ATK Acquires BLACKHAWK!

By Aaron on April 13, 2010 No Comments

The latest acquisition news surrounds the purchase of BLACKHAWK! by global giant ATK. I’m a fan of BLACKHAWK! gear and of many of the ATK products (Federal ammunition, for example), yet I find myself somewhat apprehensive about this latest acquisition.

When a large conglomerate scoops up a great company like BLACKHAWK!, I wonder if the new corporate structure will squash the innovation and “out-of-the-box” thinking that the smaller company used to be successful. All too frequently we have seen this take place in tech acquisitions. I hope this will not be the case with BLACKHAWK!

As a side note, ATK also recently acquired tactical gear manufacturer Eagle Industries.

RKBA Holsters Adds Sig P238 Holster to Line-Up

By Richard on September 17, 2009 No Comments

p238RKBA Holsters, makers of leather pocket holsters, announced they are now making pocket holsters for the Sig Sauer P238.

The Sig P238 has been a hot seller this year, and demand for quality holsters has been heavy.  RKBA Holsters stepped up with their new P238 pocket holster to help fill the void.

I previously reviewed the pocket holsters from RKBA Holsters, and I found that they are quality holsters, that do the job well, at a great price.

Right now, shipping time is estimated at 2-3 weeks.  I found that RKBA Holsters ships very quickly, and is very responsive to e-mail inquiries.

At only $36, including shipping, you would be hard pressed to find a less-expensive leather pocket holster.

Sig Sauer Resumes Shipping Two Magazines with Pistols

By Richard on June 4, 2009 No Comments

Sig Sauer began shipping only one magazine with all commercial pistols in March 2009.  Sig Sauer has now recinded that policy, and is once again shipping two magazines with every commercial pistol sale.sig_sauer_magazine

Sig claimed that the decision to ship only one magazine was based on the inability of their magazine supplier to keep up with demand.  This meant that Sig was manufacturing guns, but could not get an adequate supply of magazines to make them run. Read More…

Sanity in Journalism: An Editorial About Guns and Teachers

By Richard on January 6, 2009 No Comments

Ladies and Gentleman -

When I thought all sanity had long since fled from the hallowed halls of journalism, I find this editorial by Geoff Oldfather:

We entrust teachers with the lives of our children and give them enormous responsibility.

We expect them to not only teach “reading, writing, ‘rithmetic” and a dozen other subjects, we increasingly expect them to handle responsibilities like sex education and “anger management” and other issues that used to be dealt with in the home.

Why then do we deprive teachers of their basic right to self-defense?

Take the question further. If it involved self-defense at a school campus, the lives of our children are probably at stake as well — and we’re going to expect teachers to protect our children with what? A textbook?

It’s a valid question as the Martin County School District and other districts re-write their policies prohibiting firearms at schools to be in line with Florida’s “bring your guns to work” law that lawmakers approved last April and took effect in July.

The law allows Florida residents with concealed weapons permits to keep firearms in their cars at work, even if employers have a policy prohibiting firearms.

Except at schools.

Other workplaces where you can’t have a firearm in your car are correctional facilities, nuclear power plants, military and government buildings and anywhere explosives are stored.

The exception for teachers, especially, does not make sense.

“Why is it that a person can be trusted on one side of a school parking lot and not on the other side?” Stuart attorney Jeff Kirsch asked.

Kirsch is an advocate for responsible firearms ownership, as I am. He’s handled firearms-ownership cases and is chairman of the National Rifle Association Foundation’s Martin County chapter annual dinner and fundraiser.

“I think teachers ought to be treated like anyone else. Schools used to be like any other job and for whatever reason we’ve now carved out some kind of ‘safety zone,’ and it just doesn’t make sense,” Kirsch said. “We don’t trust teachers to make the right kinds of judgments? Isn’t that what they’re paid for?”

Superintendent Nancy Kline calls it “a tough issue.”

“Should there be adequate security? Absolutely, and we’re reviewing with the (Martin County) sheriff’s office the levels of security at all campuses,” Kline said.

“But should that be something teachers are involved in? I don’t know,” Kline said.

I do.

We don’t like the idea of guns on an airliner but today’s reality means pilots are packing heat.

So, teachers should be allowed to have firearms in their cars even at school. I’ll take it further: Considering how vulnerable our campuses and our students are, if teachers are trained and have concealed weapons permits that require background checks and training, they should be allowed to carry them wherever they go.

Even in the classroom.

There are two polls on the same page as the editorial regarding teachers and firearms.  Feel free to drop by and add your two cents.
