Kahr Firearms Group Sponsors TheManSpot at Mint 400 Off-Road Desert Race
(Greeley, PA) – Kahr Firearms Group, a leader in innovative firearms design and manufacturing, is proud to announce its sponsorship of TheManSpot at The Mint 400 Off-Road Desert Race.
Vaughn Neville, better known as TheManSpot by his social media fans, will be competing in The Mint 400 off-road desert race. Neville is an online marketer, American patriot, defender of the U.S. Constitution, firearms enthusiast, and off-road racer among other things. His digital platform and social media following have allowed him to share his passions with the world and support many causes that are dear to him. NeVille will be racing in the 4400 class morning race on Sunday, March 10 at 6 a.m. His race number will be #4411.
The Mint 400 is an annual American desert off-road race which takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada. The location is perfect, miles of scrub brush and dry lake beds but very close to one of the most exciting cities in the country. The Mint 400 has held the title for the toughest, most spectacular off-road race in North America since its inception in 1968. It was created by Norm Johnson originally as a public relations event promoting the Mint Hotel’s annual deer hunt, but soon grew into a legitimate desert race.
NeVille, will be racing in The Mint 400 with Mark Tomlinson as his navigator, along with teammate John Williams from Team Impulse Off Road driving a separate Jeep. Williams is well-known in the off-road racing world and has years of competitive experience in the sport. He currently works as a Ford Raptor instructor at the Ford Performance Racing School, in addition to his Impulse Off Road garage in South Salt Lake. After experiencing an issue with his fuel system in the King Of the Hammers race last month, NeVille was unable to make it past 50 miles. Since then, he and his team have worked out the issues and couldn’t be more excited for redemption at The Mint 400.
“Kahr Firearms Group is happy to continue supporting TheManSpot at The Mint 400 race ,” says Jodi DePorter, Director of Marketing for Kahr Firearms Group. “His passion for America, the U.S. Constitution, and shooting and outdoor sports show that our interests and his are well-aligned.”

CRKT Unveils its new Deadbolt Technology with new Seismic Folding Knives.
Tualatin, Oregon, U.S.A.
When Brazilian designer Flavio Ikoma introduced his new, incredibly strong Deadbolt™ technology to the product developers at CRKT® their jaws dropped. The rest is history. This locking mechanism employs steel bolts that interlock with the blade when it’s deployed to yield strength that’s turning heads. A prominent button sits at the pivot point for simple, intuitive disengagement without fingers crossing the path of the blade. Of his new technology and the designs he created to house it, Ikoma says, “these are both designed to be super sturdy and able to perform heavy-duty tasks. Both body shapes resemble a great white sharks that inspires fears and respect.”
The Seismic™ is an aerodynamic, no-nonsense folding knife. With an IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system and a highly-ergonomic G10 handle, it’s as attractive as it is useful. Both the Seismic™ and Seismic™ Black are built with a G10 handle; the Seismic™ features a satin-finished plain-edge blade while the Seismic™ Black features a black PVD-coated blade with Veff Serrations™.
Deadbolt is here to show the world that there’s strength in simplicity. The Seismic™ is definitive proof.

How IKBS™ Works
Designer Flavio Ikoma and Rick Lala invented this system that sets lubed ball bearings into the folding knife pivot. The result is rapid blade deployment that is smooth and fast.

Wanamassa, NJ (March 2019) – Eagle Imports, Inc., the exclusive distributor of Bersa and Metro Arms products and importers of S.P.S. Llama and Comanche firearms, announces the completion of an agreement with the Slovakian pistol manufacturer, Grand Power. The performance semi-auto pistol line was first introduced to the American public through the exclusive US distribution partnership with Eagle Imports in the fall of 2014.
“The Grand Power pistol line is unique and truly a well-designed, well-manufactured product,” Michael Sodini, president of Eagle Imports, Inc., said. “We are proud to have introduced them to the American public and wish the company the best success in their future here.”

Their #beginwithbersa campaign includes a new price line positioning for Bersa Thunder and BPCC series pistols. Additionally, Bersa introduced suppressor-ready, threaded barrel BPCC, Thunder .380 and .22 and the TPR9 and TPR9C pistols at the 2019 SHOT Show.
Changes in the product lines are reflective of Eagle Imports’ management’s driving principle to listen to their customer base and respond proactively.

Mental Health America and Walk the Talk America Join Forces to Combat Suicide
(March 1, 2019) – The current climate in discussions concerning gun violence and suicide by firearm in the United States tends to revolve around two subjects with one glaring stigma: the negative perceptions of the gun industry and mental illness.
What if a healthy dialogue can be forged between these two subjects? Can some concrete steps be taken in a positive direction so that we can “walk the talk” and bridge the gap between them?
Walk the Talk America (WTTA), a non-profit initiative supported by firearms importer,Eagle Imports, Inc., believes that yes, the steps can be taken to make this possible.
“We are the first organization opening the dialogue between the firearms industry and the mental health community,” said Michael Sodini, owner of Eagle Imports, Inc. and Founder of WTTA.
WTTA is taking the initiative to foster relationships with firearms companies that are willing to not only support and spread awareness when it comes to mental health, but to also take action. Working with Eagle Imports, Inc., WTTA is pleased to announce its Mental Health Flyer Program. Every purchase a new Bersa, Metro Arms, or Avidity Arms firearm comes with a flyer that provides a link to a free and anonymous mental health screening (wtta.org/love) from Mental Health America. WTTA’s goal is to have such a flyer, providing free awareness and support, included with all purchases of a firearm within the next two years.
Boxes will start shipping in late March or early April 2019, and in a single year, over 50,000 flyers will be distributed.
“Our future plans and policies are not only going to change the current culture and evolve awareness, but it will also save precious lives. Let’s work together to give the world a little more love and understanding. Let’s walk the talk together,” said Michael Sodini.
Screenings at WTTA.org/love allow individuals gain a deeper literacy regarding their present conditions and/or symptoms. By gaining a new understanding, the screenings can provide the ability to: recognize improvements at earlier stages, become aware of warning signs that preclude a relapse, and learn more about self-management.
Michael Sodini is working to increase as much awareness as possible about Walk the Talk America and the initiative’s big-picture mission. Currently, WTTA is proud to have the support of industry leaders such as the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Armscor, Gunvault, Renzulli Law Firm, Laura Burgess Marketing, Davidson’s, and Lipsey’s.

About Walk the Talk America:
Our mission is to fund research and development for outreach and promotion of mental health to reduce the misconceptions and prejudices that exist when it comes to mental illness and firearms. We believe we can be a catalyst for change by working with experts in the mental health industry. www.walkthetalkamerica.org

Nikon Announces PROSTAFF P3 Riflescopes
Melville, NY (February 2019) – Nikon proudly introduces the new performance benchmark for its family of dedicated hunting riflescopes: the all-new PROSTAFF P3. This next generation of PROSTAFF riflescope was designed to deliver Nikon’s legendary optical performance and mechanical consistency over a lifetime of tough hunting use.
Featuring a 3x zoom ratio optical system designed specifically for the needs of hunters, the PROSTAFF P3 applies multiple layers of anti-reflective compounds to all glass surfaces for bright and vivid sight pictures, optimum light transmission and maximum brightness from first to last light. Its generous eye relief is consistent throughout the zoom range to not only keep the user’s brow safe during heavy recoil, but to maintain positive cheek-weld during magnification changes.
PROSTAFF P3 riflescopes are built on an all-new, one-inch tube platform for enhanced durability and modern looks. All models feature aircraft grade aluminum tubes, turret caps, zoom rings and eyepiece focus rings with knurling that is easy to grip with bare—or gloved—hands.
Available in a wide range of models with reticle choices that include Nikon’s BDC, Nikoplex or Mildot—PROSTAFF P3 provides precise, ¼ MOA turrets with crisp movements that can be both heard and felt. These spring-loaded windage and elevation turrets can be instantly reset to “zero” after sighting-in for easy reference and in-the-field adjustments. All models are designed to be parallax-free at 100 yards, with the exception of the high-power 6-18x40AO models, which feature adjustable objectives for focusing from 50-yards to infinity.
The PROSTAFF P3 lineup includes matte and silver exterior finishes. As with all Nikon riflescopes, the PROSTAFF P3 is waterproof, fogproof and shockproof and is backed by Nikon’s No Fault Lifetime Repair/Replacement policy.
Lifetime Repair/Replacement Policy excludes lost or stolen products and intentionally caused damage.

The Congressional Oversight Committee – Michael Cohen Testimony
It’s Friday and time for a little weekend rest and relaxation. This week has been particularly interesting. We had a President overseas meeting with Mini-Me to negotiate denuclearization of North Korea concurrent with a completely tasteless session of the Congressional Oversight Committee taking testimony from Michael Cohen. Talk about a circus! If you sat through Cohen’s testimony, you need a good shoot the shit to get that out of your system. The guy just isn’t a liar but he has to be the most inept lawyer on the planet; fortunately, he was disbarred so he won’t be practicing law anytime soon. The convicts at his assigned facility won’t even ask him for legal advice. Keep in mind that a shoot the shits is far better than paying a jackass who studied psychology to understand himself or herself. Okay, here we go…
The Democratic party which once had a love of country and its citizens is gone! Over the years they’ve been irradiated by weapon’s grade plutonium and slid into schizophrenia producing luminaries like Beto O’Roke, Ocasio-Cortez, etc., etc. Their objective is to transition the country to socialism (1st step to communism) where it can then be guided by luminaries like Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez. Their strategy is precisely what I used to do in grade school and that is make wet toilet paper balls and throw them at the wall to see if they stick. In this case the wall is an uniformed voter that gets their information from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. That’s their objective.
Take for example Ocasio-Cortez’s questioning of Michael Cohen. First, I’ll bet you $5 that someone wrote those questions for her and that she rehearsed the presentation for at least a week before. But, so be it. Her questions are designed to paint a corrupt picture of the President. I want you all to keep in mind what I’m going to say below so that you’re equipped to draw your own informed conclusions.
-
In the United States of America tax avoidance is legal. Tax evasion (what Cohen was charged with) is not. This means that you as an individual or business entity can use any legal means to reduce your tax liability.
-
Asset valuation. This is a complex discussion for a number of reasons but the most common approach is FMV (Fair Market Value). Let’s say that you purchase a building that you subsequently rent out deriving a monthly revenue stream. For internal bookkeeping you record the purchase along with direct expenses related to the purchase (e.g. realtor fees, attorney’s fees and accountant’s fees) so on your books that building is shown at $1,000,000. In order to match current period income with expenses we depreciate the building using a number of formulas) but let’s say that over two years your depreciation is $30,000 that building is now recorded on the books at $970,000. The building also generates $200,000 a month in rents, which is recorded on the books as income. Life is good.
-
You now decide to open a restaurant, so you want to borrow money. You go the bank and ask for the loan. In the loan application you’re asked to list assets, so you list your building at $3,000,000 if you’re Ocasio-Cortez you call that fraud. What you as the building owner are doing is showing the building’s fair market value. Fair Market Values are estimates that reflect the value of the physical property along with its revenue generating potential. Not fraud! What the bank does is evaluate the quality of the asset and its suitability as the source of repayment (among other things) and makes the load on the basis of its analysis.
-
Over valuation of an asset to an insurance company. Assume that you have a factory producing widgets generating $5,000,000 a year in income but the building costs you $500,000 and all of the equipment cost you $1,000,000. If that facility burns down to the ground are you out $1,500,000? No, you are also out of an annual revenue stream of $5,000,000 so that asset is worth much more than $1.5 million. And the insurance company would underwrite that risk at the appropriate premium. Business as usual folks!
I hope that I’ve been able to shed some light on the Cohen testimony, as questionable and ambiguous as it was, but look, going forward I suggest that you clean your derriere with anything relating to The President that comes out of the Democratic Party. It’s not just a national embarrassment, it has a global fragrance that would violate anyone’s olfactory senses.
Have a great weekend, be safe and get a little range time in. Last, but not least, remember that you can make any unsupported statement, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone you wish or change the subject during a shoot the shit!

Steyr Arms USA Offers Free Two-Day Training as part of the Elite Experience
Steyr Arms USA Unveils Its Elite Experience, Includes Free Training
BESSEMER, Ala. (Feb. 26, 2019) — Last month at SHOT Show, Steyr Arms USA CEO Scott O’Brien unveiled the company’s newest and boldest plan for the American market, the Steyr Elite Experience. Based on the foundation of four pillars of performance—a limited lifetime warranty, a sub-minute-of-angle guarantee on all bolt-action rifles, free world-class training for buyers of almost every Steyr rifle and a host of elite VIP privileges—Steyr Arms USA is proving that the experience of buying a Steyr firearm doesn’t end at the cash register; it is just beginning.
The key takeaway from O’Brien’s presentation to an overflow crowd was the company’s promise to provide world-class two-day training to each and every purchaser of the company’s centerfire rifles with an MSRP of above $1,250 in 2019. This free two-day training course is hosted by world-class trainers as part of the Steyr Arms Academy. There are currently three Precision Rifle Courses, an AUG Carbine Course, a Scout Rifle Course, a Precision Hunter Course, and a course for the HS .50/.460, all of which are being taught at the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park.
“Our limited lifetime warranty and our long-standing sub-MOA guarantee aren’t really anything new to the industry,” said O’Brien. “But our complimentary training is what truly sets us apart. This training gives you the confidence in your abilities and will assure you that you made the best purchase of the most accurate and reliable firearms ever made.”
With the company’s move to a concierge-based status of consumer training and support, Steyr Arms USA has taken a bold new stance to promote its products as well as to prove them with the appropriate training in an educational environment. Everyone who purchases a Steyr rifle will come to “know the Steyr difference.”

Tabletop Review of BCB International FIREDRAGON Fuel and Multi-fuel Cooker
I have to admit to being a sucker for simplicity, and simple is a good thing rendering tranquility and even prolonging life. If you’ve studied art, you undoubtedly had the opportunity to experience Claude Monet. Monet, gave rise to the French Impressionist movement; gracing the art world with a simplicity and mastery of nature. His use of light is unsurpassed and remains the hallmark of the French Impressionist evolution. My point is that there is great beauty in simplicity and if you’ve ever been on outings, in service, or to simply enjoy the great outdoors where you’ve needed half a dozen gun bearers, you’ll definitely appreciate what I’m presenting here today, BCB International’s FIREDRAGON Green and Clean Solid Fuel and their new multi-fuel stove.
BCB International is a UK manufacturer of specialized equipment. If your needs are expeditionary, asymmetric warfare, peace keeping operations or security, BCB can supply what you need to carry out your mission as safely and effectively as possible. The company is a supplier to the British MOD. Their FIREDRAGON product line consists of survival equipment centered around exothermic technologies i.e. easily and efficiently generating and using fire under field conditions.
FireDragon’s fuel departs from the customary Hexamine and Trioxane tablets, which have a high energy density of 30.0 megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg), but they produce toxic gases when burning. In fact, Hexamine produces cyanide gas.
BCB’s fuel is an organic solidified ethanol that burns cleanly, with zero toxicity, so it’s safe to use and won’t hurt the environment. All important attributes given the DOD’s direction to becoming a GREENer organization. FireDragon fuel is even safe enough to sanitize your hands after your morning glory and before you prepping your breakfast MRE. Each block will burn for 8 minutes, even if wet, and boil 500ml of water in 5 minutes – keep in mind that boiling times vary with altitude. Commercial packaging contains 6 blocks and retails from $11 to $5.
FireDragon’s multi-cooker is a compact and reusable stove that is fuel agnostic; of course, it works best with FireDragon’s fuel blocks but you can use any conventional jell or solid fuel.
When you unbox the stove you encounter an aluminum box measuring 4.4” x 2.9” x 1.0” that also store three fuel blocks. The entire thing easily fits in a cargo pocket so it’s very compact and extremely light weight, and when you’re out in the field saving ounces counts.
Opening the stove requires no assembly or tools, you simply open the two flaps exposing a pan that will hold the ethanol jell. There’s also a wind shield that plays two roles, it protects the flame from wind and provides structural support keeping the flaps from inadvertently closing under weight.
Once fully deployed, the end result is a field expedient cooking system that is light weight, uncomplicated, multifunctional and boils water in 5 minutes. I’ll bet you could even cook up a nice river trout, some fatback and scrambled eggs using this fuel and stove.
What’s the cost? Online, about seven bucks for the stove and five bucks for the fuel. I see no reason why you should not have the FireDragon fuel and stove in your bug out bag, or in your emergency preparedness kit at home or in your vehicle. It’s like a Monet, elegance in simplicity! Get some. –SP

Safe AND Accessible, Introducing Reach, Designed by Vara Safety
Reach is a biometric safe that is as fast as a holster and as secure as a safe.
Latham, N.Y. (February 2019) – Vara Safety, a company dedicated to designing and combining biometric technology with firearms safety, announce Reach, an innovative biometric firearm safe. Unlike any other product on the market today, Reach is the one solution for responsible firearms owners wanting to secure their home defense firearms from unauthorized users, yet keep a fully loaded firearm immediately accessible.
Trigger locks, safes and a myriad of other firearms safety solutions keep firearms away from curious children and family and friends that should not have access, as well as intruders. The problem that Vara Safety founder, Timmy Oh, kept running into was, when and if a home invasion occurred, stress and darkness made access to the firearm all but impossible. But the idea of keeping a loaded weapon accessible was also not possible because the results could be just as dire. Absolute security was essential, as was the ability to quickly access the handgun without negotiating locks, loading magazines, or finding keys. What Oh found out was people were interested in something that was simple, quick and very secure.
Hence, Reach was born.
The Reach handgun safe is as easy as grabbing your gun. In the natural draw position, the thumb aligns on the biometric fingerprint sensor. Reach unlocks in half a second, and only for a designated user. Reach allows up to five users to be authorized. When the handgun is placed within Reach, the locking mechanism secures the firearm, even from forced removal and it also prevents accidental discharge by securing the trigger.
Reach can be secured to the charging mount (mounting screws provided) and only removed with the provided backup keys. The charging mount keeps Reach fully activated and an internal battery keeps Reach accessible in an emergency power outage. The provided backup keys can remove Reach manually.
Reach is constructed of high-strength metal alloy in a sleek, brushed stainless finish. One Reach can work for multiple models. Each handgun model uses a patented molded composite polymer insert that securely keeps the firearm locked. To change out the insert, simply use the backup key to unlock Reach and change. Reach is lightweight at 1.45 lbs. and its 8.25” x 5” x 4” dimensions make it easy to fit anywhere at home, in the office or in a vehicle.
“Reach has been extensively tested and prototyped. We worked with law enforcement, families with kids, busy households and gun owners of all levels,” Oh added. “Reach fulfills all of their demands; it keeps a home protection firearm totally secure and it makes it instantly accessible through the latest in biometric technology.”
Reach will be available to customers in the first part of summer 2019. First models offered include all GLOCK® pistols, standard 1911 pistols, M&P Shield, Springfield Armory XD-S and other most popular handguns used for home protection.
Vara Safety has launched a pre-order campaign through an email sign up on their website. Vara Safety is offering an exclusive $100 off the retail price of $299 a unit for signing up. Reach Safe includes a Holster Insert (of the customer’s choice), charging mount, mounting hardware, charging cable, backup keys and user guide.
For more information on Vara Safety and their unique biometric firearms safe, Reach, visit www.varasafety.com,
About Vara Safety:
Incorporated in August 2017 and located in upper New York State, Vara Safety is a company dedicated to bringing the latest biometric technology to firearms safety. The first product is Reach, a patented biometric handgun safe that allows the user to simultaneously unlock the firearm using a fingerprint reader while drawing the handgun in ready and safe position, will be available to consumers in the summer of 2019. www.varasafety.com

TRACT Optics™ Introduces TORIC 12.5×50 Binocular
HUMMELSTOWN, Penn. – February 26, 2019 – TRACT Optics has announced the addition of the all-new TORIC 12.5×50 binocular to its growing line-up of high-end, feature-filled optics. With the release of the new TORIC 12.5×50, TRACT continues to build on its strong reputation for delivering quality optics directly to consumers, so that the needs of hunters, shooters and outdoor enthusiasts can be met to the fullest extent with the greatest possible value.
Featuring highly prized SCHOTT HT (high transmission) glass for superior image quality, the TORIC 12.5×50 binocular combines this proven level of optical clarity and color brilliance with an increased 12.5x magnification for improved long-range viewing. The combination of Fully Multicoated lenses and prisms, dielectric prism coatings and phase correction coatings ensures a higher level of light transmission over a larger part of the visible spectrum while the Flat Multicoating enhances the color brilliance and increases light transmission over a wide spectrum of light, especially in the green spectrum.
“At TRACT, we always listen to our customers and it was based on their feedback that we’re now releasing the new TORIC 12.5×50 binocular,” said TRACT Co-Founder Jon LaCorte. “By adding a 12.5×50 model to our flagship TORIC binocular line, we can offer the benefits of the higher, 12.5x magnification with the excellent low-light performance of 50mm objective lenses. Combined with world renowned SCHOTT HT glass, the TORIC delivers exceptional resolution, color brilliance and a better overall viewing experience – all of which are extremely important for the western hunter.”
Combined with standard features like a magnesium alloy body, Argon filled waterproof and fogproof construction and multistep eyecups with rounded edges, these enhancements deliver incredibly sharp and bright images. A locking diopter eliminates inadvertent movement of the diopter in the field. The large ocular diameter enhances the ability to see detail, while the ultra-high-definition ED glass and oil-phobic/scratch-proof/smudge-proof coating provides first-rate performance.

HOGUE INC ANNOUNCES NEW HANDALL BEAVERTAIL GRIP SLEEVES TO FIT THE GLOCK 17
Henderson, NV – Hogue Incorporated is proud to announce the newest additions to their line of precision fit HandALL Beavertail Grip Sleeves with 2 models uniquely designed to fit the Glock 17. “The Glock 17 is a favored pistol for law enforcement, military and personal use all over the world” said grip designer Matt Hogue. “We are pleased to offer our highly popular HandALL Beavertail Grip Sleeves to fit this firearm. The reliability of the Glock 17 paired with the perfect fit of our HandALL make it a perfect combo for field carry or personal use at home. Two variations are available to ensure a perfect fit: the first made for Glock Generations 1, 2 and 5 and the second for Generations 3 & 4.”
The Hogue HandALL Beavertail Grip Sleeve is installed by fitting it over the Glock’s polymer frame until it seats perfectly into position. The sleeve is precision manufactured to provide a secure and comfortable fit. Once installed, the HandALL sleeve’s finger grooves offer instinctive handling and control of the firearm. The grooves lead into a gentle palm swell that has been carefully designed to fit naturally in the hand. The beavertail built into the grip sleeve rises high along the backstrap of the frame. This provides hand comfort higher on the grip. In addition, the beavertail also cushions the hand during recoil by providing better distribution of recoil forces. These
built-in features provide comfort and confidence which in turn promote accuracy.
The HandALL is built from a long-lasting durable thermoplastic elastomer compound. This rubber ages very gracefully and keeps a firm, tacky feel throughout the life of the grip. It will not harden, split or crack with age or use. The surface is covered with Hogue’s familiar Cobblestone™ texture, a series of small circular bumps that provide an efficient non-slip, non-irritating grip on the rubber. The Glock 17 HandALL Beavertail Grip Sleeves have an MSRP of $10.95 for black, and $12.95 for OD green, flat dark earth, aqua, pink and purple.
Hogue products are manufactured in their family-owned and operated facilities under the direct supervision of the Hogue family. Hogue, Inc. supports local dealers and encourages customers to purchase Hogue products locally. For more information please call Hogue directly at 1-800-438-4747 or visit http://www.hogueinc.com to find a Hogue dealer near you.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation and the National Crime Prevention Council Release Two New ‘McGruff Gun Safety’ Videos for Young Children
‘Molly’s Mischief’ and ‘Not Cool, Kyle’ teach students from kindergarten to 6th grade to ‘Stop! Don’t touch! Get away! Tell an adult!’
NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®) has partnered with the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) to produce two new firearms safety videos starring McGruff The Crime Dog® and his nephew Scruff® to help teach young children how to react should they see an unsecured firearm.
The new ‘McGruff Gun Safety’ videos deliver the compelling message of “Stop! Don’t touch! Get away! Tell an adult!” so that children immediately know what to do in a situation where a gun is unattended, or if a classmate brings a gun on to school grounds, or finds a gun at home to show friends.
The videos, created by Danger Pigeon Studios, use animated characters to hold the interest of young children. They deliver their important gun safety messages in approximately 120 seconds. The video titled “Molly’s Mischief” is designed for viewing by children in kindergarten through 2nd grades, and “Not Cool, Kyle” is for students in grades 2 through 6.
McGruff is joined in both videos by his nephew, Scruff, and some new friends. Together, Scruff and his friends apply the “4 Steps of Gun Safety” from McGruff that help them make the best decisions around a potentially troublesome situation. They are shown in scenarios that make it easy for children to understand how to be safe around unsecured firearms and to recognize that toy guns are very different from real guns.
“We encourage parents, school administrators and teachers to show children these ‘McGruff Gun Safety’ videos and make sure they understand the powerful safety message they deliver,” said Steve Sanetti, CEO of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for the firearms industry. “Through this collaboration with the National Crime Prevention Council, we hope to teach children nationwide how to make good, safe decisions around firearms.”
“NCPC is thrilled to partner once again with NSSF on the important issue of gun safety,” said Ann Harkins, President and CEO of the National Crime Prevention Council. “The videos are informative and an entertaining way for kids to learn about McGruff’s 4 Steps to Gun Safety. This is a crucial time in today’s society to educate the public and get people engaged in talking about what to do to prevent tragedies from occurring in our communities.”
An accompanying discussion guide, activity sheet for each video, and McGruff’s Gun Safety Pledge will provide opportunities for teachers and parents to review the firearm safety lessons provided by each video, encourage repeat viewings, and reinforce how children should safely react if they see a firearm when adults are not around.
“Molly’s Mischief” and “Not Cool, Kyle” can be streamed on NCPC’s YouTube Channel, on NCPC.organd at ProjectChildSafe.org. Additional firearm safety materials are also available atProjectChildSafe.org. The McGruff titles also are included on the NSSF Firearms Safety DVD along with five other firearms safety videos. Educators can access the complete classroom program, including lesson plans for each video, on this site.
NSSF and NCPC are proud of their work together over three decades with McGruff delivering safety messages to children to help prevent gun-related accidents.

Help Make Project ChildSafe® a Jersey Mike’s®Designated Charity to Support Firearms Safety
Did you know in 2018 Jersey Mike’s submarine sandwich shops gave more than $6 million to over 170 charity partners during their annual Month of GivingProgram?
Many charities benefit from the generosity of Jersey Mike’s, and the Project ChildSafe® Foundation, which supports NSSF’s® Project ChildSafe firearms safety program, would like to be one of them.
Here’s how it works: Each year, during the month of Marcha percentage of sales is donated to Jersey Mike’s designated charity partners. On the Day of Giving, 100% of all sales are donated to those charities. Each individual Jersey Mike’s location decides which charities to support during its Month of Giving campaign.
That’s awesome, right? You can help Project ChildSafe become a designated charity partner by contacting the manager of your local Jersey Mike’s and asking for Project ChildSafe to be added as a designated charity partnerduring March, the Annual Month of Giving. And, if there is more than one Jersey Mike’s location in your area, please ask each location to add Project ChildSafe as a designated charity partner.
Once Project ChildSafe is a confirmed designated charity partner, be sure to tell everyone you know to eat at that Jersey Mike’s location throughout the month of March and especially on the Day of Giving March 27, 2019.
We would love to hear which Jersey Mike’s you have approached on behalf of Project ChildSafe by emailing us at PCSStaff@nssf.org.
Thank you for your support!

Parabon® NanoLabs to Exhibit at the 50th Annual California Homicide Investigators Association (CHIA) Training Conference
The 50th Anniversary event will be held at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, Feb. 26 – Feb 28, 2019.
Reston, Va. (February 2019) – Case Managers from Parabon® NanoLabs will be exhibiting during the 50thAnnual California Homicide Investigators Association (CHIA) Training Conference, to be held at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, Feb. 26 – 28, 2019. As an extra bonus, Parabon’s Chief Genetic Genealogist, CeCe Moore, will also be at the booth Tuesday 26 February, ready to talk one-on-one with CHIA attendees about genetic genealogy and how Parabon’s services may be able to assist with their investigations.
Since last year’s CHIA conference, Parabon has provided information to law enforcement that has led to the resolution of over 40 of the most violent cases imaginable. Parabon’s Snapshot services include:
Snapshot Genetic Genealogy: This service is the combination of genetic analysis with traditional historical and genealogical research to study family history. For forensic investigators, it can be used to identify remains by tying the DNA to a family with a missing person or to point to the likely identity of a perpetrator.
Snapshot DNA Phenotyping: This service produces predictions of ancestry and appearance from a DNA sample and includes a composite image. It is ideal for cases where there are no genetic genealogy matches. With an in-depth Snapshot Composite Report and Report Guide, you can focus your investigation and operate more efficiently.
Snapshot Kinship Inference: Unlike traditional forensic DNA methods, which are extremely limited in their ability to determine kinship past parent/child relationship, Snapshot can detect relatedness out to 9th-degree relatives (fourth cousins). If there is any suspicion whatsoever as to whether a family member may be involved in a crime against a victim, this single inexpensive test can be used to include or exclude the victim’s entire biological family, potentially saving months of investigative legwork.
The mission of CHIA is to provide investigative support, training and networking opportunities to homicide investigators, crime scene investigators, prosecutors and death investigation professionals throughout the Western United States. The annual training conference attracts upward of 800 homicide detectives, crime scene investigators, coroner investigators and prosecutors from across the nation. During this three-day event, the participants attend notable case presentations and training seminars. In addition, the conference provides a fertile environment for networking, individual case evaluations and discussions regarding the latest investigative techniques and technologies with some of the top investigators and prosecutors in the country.
About Parabon® NanoLabs, Inc.:
Parabon® NanoLabs is a vertically integrated DNA technology company that develops next-generation therapeutic and forensic products, which leverage the enormous power of DNA. Staffed by a uniquely qualified team of scientists and technologists, with expertise ranging from bioinformatics and oncology to chemistry and computer science, the Company is bringing to market revolutionary new products and services made possible by recent advances in DNA sequencing, processing, and manufacturing technologies.
