Wixom, MI --(Ammoland.com)- Trijicon, Inc., global provider of high quality, innovative aiming solutions to military, law enforcement and individual customers, has decided to withdraw its participation and support of the 2013 Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

“We, at Trijicon, are very disappointed in the decision of Reed Exhibitions to ban the display of Modern Sporting Rifles from the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show.”, said Tom Munson, V.P. of Sales & Marketing for Trijicon.

“Many of Trijicon’s loyal customers are responsible and law-abiding owners of these types of legal firearms and we will not support any organization that attempts to restrict their display or purchase.”

Trijicon is prepared to reconsider its support of future Eastern Sports and Outdoor Shows if Reed Exhibitions should reverse its stance regarding Modern Sporting Rifles.

For more information on Trijicon’s Brilliant Aiming Solutions for the hunting, shooting, military and law enforcement markets, contact Trijicon, Inc. at (248) 960-7700 or visit www.trijicon.com.

He also said the bullets didn’t exit the bodies. I know that if I shot someone at close range with a .223 round the bullet would exit the body even if it was a hollow point or frag round.

A refusal to buy from British manufacturers and merchants was part of the early pressure the colonies put on Great Britain.

Q. What used to be the pride of the Americans?

A. To indulge in the fashions and manufactures of Great Britain.

Q. What is now their pride?

A. To wear their old clothes over again, till they can make new ones.


Benjamin Franklin, Testimony Against the Stamp Act (1766)

Its also important to note that Franklin warned the Brits that they were going to cause a war.

That is certainly a strange fact given the velocity of the .223 round, but I am not sure of this in all situations.

I have a platform waiting for one for some time, but in the obama economy I’ll have to wait longer. Not quite ready to sell something else for it.

And If the big arms manufacturers would get on board with the boycotts and refuse to sell them to LEOs, SS, FBI, who support the ban it might turn the tables in a very surprising way. Of course we already know the tactics Obama will use if they do that. A lot of preparation would be in order to deal with 0’s mob tactics

That’s what I heard as well. On the other hand, quite a few might have a case against the organizers for breach of contract at this point because they can’t exhibit what they thought they could when they paid money originally.

Point of impact couldn’t have been more than 10 feet.Muzzle velocity at about 3200 ft./sec. with a JHP.Can’t imagine it wouldn’t be through and through.

“Assuming that he is telling the truth”

That would be a big assumption since it’s Connecticut! The truth will not “get in the way” of the “never let a good crisis go unused” crowd! We are at the point where we can’t trust anything any government entity says, because it’s “the agenda uber alles.”
Just look at the State Parks situation here in California. “We’re out of money, we’re going to have to close many of the state parks. Oh, wait a minute we just “found” $54 million we didn’t know we had!” And quick like a bunny, those responsible “resign” to avoid going to trial for their misdeeds.

Now I know the gun-grabber leftists are exploiting this crime to push an agenda that they had ready to go in the event that something like this would occur, but there would have to be a good number of very corrupt people in Connecticut to lie about the weapons used at the scene. These would include paramedics, policemen, shooting survivors, and the coroner’s department. I think that if an AR-15 was not used at Sandy Hook and its use was fabricated a lot of people would have to lie about it and this lie would be difficult to conceal for very long. Let’s see what they produce in their investigation before we jump to conclusions about it.

Back on topic... Hurray for all manufacturers who are quitting this lame, politically-correct gun show.

I just sent Trijicon an email thanking them for standing up for our rights, and letting them know I will shop for their products in the future.

I am a supporter of the finest night sights available on the market today. I currently have their sights installed on my SR1911 and have one of my LC9's being outfitted with Trijicons. Supporting them financially is the best way I know of.
