U.S. LawShield® Champions Permitless Carry in Georgia

U.S. LAWSHIELD® CHAMPIONS PERMITLESS CARRY IN GEORGIA

WITH GEORGIA 2ND AMENDMENT LEGISLATIVE TOUR

Legal Defense for Self Defense®

Houston, Texas – March 21, 2022 – U.S. LawShield®, industry leader and America’s largest provider of Legal Defense for Self Defense® coverage, announces ongoing collaboration with Georgia 2nd Amendment (GA2A), formerly known as GeorgiaCarry.Org, as they prepare to battle for the rights of Georgians to keep and bear arms. Together, GA2A and U.S. LawShield kick off April 2022 with a statewide Legislative Tour focused on Georgia becoming the next state to legislate permitless carry and what it means for lawful gun owners in the Peach State.

According to U.S. LawShield CEO, P.J. Hermosa, “U.S. LawShield stands at the ready to support GA2A as they present their new name and energized commitment to the Second Amendment. Education is a critical component of keeping Georgians safe, and on the right side of the law, so we’re touring the state together to help folks understand the risks they face as legislation changes.”

U.S. LawShield GA2A Legislative Tour

Jerry Henry, Executive Director of GA2A, stated, “GA2A is proud to extend a nearly decade-long association with U.S. LawShield. With the prospect of constitutional carry becoming law in Georgia, we open the door to what we hope is a new era in recognizing and preserving the rights guaranteed to Georgia’s citizens in our state and federal constitutions. The right preserved in the granite rock of our Bill of Rights: the right of every man and woman to lawfully possess a firearm without a license.”

GA2A Legislative Tour Presented by U.S. LawShield

Attend a free session led by U.S. LawShield Independent Program Attorneys practicing in Georgia to learn about critical legislative updates concerning firearm rights. Q&A will answer questions on various topics, including Georgia permitless carry—also known as constitutional carry.

The GA2A Legislative Tour will explain how GA2A strives to fight gun control constraints plus clarify the many restrictions in Georgia that involve carrying a firearm.

Topics Include:

  • · When will the Georgia permitless carry law take effect?
  • · What does permitless carry mean for Georgians?
  • · Georgia Weapons Carry License vs. Permitless Carry
  • · What happens after a use-of-force confrontation?
  • · Is the law different for license holders?
  • · Discussion of Citizen’s Arrest Repeal—HB 479
  • · What is a “Lawful Weapons Carrier”? Can police question anyone with a firearm?
  • · Should you talk to the police if involved in a lethal confrontation? Why or why not?

GA2A Legislative Tour Session Schedule:

All sessions are free and run from 6 to 8 PM. Advance registration is required. Visit links to register.

ATN Corp. Donates $300K to Support the Gorta Group’s Ukraine Relief Efforts

ATN donates $300K to one of the oldest international organizations dedicated to alleviating the suffering of the world’s poor and victims of military conflicts.

ATN Corp. Donates $300K to Support the Gorta Group’s Ukraine Relief Efforts

ATN continues to work with international groups, expediting much-needed resources to the citizens of embattled Ukraine. ATN donates $300K to one of the oldest international organizations dedicated to alleviating the suffering of the world’s poor and victims of military conflicts.

The Gorta Group with humanitarian and medical products slated for a hospital in Ukraine.

Doral, Fla. (March 2022)ATN, Corp., an industry leader of innovative optics for civilian, law enforcement, and the military, have donated $300,000 to The Gorta Group, an NGO established in 1965 to serve people and communities in war zones and conflicts, to provide humanitarian and medical relief to Ukraine.

The Gorta Group CEO, Ray Jordan, arrived in neighboring Slovakia on the same day the Russians invaded Ukraine. With his senior staff, the organization procured partnerships with the Ivano Frankvisk Hospital No. 2, the Slovakian Foreign Ministry, two Slovak NGOs, secured a warehouse in Vysne Nemecke, and secured vehicles and drivers to cross the border. By early March, The Gorta Group was providing welfare and medical services for refugees and delivering non-medical items, including much-needed flour for Ukrainian bakeries.

Currently, The Gorta Group has three warehouses and distribution centers (two in Ukraine, one in Slovakia), two hospitals in Ivano Frankvisk, Ukraine receiving medical supplies, and one regional food distribution center, also located in Ivano Frankvisk. The Gorta Group’s dedicated staff has decades of experience in managing large-scale food and non-medical item distribution to marginalized communities and communities ravaged by conflict.

Marc Vayn, founder of ATN Corp, an American citizen born in Kyiv, Ukraine, has been in Bulgaria, assisting with efforts to move desperately needed products to the Ukrainian citizens in their defense against Russian troops. ATN set up a donation platform, of which Vayn donated $100K of his personal funds to the cause. The ATN fund currently has raised $170K for the cause.

Vayn explained, “ATN’s donation of $300,000 will go far to provide food and non-medical supplies to refugees fleeing and remaining within Ukraine. The very act of supplying Ukrainian bakeries with flour to keep producing bread for the citizens is an act of defiance in the face of all those who would seek to destroy a peaceful, democratic country’s government. ATN will continue to stand by our brothers and sisters in their fight for freedom.”

ATN CEO, James Munn, co-founder of the American-based ATN, Corp. and a US Army veteran, commented on this latest company-based donation, “The Gorta Group has been around for a long time and involved in a global-wide mission to end the suffering of people by providing them with medical and food products immediately, and staying long-term to assure these communities can get back up on their feet. Within two weeks, the team at Gorta Group had already procured and secured warehouses, medical and non-medical products, licenses, partners, contracted employees, and more, all aimed at helping the Ukrainian people, whether they are refugees or remaining within their war-torn borders.”


About ATN:

Founded in 1995, ATN has come to be known for dependable, quality products that enhance their customer’s outdoor experience and connect with the desires of outdoor enthusiasts.

About The Gorta Group:

Originally known as Gorta: The Freedom From Hunger Council, it has evolved since then into a group of organizations dedicated to alleviating the suffering of the world’s poorest and most marginalized people. Its work is focused on results – delivering for those in greatest need across a range of high-quality interventions, from sustainable economic development to improved nutrition and food systems innovation.

Rodman, a 15-year veteran of the Kokomo, Indiana, police force and SWAT team, utilized Blackhawk’s T-Series holster and new Foundation Series Tac Nylon gear, including plate carrier, belt, and pouches throughout the competition.

“Zach is off to a great start this season, placing 6th at the Meridian event and then following it up with a fantastic first place finish in Utah,” said Courtney Tiziani, brand marketing manager for Blackhawk. “The Men’s Elite Division is arguably the toughest classification in the Tactical Games, and it’s been no surprise to see Zach and his gear performing at an optimal level.”

Two pieces of kit that have been cornerstones to Zach’s gear list are the Blackhawk T-Series holster and Foundation Series Tac Nylon. Blackhawk’s T-Series holsters with leg straps are optimally designed to maintain proper holster position and security as competitors navigate unconventional obstacles throughout the Tactical Games. Foundation Series Tac Nylon gear gives competitors some of the lightest weight gear in its class without sacrificing durability or modularity, which is critical to maintaining speed and endurance while wearing heavy plate carriers.

Rodman’s next competition will be June 25 – 26 at the Tactical Games Ohio. The season finale will take place November 5 – 6 at the Tactical Games National Championship at Reveille Peak Ranch in Burnet, Texas.

Watch this video to learn more about how Rodman utilizes Blackhawk’s Foundation Series plate carrier throughout the Tactical Games.

About Blackhawk

In 1990, a Navy SEAL was navigating a minefield when his pack failed. As his gear tumbled to the ground, he vowed that if he got out of there alive he would make gear the right way. Today, this obsession with quality applies to everything we do. We’re constantly researching, refining and perfecting every detail to provide gear that won’t let you down. Because we’re not just making stuff – we’re honoring a vow.

My gear ran great from start to finish and the new Elite Tactical DMR3 continues to impress with its outstanding glass clarity and generous eyebox. Hats off to all the competitors, ROs and match staff. I can’t wait to be back next year.”

Redfin frames are handcrafted in Italy from marine-grade polymers in a range of popular shapes so that every face can enjoy comfort and protection from UV rays.

DJI Mini 2 and Mini SE now supported in Litchi for iOS

Litchi pilots, we know you have been waiting for this! We are happy to announce that the Mini 2 and Mini SE are now fully supported in Litchi for iOS 2.12.

Flying an Air 2S? Be sure to update to the recently released Air 2S firmware v02.04.21.50 in which DJI fixed the issue where the gimbal’s position is not reported in Litchi. This update means the Air 2S is now fully supported in Litchi for Android 4.21.3.

We have also added support for the Air 2S in Litchi for iOS 2.12, however be aware that currently you can only do one autonomous or semi-autonomous flight per launch of Litchi on iOS. After that flight, a restart of Litchi is required in order to start a new one. This is caused by a bug in the DJI iOS SDK which we have reported to DJI and hope they will fix soon.

FN Announces Safety Recall for the FN 502 Tactical

fn_football_slateblue.png

FN ANNOUNCES SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FN 502 TACTICAL

(McLean, VA – March 17, 2022) FN America, LLC announces a safety recall for the FN 502 Tactical .22LR pistol, which was previously the subject of FN’s January 27, 2022 safety bulletin. The original concern involved a missing manual safety lock lever in a small number of FN 502 Tactical pistols that would allow the discharge of the pistol when the trigger is pulled with the manual safety in the SAFE position. While investigating this issue with Umarex, the supplier of the FN 502 Tactical, we encountered a separate concern with proper installation of the manual safety lock lever. Consequently, if forced by multiple pulls of the trigger in succession, or if the pistol is jarred, an unintended firing may happen when the manual safety is in the SAFE position.

Because the safety of our customers is our primary concern, FN is voluntarily issuing a recall to address this newly discovered issue involving the safety and advising all owners of the FN 502 Tactical with a serial number lower than LR010300 to suspend use of their pistol and return the pistol to FN for repair or replacement in accordance with the recall instructions. 

For more information, please see the FN 502 Tactical safety recall at fnamerica.com/customer-support/fn-502-safety-recall/. For assistance in returning a firearm, please contact FN Support at 502Recall@fnamerica.com or call 1-800-635-1321, ext. 144, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

Rafael to Unveil its New LiteSat Family of Earth Observation Satellites during 1st Ever Participation at Satellite 2022

LITESAT_FAMILY

Rafael to Present at Satellite 2022 for the 1st Time and will Unveil its New LiteSat Family of Earth Observation Satellites Dedicated to Enable High Revisit ISR

March 22-24, 2022: Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. will be showcasing new satellite capabilities at Satellite 2022. This marks the first time Rafael is participating in Satellite 2022 and will be showcasing new technologies and capabilities in the Washington, D.C. based space exhibition.

Throughout the exhibition Rafael will be displaying the LiteSatTM HR2C (Very High Resolution & High Revisit Constellation) which features unique capabilities in the global space market. The LiteSat HR2C is specifically designed to enable the effective deployment of a large constellation with true high revisit capabilities. With almost UAV-like potential from space, it can complete highly demanding tactical missions that require revisit rates of less than 10 minutes. It is the first end-to-end space Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) platform designed from the ground up to provide military-grade, very high resolution, high revisit, and multi-sensor capabilities. LiteSat HR2C provides 30 cm resolution through an Electro-Optical payload fused with a Synthetic-aperture Radar (SAR) payload (in the same satellite). These unique capabilities function in a highly performance-to-cost effective package that enables deployment of a large constellation in order to achieve unprecedented high persistence tactical mission capabilities.

LiteSat’s payloads are based on Rafael’s extensively proven, industry-leading electro-optical capabilities which are demonstrated in the world’s most widely-used targeting pod, Litening, and the RecceLite reconnaissance pod. Imagery from LiteSat is then accessed, processed, and fused by the multi-mission, multi-management ImiLite Ground Exploitation System; An Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning based Exploitation Center, the ImiLite GES will also be displayed at the exhibition in Washington, D.C.

Rafael is a prominent provider of space components and technologies which are supported by over 40 years of space research, development, and heritage, and has a track record of success in providing key space structures, propulsion and components to more than 100 satellites and launcher programs globally.

Bushnell Pro Troy Livesay Takes First Place at Accuracy Indiana Shoot with Elite Tactical XRS3 Riflescope

Bushnell Pro Troy Livesay Takes First Place at Accuracy Indiana Shoot with Elite Tactical XRS3 Riflescope

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – March 16, 2022 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, congratulates Elite Tactical pro shooter Troy Livesay on his first-place finish at the Accuracy Indiana Long Range Precision Rifle Shoot.  Livesay claimed the top spot at the 1-mile match in Newberry, Indiana, for a second year in a row using the new Bushnell Elite Tactical XRS3 riflescope.

This year’s Accuracy Indiana Long Range Precision Rifle Shoot consisted of 11 stages with targets ranging from 268 to 1,760 yards (one mile). Throughout the match, shifting winds and difficult target arrays challenged competitors on each stage. Despite the tough match conditions, Livesay was able to stay one-step ahead of the other 94 competitors to claim the top overall spot. Livesay’s first place finish matched his performance from 2021, giving him back-to-back titles at the annual competition.

“Shooting long range field-style matches has always been my favorite,” Livesay said. “These types of matches force you to make good wind calls and the unpredictable environment keeps everyone on their toes. This was also my first match behind the XRS3, and it was a critical piece of coming out on top in some challenging conditions. I couldn’t be happier with clarity of the glass or its consistent tracking. The new G4P reticle gave me everything I needed and more. I can’t wait to keep shooting with it.”

The new Elite Tactical XRS3 6-36×56 riflescope used by Livesay features the most advanced Elite Tactical optical system ever. The XRS3 comes with a high magnification ED Prime objective, as well as fully multi-coated elements, EXO Barrier™ protection, and an all-new proprietary floating dot reticle. Other updates on the XRS3 include a multi-position throw hammer, bold turret markings plus an enlarged eyebox for faster target acquisition.

SnapSafe® Trunk Safe II – Stores & Secures Valuables Out of Sight

Grand Island, NE (March 16, 2022) – One sure-fire way of triggering a vehicle break-in is to leave valuables in plain sight.

The safe offers plenty of room for hiding and securing tools, firearms, electronics, documents and other valuables, deterring common thieves.

Heavy-duty is an understatement for the Trunk Safe II.

It measures 42-inches wide, 7-inches high and 13-inches deep, creating more than 3700 cubic inches of storage space! These dimensions fit the back of an SUV, car trunk or RV and equally well at home. For ease of moving, there are integrated d-handles on the end panels.

A programmable digital lock allows quick entry with a 3-to-8-digit access code. And a key ensures a backup opening method in the case of a low battery.

The SnapSafe Trunk Safe II is the perfect in-vehicle security solution.

SnapSafe Trunk Safe II Features: 

  • · Large storage capacity for tools, firearms, equipment, documents, and more
  • · Theft protection for your SUV, car trunk, RV or home

Fort Worth, Texas (March 15, 2022) – XS® Sights is pleased to introduce R3D Suppressor/RMR Height Sights for the popular HK VP9 Optics Ready pistol. These taller R3D sights are designed to allow a clear view of the target and accurate alignment while using a suppressor. They are also excellent back-up sights for optics and allow a lower 1/3 co-witness with the Holoson 507 series, Vortex Viper series, and Trijicon RMR series of red dot sights.

The XS R3D Night Sight offers a traditional 3-dot tritium, notch and post sight picture with a notch that is 15% wider than the front sight. This design allows more visible light around the front sight, resulting in faster and more accurate target acquisition. Available with a bright Orange front sight, made of XS’ Ember Glow Dot technology and a tritium center for dual illumination, the R3D sight is easy to see in changing light conditions and when shooting on the move.

“Demand has been high for suppressor-height sights for the HK VP9 OR, and XS is pleased to be the first to introduce aftermarket night sights for this popular pistol,” said Addison Monroe, Marketing Manager, XS Sights. “In addition to the R3D, we also offer a suppressor-height Minimalist Night Sight for the HK VP9 OR.

Henry Raises Over $40,000 for Milah

Henry Repeating Arms Donation Raises Over $40,000 for Indiana Girl’s Cancer Treatments

Milah Schevenius

Press Release

RICE LAKE, WI, Mar. 15, 2022 – Henry Repeating Arms, the country’s leading lever action firearm manufacturer, is pleased to announce that its donation of 55 custom rifles raised a total of $40,660 for 4-year-old Milah Schevenius of Decatur, Indiana. The funds will provide financial assistance for the medical expenses incurred throughout Milah’s kidney cancer treatments, including several surgeries and 42 weeks of chemo and radiation. Milah was diagnosed with bilateral Wilms’ Tumor, a rare occurrence affecting only 6% of Wilms’ tumor patients.

The “Miss Milah’s Miracle” campaign is the latest fundraising effort of Henry’s Guns For Great Causes program, a charitable branch of the company that focuses on providing support for sick children, children’s hospitals, military veterans organizations, and other non-profit groups. Each rifle in the limited-edition series features a colorful, childlike design unique to Milah’s personality engraved and hand-painted on the walnut buttstocks. All of the rifles sold out within 3 hours of the initial release announcement. In addition, the online auctions for the first and last serial numbers in the limited series ended at $5,850 and $4,600, respectively.

“I am in shock; this is just still so surreal,” said Keyara Schevenius, Milah’s mother, after learning how fast the rifles sold out. “I would never have imagined how big this would get when we first heard about what Henry was doing for Milah…our little girl is so loved!”

Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms, says, “We are so grateful to everyone that chooses to support Guns For Great Causes, from those who purchase a rifle to partners like Baron Engraving that donate their time and services.” Imperato continues, “To Milah and her family, I wish you continued strength and blessings on the road to remission. Sending you a big hug!”

All firearm purchases must be shipped to a federally licensed firearms dealer. For more information about Henry Repeating Arms and its products, visit henryusa.com or call 866-200-2354

Beretta Holding Agrees to Acquisition of RUAG Ammotec

RUAG Ammotec is a global leader in design, development and production of small-calibre ammunition and components. (RUAG)

Beretta Holding Agrees to Acquisition of RUAG Ammotec

New Group Will Have Over 50 Subsidiaries and $1.5 Billion in Revenues


Beretta Holding announced on 9 March it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of RUAG Ammotec. The parties have agreed not to disclose the financial terms of the transaction, completion of which will be subject to normal regulatory approval and closing conditions and which is expected to be completed within six months.

“This is a very special moment in the history of our Group. We warmly welcome the more than 2,700 employees of RUAG Ammotec to our Group, having worked almost three years on this project,” stated Pietro Gussalli Beretta, President and CEO of Beretta Holding. During that period, there has been clear recognition of the excellent cultural fit between the two organisations, and that RUAG Ammotec has a strong, experienced and competent management team in place. “We have the firearms and the optics, RUAG Ammotec has the ammo – there is almost no overlap, explained Beretta”.

There are also strong synergies in R&D and distribution, which will lead to strengthening the enlarged group’s European business and further develop its global footprint. “This new addition to our group will add a substantial number of high-end brands to our existing portfolio of premium brands,” Beretta added. As requested by the Swiss government, Beretta commits to maintaining the existing locations and has specifically agreed to maintaining 400 jobs at the Thun facility for at least five years, according to a RUAG statement.

From a RUAG International perspective, the sale of the Ammotec division fits perfectly with its evolving strategy of becoming an agile technology provider with a focus on space. “We are taking the next step to withdraw from the defence-related business completely. We are pleased to have found a renowned industrial partner for Ammotec in Beretta, who will take over all employees and the Thun site. With its industry experience and global presence, Beretta offers the best conditions to sustainably grow Ammotec’s business activities for the benefit of customers and employees,” explained André Wall, RUAG International CEO.

Beretta has been family-owned for nearly 500 years – since Mastro Bartolomeo Beretta was commissioned to provide arquebus barrels for the Venice Arsenal in 1526. Post acquisition, Beretta Holding Group will encompass some 6,000 employees and will have revenues of approx. €1.5 billion. It will add five manufacturing sites and 16 new companies in 12 countries, meaning there will be over 50 subsidiaries worldwide.

Fort Worth, TX (March 14, 2022) – iRayUSA, a Texas-based designer, manufacturer and distributor of premium thermal night vision devices is proud to announce the availability of the new pack-leader in the thermal riflescope market, the RICO ALPHA. The ALPHA is the culmination of decades of user feedback, research and development, and American engineering all embedded in a hunting dedicated thermal weapons sight. From the initial concept, design, and assembly, every step of the process was completed by hunters and engineers in Texas.
RICO ALPHA can be paired with any commonly used hunting firearm platform but was specifically designed to accommodate the large majority of American night hunters who utilize the AR platform. The ALPHA’s ideally located and recessed 6-pin Autoloading Guarded Connector was specifically designed to prevent damage when using a slung weapon. Additionally, the magnetic properties of the charging port and design of the mating cables allow for an automatic connection when ALPHA is installed on a rifle. 
Adjusting the sight picture of the ALPHA was made to be both fast and simple, with its design based on feedback from the field. The ambidextrous Single Finger Focus lever is easy to use and allows for adjustments to be made in no light conditions using only a single finger of a gloved hand. Once focus is correctly adjusted, the powerful 50Hz 12 um sensor and MATRIX III image processor provide the ALPHA’s HD display the highest level of clarity on the commercial market.
“The concept of ALPHA was the idea that started it all for iRayUSA,” stated Angelo Brewer, Director of Operations, iRayUSA. “The ALPHA was the product we wanted as hunters and was designed based on decades of use in the field.” continued Brewer.
The RICO ALPHA will begin shipping to dealers in April and has a suggested retail price of $6999. As with all iRayUSA products, the RICO ALPHA comes with a 5-year warranty, with a 1-week turnaround process. A full list of ALPHA specifications and an authorized dealer locator can be found on the iRayUSA website,
www.irayusa.com.

Galco Holsters

Galco’s Concealable 2.0 Holster!

Click to Shop Now

Phoenix, March 2022

Galco’s Concealable™ 2.0 is a thoroughly modern version of the strongside belt holster!

Building on over four decades of success with the original Concealable, the 2.0 version is updated for 21st century gun carriers. Cut low at the front, the new design accommodates most popular carry-style red dot optics. The raised sweat guard protects the wearer’s body from the pistol, and the pistol from the body’s natural perspiration. A mild butt-forward cant offers an easy draw from behind the dominant-side hip while also enhancing concealment with larger defensive pistols.

The Concealable 2.0’s unique two-piece construction is contoured on the body side to the natural curve of the hip, keeping all the molding on the front of the holster, allowing for significantly more comfortable carry and a narrower profile than an ordinary pancake type holster. (For an expanded discussion on forward molding versus the traditional pancake design, please see our FAQ.)

Hand-molded to fit specific handguns, the Concealable 2.0 features a deeply hand-molded exterior for excellent retention properties and superior appearance, firing grip accessibility for speed, and double-stitched seams for long-lasting durability.

Currently available for 1911s, Glocks and SIGs with or without red dot sights, it’s constructed of premium steerhide in black or tan, and made to fit belts up to 1 1/2″.
