Guntec USA Still Leading the Hand Guard Category

Posted on Wednesday, 21 November, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

Scottsdale, AZ (November 13, 2018) Guntec USA, a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative tactical weapon accessories continues to improve on their already impressive line of hand guards by introducing a larger selection. Considered the leader in tactical hand guards, Guntec started offering its first hand guard over 20 years ago when they saw the need to produce a hand guard for the AR15 that was light-weight, reduced heat and most importantly at a price the consumer could afford. From that, Guntec has brought hundreds of hand guards to market, fitting several rifles in several designs and colors.
Made entirely in the United States in Scottsdale, AZ, all of Guntec’s hand guards are built with a proprietary aluminum composition that reduces heat, considered to be some of the most lightweight hand guards on the market, ergonomically designed with the shooter in mind and at a price that is not only competitive, but lower than most other manufacturers. 
“Although all of us at Guntec are extremely proud of all our product offerings, we’ve got a special place for our hand guards,” said Philippe Kent, Vice President of Guntec USA. “At the very beginning, we listened to our customers; they wanted a hand guard that was extremely thin yet, could reduce heat, felt and look good and not have to pay a fortune. I believe we’ve achieved this and now offer hand guards for all weapons with the same quality and innovation as the first one we produced.” 
Guntec offers hand guards in 4” to 16.5” for a wide array of tactical firearms. In 2019 the Company will launch newly designed hand guards, which will be launched at the 2019 SHOT Show.

For more information or inquiries on hand guards or any Guntec product please contact Vice President/Director of Sales, Philippe Kent at philippe@guntecusa.comor call 480-478-4517.

Nikon M-TACTICAL & P-TACTICAL Riflescopes Now at a Retailer Near You

Posted on Wednesday, 21 November, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

Melville, NY (November 2018) – Nikon’s recently released M-TACTICAL and P-TACTICAL riflescope lineups are changing expectations in the tactical riflescope market and at a price point that is simply undeniable. Both the M-TACTICAL and P-TACTICAL family of riflescopes offer all new MOA and MRAD reticles, as well as the tried-and-true, caliber-specific BDC reticles, combined with Nikon’s proprietary glass and multicoating technology. Nikon’s M-TACTICAL riflescopes feature 30mm main body tubes while the P-TACTICAL riflescopes are 1” main body tubes. Corresponding M-TACTICAL and P-TACTICAL MSR mounts match perfectly. All are available now at your local retailer just in time for the holidays.

The M-TACTICAL and P-TACTICAL families of riflescopes carry Nikon’s renowned Fully Multicoated Optical System that is engineered for maximum edge-to-edge clarity, light transmission and contrast in both low-light and bright shooting conditions.

Purpose-built reticles include MK1-MOA and MK1-MRAD variants with matching turrets to provide shooters with repeatable precise adjustments to dial to extreme distances. Rimfire rifle shooters can also get in on the action with the new P-TACTICAL RIMFIRE, which comes in either the BDC 150 or the all-new MK1-MOA reticle that will surely surpass typical rimfire shooters’ expectations.

Shooters with a preference for cartridge-specific reticles have .223 and .308 caliber, BDC 600 and BDC 800 respectively, available in the M-TACTICAL riflescopes.

The P-TACTICAL family offers caliber-specific models for .223, 300 AAC Blackout and .308. Each of these offerings can be optimized by utilizing Nikon’s SPOT ON ballistics to bring challenging targets within reach quickly and accurately.

M-TACTICAL riflescopes are equipped with a 4x zoom ratio packed inside the 30mm main body tube, maximizing light transmittance as well as offering a side-focus parallax on long-range models, providing users parallax adjustments to correspond with the distance to the target. P-TACTICAL riflescopes are equipped with 3x zoom ratio inside the 1” main body tube on variable models.

Each M-TACTICAL and P-TACTICAL model features exposed Spring-Loaded Instant Zero-Reset turrets, machined from aluminum, for both windage and elevation adjustments without breaking shooting position. The exposed turrets are engraved for maximum readability while offering smooth, repeatable adjustments.

As with all Nikon riflescopes, the new M-TACTICAL and P-TACTICAL riflescope families are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for waterproof, fogproof performance, while being backed by Nikon’s legendary NO FAULT Lifetime Repair/Replacement Policy

Crimson Trace Holster Guide Offers 3,300 Options

Posted on Wednesday, 21 November, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

clip_image002

Holster-Resource-Guide_003-Cover(Wilsonville, OR)– Crimson Trace® continues to help customers select a holster for their firearm(s) equipped with a laser sight, and the company’s free 40-page-plus online holster resource guide—located at www.holsterresourceguide.com–offers full details on more than 3,300 specially designed holsters. These custom created solutions answer the question of what holster will fit a specific firearm with a Crimson Trace laser sight installed. The website has details on nearly 30 holster manufacturers, thousands of holster models, and many more details to aid in the steps-to-selection process.

This comprehensive online holster resource works to guide Crimson Trace customers in selecting the best holster option(s) for their laser-equipped firearm(s). The website helps customers make selections based on the Crimson Trace® laser sight product installed along with the firearm manufacturer’s specific handgun model and matching that information with a holster manufacturer and the available holster models. A multitude of styles are provided, including: inside the waist band, outside the waist band, pancake, shoulder carry, and other style holsters. Notably, most Crimson Trace Lasergrips® models will work with any holster since the installation of the laser sight does not dramatically alter the profile of the firearm. For models that do alter the outer configuration of the firearm, (Laserguard®, Laserguard® Pro™, etc.), a form-fitted holster will often be required.

Website visitors will discover many manufacturers’ products, including: Alien Gear Holsters™, BLACKHAWK!®, CrossBreed®, DeSantis®, Galco®, Mitch Rosen™, Tactical Tailor®, Bravo Concealment™, Tuff™ Products and others. Once a holster is selected, clicking on the product will take shoppers directly to the item for sale in an online website.

As Crimson Trace develops new laser sight models, the company works closely with numerous holster manufacturers to develop the necessary forms needed to create precise dimensions for a best fit. All the details—and resulting holsters—are located at www.holsterresourceguide.com. Holsters are being crafted now to accommodate pistols equipped with recently released Crimson Trace lighting products.

Crimson Trace’s online store at www.crimsontrace.com is another easy-to-use source of holsters and additional information. The website offers numerous detailed images and details for holsters and handguns, including: 1911 pistols, and other firearms by Bersa®, Kimber®, Remington®, Smith & Wesson®, Walther(w), and others.

Crimson Trace is widely recognized as America’s top brand of laser sights and strives to make laser sights standard equipment on concealed-carry and personal-defense firearms. For nearly 25 years, Crimson Trace has equipped America’s gun owners, law enforcement officers and military units around the globe with the largest selection of award-winning laser sight and tactical light products.

Mission First Tactical (MFT) Introduces the Extreme Duty 5.56 Polymer Mag

Posted on Tuesday, 20 November, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

The EXDPM556 magazines are the latest addition to the MFT Magzine line-up. Over engineered for today’s modern warrior.

Horsham, Pa. (November 2018) – Mission First Tactical, LLC (MFT™), a leader in USA-made rifle/carbine accessories, is proud to introduce the latest addition to the MFT magazine line, the Extreme Duty 5.56 Polymer Magazine (EXDPM556). Designed for the AR15/M4 platform but allowing for use with wide range of non-AR15/M4 platforms.

Manufactured using the newest material technology and processes, the magazines with their next generation long glass fiber polymer construction offer the trifecta of perfection in structural performance; strength, durability and stiffness. The stiffness allows the magazine to maintain its integrity without additional weight with an additional benefit of top performance even at elevated temperatures. The longer length reinforcing fibers produce increased strength and prevents deformation and polymer fatigue. Additionally, the Extreme Duty 5.56 mags offer increased durability through a more efficient energy transfer between the polymer and the longer fiber filaments during an impact. A long-life USGI-Spec stainless steel spring is corrosion resistant. The four-way, anti-tilt, self-lubricating follower keeps the rounds aligned and makes mag feeding consistent and reliable, while virtually eliminating jambs.

Confidence in handling the new Extreme Duty 5.56 mags is a piece of cake, even during weather or duress. The front and rear of the gripping surface is ribbed for a positive grip, even with gloves. An oversized bolt-catch provides enhanced reliability of the bolt-catch operation. The flared floor plate allows for an easier grip in handling and extraction and one-hand reloads. Wrapping up the multiple benefits to the newest addition to the MFT magazine line is a paint dox matrix to allow for easy marking and identification of magazines and the tool-less disassembly with the double floor plate safety release tabs.

Mission First Tactical Extreme Duty 5.56 Polymer magazines are built for hard shooting and extreme treatment and shooting conditions and come with a Lifetime Warranty.

Extreme Duty 5.56 Polymer Mag Specs:

  • Model Number: EXDPM556
  • Height: 7.494”
  • Width: .940”
  • Length: 2.525”
  • Color: Black, SDE (Tan)
  • MSRP: $12.99

Guntec USA to Celebrate its 30th Anniversary

Posted on Friday, 16 November, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

Scottsdale, AZ (November 1, 2018) Guntec USA, a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative tactical weapon accessories is proud to celebrate their 30th Anniversary. The company wasn’t always in the firearms industry; rather the company was a prominent player in the automotive industry. Guntec actually began when Owner and Founder Charles Kent produced gun-cleaning kits as part of a promotional program for his automotive customers. He saw the huge response and interest and in 1989 Guntec was born. From there, his CNC machines went from producing automotive parts to firearm accessories, mainly accessories and mounts for the AK-47 platform.
It wasn’t such a big leap for Mr. Kent, having first-hand knowledge of tactical weapons during his service in Viet Nam and his intimate knowledge of engineering and manufacturing, he took this experience and started creating key accessories for tactical weapons that would benefit the shooters experience. 
Since the Company’s successful debut, they’ve enjoyed introducing their customers to other innovative options for their factory rifles and pistols, with over 1200 sku’s. On the top of this list are hang-guards, conversions and accessories to increase usability and bring a more enjoyable shooting experience to factory, tactical firearms. Guntec pioneered the tactical industry by introducing the first quad rail to AK-47 platform and continue to lead the category by bringing new and never-before-seen products to the marketplace.
Philippe Kent, Vice President of Guntec USA tells us, “We are really proud of our 30thanniversary and how far we have come since our first product. Customers can expect the highest quality, precision and innovation at a really reasonable price from us for years to come.”
After specializing in “Direct-to-Consumer” sales offering the highest quality conversions and accessories, Guntec’s goal for the next 30 years is to establish itself as a leader in brick & mortar, offering more consumers the ability to purchase and see first hand the quality and innovation that has been at the forefront for Guntec for 30 years.

Stopwatch Timer, Timers and Stopwatches, Item Number 408441

We made it through another week, that’s a good thing but you have to admit that it’s been a hell of year; mail bombs, synagogue killings, country western night club there seems to be no end to the wave of genetic defects. Unfortunately the gun gets the blame and not the individual perpetrator.

How about the California fires? At the latest count, there are over 50 fatalities and sadly this is just the tip of the iceberg for the state. When the rains come you’re going to see mudslides of biblical proportions.

We also have Thanksgiving just around the corner , November 22. So, there’s enough stress to go around but unless you like talking with people like the infamous Dr. Ford your best bet for dissipating all that stress is exercise and shoot the shit.

Shoot the shits are great because to participate you don’t need to know anything about the subject being discussed, like Congresswoman elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. You don’t have to worry about political correctness or use uncensored profanity if you wish. Want to insult someone? Go right ahead. And, if you ‘re tired of the subject just change it. More importantly you don’t have part with your hard earned cash to pay someone who studied psychology so they could understand themselves.

Have you had a chance to digest the “nationalist” crap the President has been putting up with?  It’s utterly amazing; I honestly thought, at one time, that the media had a measurable I.Q., but follow my thought process.

Nations are formed for the benefit and security of its citizens, not to benefit of others. They are defined by a common interest, language, and need for security. You can go back to Socrates, and beyond, to see the variations in origins and organization of countries. I don’t know about you but I want a nationalist leadership at all levels of government. I served in uniform, something that I did to serve my country, isn’t that nationalism? The media is either incredibly stupid or they’re overdosing on Call of Duty Modern Warfare video games where the good guys fight the ultra-nationalists.

Male readers pay attention, okay!

Nicki Lisa Cole, Ph.D. wrote a piece for ThoughtCo. titled “The Orgasm Gap.” In it she represents women as down trotted members of society who are paid less than men, hold less seats in Congress – on and on! She also states that when it comes to orgasms, women are “getting the short end of the stick.”

“The orgasm gap is a rigorously documented disparity in the rates at which men and women achieve orgasm during sexual encounters together. A nationwide survey of sexual practices found that women report only 1 orgasm for every 3 reported by a man.”

She continues …

lesbians are here to prove all of that wrong. The survey of sexual practices cited above found that women who have sex with women achieve orgasm far more frequently than do women who have sex with men. (she may be trolling, always a possibility)

My comment to  Dr. Cole is that women orgasm from the stimulus imparted by the clitoral hood to the clitoris. Anatomically, the female clitoral placement is such that there is little or no contact with the male penis during intercourse. Using the missionary position won’t get it unless she is having sex with a donkey. In order to achieve orgasm the female must position herself on top of the male allowing her hips to slide back so that as she moves the clitoral hood moves from the penal interaction with the labium minus. Other options include manual or lingual stimulation.

Ladies, here’s how you solve this problem? Position, position, position – get on top and use an egg timer so that the tic-toc breaks your male partner’s concentration.

Hope you’ve enjoyed my two topics, it could have talked about Senator “flakey” Jeff, but NOT!

Have a great weekend readers, be safe, be happy and be thankful as we kickoff the Holiday Season. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!

Howard Leight by Honeywell UVEX Eyewear–A Brief Review

Posted on Thursday, 15 November, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

20181114_084856

Howard Leight Shooting Sports, now a division of Honeywell Safety Products, introduced, in September, a line of sports eyewear marketed as UVEX HYPERSHOCK. I’ve had the opportunity to test drive these glasses over the past two months and over three range sessions and found them to be an excellent value offering for your eye protection.

For starters, their HydroShield Anti-Fog Coating gives these lenses 60 time longer anti-fog and twice the scratch resistance of competing offerings. I found that level of performance to be desirable in this hot and humid environment, but just to convince myself that my initial impression was empirically supported, I placed the glasses in the freezer and brought them out into an environment with a relative humidity of 70% and an ambient temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Pleasantly, there was no fogging, great!

All of the UVEX sport glasses provide 99.9% UV protection; important for shooters in the sunbelt where eye damage is almost a certainty without some form of UV protection.

The glasses offer excellent eye protection from foreign matter. Two attributes play a key role. First, these wrap-around glasses sit close to the face and completely surround and protect the eyes. Second, the UVEX Hypershock meets ANSI Z87.1+ specifications. Meeting that specification means that its lenses have the ability to withstand a high velocity impact from foreign matter. Note, I’m not suggesting any form of ballistic protection nor are they intended to replace your ESS, Revision or Oakley eyewear, but let’s face it, trips to the range can sometimes be hard on your kit and I would rather replace a $13 pair of safety glasses than $190 Revision.

Shooting with these glasses was surprisingly impressive. It’s been my experience that the application of coatings can at times degrade clarity particularly when focusing your eyes on a red dot or reticle. Again, no problem here, and the UVEX glasses were very good in that respect.

Comfort is also an important consideration and I usually have problems with the nosepiece cutting into my nose, but that was conspicuously absent with the UVEX glasses, its soft coated nosepiece took care of that issue. The polycarbonate lens and full frame construction is very light providing an excellent fit. The UVEX Hypershock glasses ship in a 125mm frame size, which worked just fine but I would prefer a size of 140mm.

The UVEX Hypershock glasses are excellent safety glasses that will keep those lovely peepers protected from nasty UV rays and debris. You are only given a single pair of eyes, and given current technology they are irreplaceable, but you can purchase a pair of UVEX sport glasses for under $15 USD.

Your eyes will be protected and you’ll look pretty sharp in the process. The glasses are available in a variety of frame styles and lens tints. Check them out!

DoubleStar Hosts 2018 Veterans Day Sweepstakes to Benefit Mission 22™

Posted on Thursday, 15 November, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

DoubleStar is offering an exclusive Veterans Day sweepstakes to honor our Veterans with a unique package that includes a DoubleStar Fury™ (Crashete™), a 1911 A1 Pistol, 45 ACP magazines and challenge coins.

Winchester, Ky. (November 2018) – DoubleStar Corp, manufacturers of high-quality, US-made AR components, rifles, pistols and edged weapons, has for 40 years demonstrated its commitment to our Armed Forces and this year is no different. This Veterans Day, DoubleStar will honor our military men and women with a unique sweepstakes of which all proceeds will go to Mission 22™.  The 2018 Veterans Day Sweepstakes prize package includes a DoubleStar Fury™ (Crashete™), a 1911 A1 Pistol, several 45 ACP magazines and challenge coins. Tickets are $25 to enter.

“DoubleStar has a tradition of recognizing those who have stood on the wall in defense of our freedom, by bringing awareness through special projects dedicated to honoring our Veterans. This year we have chosen to showcase one of the most triumphant victories in American history: The Battle of the South Pacific. Though our allies were many and sacrifices of blood and treasure were uncountable, the contribution of the Filipino people must be acknowledged. This is a tribute to one of the greatest unions in world history,” Rob Cabrera, director of the edged weapons division, remarked.

The DoubleStar Fury’s origins are based on a moro Filipino blade, which made it a perfect choice to be showcased in this tribute to the American-Filipino alliance. Cabrera dove into research and developed the Fury to combat, overpower and outclass other machetes or cane knives. The majority of production machetes are made from 0.089” – 0.125” thick spring steel, so DoubleStar chose to go with 0.25” thick 80CrV2 Carbon Spring Steel, which has a custom laser engraving of the American and Filipino flags. It also comes with a custom-made rawhide sheath with custom molded impressions of the American and Filipino flags. The Fury has a parkarized tumbled coating, custom Nitro-Blued handle hardware and custom CNC’d routered scales.

As DoubleStar created this GI-style 1911, its inspirations and thought process were “military circa WWII.” DoubleStar started by blending its new and older forged frames and slides, along with vintage military surplus parts from the time period, to create something one would produce under military contract during the World War: sleek and simple with a bit of American toughness. DoubleStar’s intent is to honor those who laid their lives on the line for America’s freedom; their sacrifice was the root of the inspiration to this design.

1911 A1 Pistol Specifications:

  • Frame and Slide: DoubleStar
  • Arched Mainspring Housing: Vintage Military Surplus
  • Safety: Vintage Military Surplus
  • Hammer: Vintage Military Surplus
  • Mag Catch: Vintage Military Surplus
  • Barrel Brushing: Vintage Military Surplus
  • Trigger: Vintage Military Surplus
  • Sear and Disconnector: Wilson Combat Bulletproof
  • Grips: Wood Vintage Military Surplus
  • Barrel: DoubleStar Match
  • Frame and Slide finished in black parkerized
  • Small parts, polished nitre blue

Mission 22 is a non-profit which combats the ever-rising veteran suicide rate. Every day, more than 20 veterans are lost to suicide. Mission 22 wants to bring that number to zero. It does this with three main programs: veteran treatment programs, memorials and national awareness. Mission 22 provides treatment programs to veterans for Post-Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury and other issues they may be facing. It organizes events and builds memorials to create social impact and awareness for these issues. Mission 22 also has an Ambassador volunteer program for people to get involved as well. Ambassadors educate the public on veteran issues, help get veterans into Mission 22 treatment programs and create resources in their communities. Through these three programs, it enables a push for the betterment of our nation’s heroes and stands united in the war against veteran suicide.

The 2018 Veterans Day Sweepstakes runs from now through 11:59 p.m. EST, Nov. 25, 2018. The random winner will be drawn at 12:00 p.m. EST on Nov. 26, 2018. An FFL will be required of the winner.

Big Horn Armory AR500 Auto Max Now Available in Pistol Model

Posted on Thursday, 15 November, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

In response to overwhelming customer requests, Big Horn Armory now offers the 500 Auto Max AR500 in a pistol model.

Cody, Wyo. (November 2018) – Big Horn Armory, makers of big-bore firearms, entered the AR platform market in the summer of 2018 and due to overwhelming customer demand, are now offering the 500 Auto Max AR500 in a pistol version. The AR500 pistol lacks nothing the rifle version has except length, making it ideal for SWAT officers, tactical and security professionals in and out of vehicles or as a personal defense weapon.

“After the AR500 rifle came out, we started to receive inquiries regarding a pistol version,” Greg Buchel, president of Big Horn Armory, said. “While listening to our customers, we also required the time to source and test parts that would create a compact AR500 without compromising on the quality our customers expect out of our guns. We believe that the AR500 pistol achieves that goal.”

Built using lightweight black anodized aluminum with a 10-inch nitrated barrel, full length Picatinny rail and pistol brace, the new AR500 packs a punch yet felt recoil is similar to a .308.

It is capable of feeding and firing any .500 diameter bullet between 200 and 700 grains. The AR500 has an adjustable gas block to allow the user to run sub sonic loads using a suppressor. 500 Auto Max ammunition is currently shipping from Buffalo Bore and Underwood Ammo. It is also available at Midway USA.

The Big Horn Armory AR500 pistol is perfect for hunters wanting a more compact, but powerful platform for big game, whether in a vehicle or on horseback. For law enforcement, military or private security use, the AR500 pistol is perfect for vehicle carry or as a powerful breaching weapon capable of clearing any obstruction, including bullet proof glass.

Big Horn Armory AR500 Pistol Specifications:

  • Caliber: 500 Auto Max
  • Rate of Twist: 1 in 24
  • Barrel Length: 10 inches
  • Muzzle: Threaded

About Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the expressed intention of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The Big Horn Armory Model 89, made in America, closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metallurgy and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September of 2012 and since then, BHA has added to their big bore lineup with a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, the Model 90A in 454 Casull, the Model 90B in .45 Colt, the Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory took a departure from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range, semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.

Atlanta Campaign Targets Illegal Gun Purchases

Posted on Wednesday, 14 November, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

Don't Lie for the Other GuyATLANTA, Ga. — As part of an ongoing national effort to help prevent illegal “straw” purchases of firearms, the National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are reminding the public in the Atlanta area that stiff penalties are in place for individuals convicted of such purchases.

Billboard, radio and digital advertisements for the Don’t Lie for the Other Guy program have been purchased by NSSF in key locations throughout the region with the message: “Buy a gun for someone who can’t and buy yourself 10 years in jail. Don’t Lie for the Other Guy.”

The month-long public awareness campaign was officially launched today with a short program at the Cobb County Safety Village. Joining NSSF’s Lawrence G. Keane, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for Government and Public Affairs at the launch event were ATF Special Agent-in-Charge Art Peralta and ATF Director of Industry Operations Diana Mitchell.

More than 26.4 million impressions will be delivered via billboards, radio and digital and social media advertising around Atlanta. Atlanta was chosen for this special campaign by ATF. No taxpayer dollars are used. The program is funded in full by the firearms industry.

“As evidenced today, the firearms industry is proud of its longstanding cooperative relationship with the ATF and the entire law enforcement community by assisting them in their efforts to combat the criminal acquisition and misuse of firearms,” said Keane.

Don’t Lie” is a cooperative program ATF and NSSF, the trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry. The effort was developed more than a decade ago to raise public awareness about the seriousness of the crime of purchasing a firearm for someone who cannot legally do so. The program also helps ATF educate firearms dealers so they can be better prepared to deter potential straw purchases. The public campaign drives home the message that anyone attempting an illegal firearm purchase faces a stiff federal felony penalty of up to 10 years in jail or up to $250,000 in fines.

To legally purchase a firearm, a person must be able to pass an FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check and fully comply with state and local laws. When a criminal knows he cannot pass this check, he may try to induce a friend or other person to make the purchase on his behalf, which is known as a straw purchase and is a felony.

Parabon® NanoLabs to Attend the 2018 Southeastern Homicide Investigators Association Conference (SEHIA)

Posted on Tuesday, 13 November, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

The 2018 SEHIA Conference will be held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Nov. 12 – 16, 2018.

Reston, Va. (November 2018) – Parabon® NanoLabs, a vertically integrated DNA technology company that develops next-generation forensic and therapeutic products, will be attending the 2018 Southeastern Homicide Investigators Association Conference (SEHIA), to be held at the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Nov. 12 – 16, 2018.

Parabon representatives will be on hand to discuss its suite of Snapshot® Advanced DNA Analysis services, including Genetic Genealogy, DNA Phenotyping, a revolutionary forensic DNA technology that accurately predicts the physical appearance and ancestry of an unknown person from DNA, and its Kinship Inference service that can determine kinship between DNA samples out to six degrees of relatedness.

It has already led to arrests in several high-profile cold cases.

SEHIA brings together homicide detectives, crime scene investigators, state and district attorneys, medicolegal investigators and those responsible for the tireless pursuit of justice for the victims of homicide and their families. The goal of the conference is to enhance the dialogue between members of law enforcement tasked with investigating the most heinous and impactful life events faced by members of society. This is achieved by presenting lessons learned through experience during the lengthy and diverse investigations necessary to bring closure to such cases. The conference creates an atmosphere of law enforcement sharing, which can be maintained and drawn upon through SEHIA’s resources.

WILLIAMS POLICE DEPARTMENT IMPLEMENTS VIRIDIAN® WEAPON-MOUNTED CAMERA

Posted on Tuesday, 13 November, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

Image result for FACT DUTY cameraMINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – November 12, 2018 – Viridian Weapon Technologies announces that the Williams Police Department, located just west of Flagstaff, Arizona, has deployed the FACT Duty™Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC™). Viridian and the Williams Police Department will hold a joint press conference on Wednesday, November 14 at 10:00 a.m. at police headquarters located at 501 West Route 66, Williams, AZ 86046.
The Williams Police Department was one of the first in the country to evaluate the FACT Duty Weapon-Mounted Camera. To date, more than 400 agencies are in the process of testing, implementing and deploying the FACT Duty Weapon-Mounted Camera.
The FACT Duty fits officer weapons and holsters and records automatically, providing an unobstructed view from the end of an officer’s firearm. The need for this product continues to be validated in current events throughout the United States.
“We’ve seen the need for something like this for a while,” said Williams Police Chief Herman Nixon. “We had a chance to test this product right away, and it makes sense for our department. What we like about it is the fact that we don’t need to retrain anyone, it records automatically and it provides visibility into an officer-involved-shooting if it occurs.”
Viridian has created an important new category for law enforcement with the introduction of the FACT camera. This unique Weapon-Mounted Camera provides an unobstructed view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras. The highly advanced WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. Viridian’s proprietary INSTANT-ON® technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment.
“Being able to announce the deployment by Williams is an important milestone for the department, the community and our company,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “When you have a completely new product that creates a new category, the feedback and support from end users is critical. The trust Chief Nixon and his department have put in this product reaffirms our reasoning for bringing this to market. Current events point to the fact that body and dash cameras alone are inadequate. And everyone involved in an officer-involved-shooting deserves to know what really happened. Our WMCs provide an unfettered perspective for these and other use-of-force incidents.”


Easy Implementation
FACT WMCs do not require the purchase of supplemental equipment or services and are designed exclusively to answer the needs of today’s officers. The WMC generates just a small fraction of the data to manage compared to other law enforcement recording options because it only records when the officer’s weapon is drawn. This results in significantly lower comparative data management costs. The WMCs fit on existing standard-issue firearms and fit seamlessly in multiple duty holster platforms. The cameras feature a recording time of over three hours to handle virtually any scenario. They also incorporate secured data access and are easily rechargeable.
Body and dash cameras were not designed to capture officer-involved shootings. However, Viridian WMCs were designed specifically for this purpose.


Category Creation and Importance Today
The need for this technology was recognized several years ago. While the product was in development, events continued to unfold that only increased the urgency for Weapon-Mounted Cameras for police officers across America.
“As we closely monitor these events around the country along with the aftermath when affected parties do not believe justice was served, we realize that our solution cannot be implemented soon enough by more departments,” said Matthew Plowman, General Counsel at Viridian. “Much of the controversy in so many past incidents and trials was what the officer saw when pulling the trigger. The FACT Duty is a tool to provide objective evidence, both for potential legal proceedings and in helping the community understand what happened. Our WMC also aids police communication to the general public to help eliminate the uncertainty in officer-involved shootings that is the source of much conflict.”
