearm ownership contribute to our communities in many positive ways.”

Polymer80, Inc. Villainized by NBC News Article
Polymer80, Inc. Villainized by NBC News Article
DAYTON, Nev. (April 5, 2022) — An NBC News article titled “Polymer80’s name has become synonymous with ‘ghost guns.’ Now it’s in the crosshairs.” is an attempt to distort facts, sensationalize crime statistics and turn an innovative company into a villain.
Anti-Second Amendment politicians, advocacy groups and members of the media use the label “ghost gun” to strike fear and trick the public. Those individuals and groups want the public to believe that privately made firearms are synonymous with crime, even though thousands, if not millions, of Americans have lawfully engaged in this right and freedom for centuries. The truth is, there is a long, storied tradition of firearms use and innovation in America, including the freedom to participate in the build and customization of firearms. Americans have, for centuries, participated in this great tradition in compliance with federal, state, and local laws applicable to them.
Polymer80, Inc. has always operated — and will continue to operate — lawfully, in compliance with local, state and federal laws. Polymer80, Inc. will also continue to vigorously challenge encroachments and attacks on freedom, such as attempts to co-opt the term “ghost gun” for political purposes (whether it be through outright bans on privately made firearms or ill-conceived restrictions) or attack the Second Amendment and the rights of law-abiding Americans. Polymer80 stands ready to defend the constitutional rights of every American to engage their freedom.
About Polymer80: Polymer80, Inc. designs and develops innovative firearms, firearm-related products, and accessories. A cornerstone of its foundation is providing ways for customers to lawfully participate in the build process and practice the right to bear arms embedded in the U.S. Constitution. We summarize this with our motto of “Engage Your Freedom.” Find out more at www.polymer80.com.

ATN Corp. Shipping 9K Night and Thermal Optics to Ukraine
ATN Corp. receives expedited approval from US Government Agencies to ship thousands of thermal and night vision optics to the Ukrainian forces.
Shipment of ATN night vision and thermal optics bound for Ukraine.
Doral, Fla. (April 2022) – American Technology Network Company (ATN), an industry leader and innovative producer of Smart Optics for the 21st-century, in addition to night vision and thermal vision products, is pleased to announce shipments of approximately nine-thousand night vision and thermal optics being shipped to Ukrainian forces in an effort to help them in the field.
“It is with great pleasure that we are happy to announce the speedy approval from the State Department and the Department of Commerce, along with the requisite licensing, for the purposes of shipping almost nine-thousand night vision and thermal scopes and handheld optics for Ukrainian forces,” Marc Vayn, founder of ATN, Chairman, and CMO stated. “ATN has committed to making an unprecedented effort in this endeavor and is committed to shipping these units in the shortest time. Night optics are critical to the successful defense of Ukraine from the Russian invaders, and we are confident this will be a large step in improving the capabilities of the Ukrainian forces in the field.”
Included in the upcoming shipment is the ATN BinoX 4T, the Smart HD thermal binocular with laser rangefinder. The BinoX is a 4th generation bino with an ultra-sensitive sensor, 60 Hz with dual-core. It can record video, as well as several color palettes in black/hot and white/hot, as well as color modes, and with the press of a button, acquire range to target. The integrated laser rangefinder targets distances up to 1,000 y/m day or night.
Another product on its way to the Ukrainian forces is the ATN PS31-3 Night Vision Goggles. An essential piece of combat technology, the ATN PS31-3 is a dual night vision goggle system that has become a standard for operators and tactical units around the globe. New enhanced capabilities are found in the new design of the binoculars night vision device (BNVD), and its enhanced field of view (FOV) – now at 50 degrees, giving a tactical team a superior advantage in the field.
“Additional night vision and thermal products are also included in this shipment, all providing a tactical edge for the Ukrainian troops,” James Munn, CEO of ATN and US Army Veteran, added. “Since the outbreak of this travesty, ATN has worked tirelessly to provide safety for our employees in the war zone, as well as committing almost half a million dollars through various donation platforms to help the Ukrainian troops and people.”
Vayn, leading ATN efforts from the facility in Bulgaria, responded with gratitude to Florida (R-FL-25) Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart. “These invaluable shipments, however, would not be possible, but for the assistance of a great number of our friends and well-wishers, with a special thank you given to our Honorable Congressman, Mario Diaz-Balart. Thank you for helping to cut the time of the normal bureaucracy to a bare minimum. We, and the Ukrainian people, owe you a debt of gratitude.”

Southwick’s yearly survey compiled the feedback of over 11,000 hunters and recreational shooters.

We are also incredibly pleased to see that combined, CCI and Blazer make up more than 14% of handgun ammunition boxes purchased. This shows the large market share that these two storied brands have in our industry.”
In the handgun ammunition purchase survey, CCI and all its other affiliate brands proved to have a strong hold on the overall handgun ammunition market. All brands combined accounted for more than 32% of boxes purchased. Across this wide range of brands and product choices, any shooter is sure to find the perfect handgun ammunition option for practice, hunting, target shooting and self-defense.

When it comes to target shooting or hunting with rimfire cartridges, CCI continues to be a top-tier, go-to option for all types of shooters.

SR22 Pistol Safety Bulletin
Ruger has discovered that a small number of SR22® pistols may have right and left frame inserts that are not properly secured together. In rare circumstances, this condition may render certain internal safety mechanisms ineffective and the pistol has the potential to discharge upon decocking. Pistols that may be exhibiting this condition will intermittently exhibit a “slack” single-action trigger.
NOTE: A “slack” single-action trigger occurs if, while operating the pistol in single-action mode with a magazine inserted, the slide forward, and the manual safety disengaged, a trigger pull does not encounter resistance and the hammer does not fall.
Although only a very small number of pistols appear to be affected, Ruger is committed to safety and would like to examine all SR22 pistols that have ever exhibited a slack single-action trigger or discharged upon decocking.
Potentially affected pistols include any SR22 pistol with a serial number of 369-40078 or lower (including all SR22 pistols with a “SS” prefix). If your SR22 pistol has ever exhibited one of the conditions described above, you should immediately stop using your pistol and sign up for the Safety Retrofit as outlined in the Safety Bulletin. If you have never experienced either condition, your pistol is not affected by this Safety Bulletin.
Details about what to look for and how to sign up for the retrofit also appear on our website at Ruger.com/SR22Retrofit. The website also contains answers to Frequently Asked Questions, a video demonstrating the inspection process, and other information that you may find helpful.

The New Holosun HE509 Enclosed Mini Reflex Sight
PRIMARY ARMS® OPTICS RELEASES NEW CO-BRANDED HOLOSUN HE509 ENCLOSED MINI REFLEX SIGHT WITH ACSS® VULCAN® RETICLE
HOUSTON, TEXAS – Primary Arms Optics has released a new co-branded optic in partnership with Holosun: the HE509 Enclosed Mini Reflex Sight with ACSS® Vulcan® reticle.
The Holosun HE509 is one of the industry’s most popular enclosed mini reflex sights. Featuring Holosun’s ‘Super LED’, as well as the Multi-Reticle System, Solar Failsafe, and Shake Awake technology, the HE509 promises exceptional innovation for its price. The ruggedized aluminum housing protects the optic’s lens from drops and impacts, while its improved enclosed design protects the sight from ingress of moisture or obstruction.
The Holosun HE509 will be the first enclosed reflex sight to feature the Primary Arms Optics patented ACSS Vulcan reticle system, which made waves in 2021 for its entirely novel approach to sight acquisition. The Vulcan’s center aiming point is a 10 MOA chevron, which is surrounded by a large outer circle. When the optic is centered on a target at arm’s length, this circle falls outside the optic window, leaving only the center chevron for fine precision. If the user’s aim moves off target, the edge of the circle comes into view, guiding them back to center. It’s a unique approach to sight acquisition and aim correction, eliminating many of the challenges associated with mini reflex optics.
“Since we first released our ACSS Vulcan reticle, customers have been asking for an option with an enclosed design,” says Stephen Morgan, Director of Product Marketing at Primary Arms Optics. “The Holosun HE509 was the perfect platform to meet this demand, and now, we’re excited to announce a new co-branded ACSS Vulcan reticle variant for this trusted pistol optic.”
The Primary Arms Optics co-branded Holosun HE509 with ACSS Vulcan reticle is available for purchase in two different mounting plate options: industry-standard or GLOCK® MOS™ compatible.
About Primary Arms Optics
Founded in 2008, Primary Arms® Optics is a leading innovator in tactical optics, offering a comprehensive selection of rifle scopes, prism scopes, red dot sights, optic mounts, and accessories. Their Advanced Combined Sighting System (ACSS®) is a high-performance reticle solution to the challenges of modern marksmanship, distilling complex mathematics into intuitive holdovers that enhance your speed and precision.

The mid-tier GLx optics incorporate premium technologies with approachable pricing, while the popular SLx® optics offer both proven reliability and value.

NDIA joins in letter to Congress seeking relief on R&D tax amortization
April 1, 2022
NDIA joins in letter to Congress seeking relief on R&D tax amortization
ARLINGTON, VA — The National Defense Industrial Association is among seven associations requesting congressional leadership consider relief and a four-year delay for the research and development (R&D) tax amortization that went into effect January 1, the Arlington, Virginia-based defense association announces.
A March 31 letter from the associations to Congress highlights the negative impact the amortization will have on American technological advances and the ability to compete globally. Stemming from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the bill requires qualifying R&D expenses to be amortized over five years rather than allowing 100% of deductions in the year of the R&D spend.
The letter notes the negative impact this will have on innovative competition as companies can only write off 20% of their expenses per year, particularly as China extended a super deduction for R&D expenses to an additional 100% of actual expenses incurred. This will have a detrimental impact on companies, our warfighters and, ultimately, our national security. Additionally, estimates from an Ernst and Young study show it will also cause job losses, as cited in the letter.
The multi-association letter, available here<https://www.ndia.org/-/media/sites/ndia/policy/documents/rdtaxamortizationmultiassociationletter033122/rdtaxamortizationmultiassociationletter033122b.ashx>, requests the delay be included in the final Bipartisan Innovation Act or the next moving piece of legislation. Signing the letter with NDIA were the Aerospace Industries Association, the Center for Procurement Advocacy, the Computing Technology Industry Association, the Information Technology Industry Council, the National Small-Business Association and the Professional Services Council.
