Wixom, MI. — Trijicon Inc., global provider of innovative aiming solutions to military, law enforcement and individual consumers, is excited to offer a $100 consumer rebate on the Trijicon RMR®cc beginning July 1 and running through September 30, 2022. Only RMRcc optics purchased during this period will be eligible for the $100 rebate.

The rebate will be managed online at RMRccRebate.com where consumers can find terms and conditions along with the required proof of purchase information to receive the rebate. The rebate will be in the form of a check mailed directly to the consumer in 8 to 10 weeks after completion of the required online form.

Weighing a mere 1 ounce with battery installed and measuring less than 1 inch in width and height, the RMRcc is ready to pair with any pistol to provide the ultimate concealed carry setup. The RMRcc is constructed from 7075-T6 aluminum, tested to Military standards, and backed by The Science of Brilliant® testing methodology that Trijicon applies to every product. Its patented shape absorbs impacts and diverts stresses away from the lens and is designed to withstand the rigors of hard use under the most severe environmental conditions.

The RMRcc keeps all the great features of the RMR, including easy-to-use buttons, a common 2032 battery with up to 4 years of illumination, and a wide variety of mounts to fit today’s most popular concealed carry pistols. The RMRcc is available in either a 3.25 or 6.5 MOA dot size and provides a bright, illuminated aiming point under any condition. Best of all, the RMRcc is parallax-free, meaning simple “point and shoot” operation with superior accuracy. Read more

Bond Arms’ Stinger and Stinger RS

The Stinger and Stinger RS – Bond Arms’ Newest Derringers are Lighter, Slimmer and Deliver a Double-Shot of Venom

Granbury, TX (July 5, 2022) – Bond Arms is well-known for its compact, yet powerful, personal protection pistols. After years of research and development, the Bond Arms team released the Stinger – its lightest, smallest derringer ever. It has the familiar fit, feel, function, and reliability of other Bond double-barrelled pistols in an ultra-concealable and super-comfortable size and weight configuration. The Stinger is currently chambered for either 9mm or .380 auto. It’s made from advanced modern materials and engineered for durability.

The Stinger uses a slim, aluminum frame that is precision milled from a billet of 7075 aluminum, known industry-wide for toughness. A black hard-coat anodized finish further shields the frame in use. A generously sized, integral trigger guard protects the trigger, yet allows easy access. Slim, high-impact, Zytel, composite grips pair with the wasp-waisted pistol’s narrow profile, making it perfect for concealability. The Stinger also includes standard-sized, rubber grip panels for those who prefer a larger grip.

A stainless steel firing pin block inset into the aluminum frame strengthens the receiver and allows for the firing of +P rounds. The release lever, cross-bolt safety, hammer, and trigger are also stainless steel; adding steel parts in these critical areas enhances the Stinger’s durability. The Stinger’s 3-inch barrels match the frame’s narrow 0.55-inch profile and is available in 9mm and .380 auto, with a .22 long rifle model on the horizon. Read more

FPC Files Brief to SCOTUS Against “Special Needs Exception” for Gun Seizures

WASHINGTON, DC – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and FPC Action Foundation (FPCAF) today announced the filing of a brief with the Supreme Court in the case of Torcivia v. Suffolk County, which challenges the government’s ability to enter private homes and seize firearms from an individual suspected of no crime, and subject to no penal control or supervision. These seizures, which the Second Circuit categorized as a “special-needs exception” to our Fourth Amendment rights, are a clear violation of our rights and a perversion of justice. The brief can be viewed at FPCLegal.org.

“The Second Circuit’s application of the ‘special needs’ exception—the rejected ‘community caretaking’ exception by another name—would allow many of the home intrusions the founders vehemently opposed, undermining the Constitution and centuries of tradition,” argues the brief. “Its dismissive treatment of the Fourth Amendment is part of a larger trend in which lower courts are undermining the Bill of Rights to avoid protecting firearms and firearm owners.” Read more

Invasive beech leaf disease found in Michigan

The Michigan departments of Natural Resources and Agriculture and Rural Development recently confirmed the presence of invasive beech leaf disease in a small, private woodlot in southern St. Clair County, located in southeast Michigan.

With no known treatment available for beech leaf disease, its potential spread through the region could have a devastating effect on beech trees, already under attack from beech bark disease.  Landowners reported the suspected beech leaf disease outbreak in St. Clair County through the Midwest Invasive Species Information Network after noticing stunted, odd-shaped leaves on young beech trees in a wooded area on their property. DNR forest health staff collected samples for preliminary testing by the Michigan State University Forest Pathology Laboratory. Read more

Bugs to Beat

By Glen Wunderlich

Charter Member Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA)

Summer is here and the list of fun things to do is endless in Michigan.  Fortunately for outdoor enthusiasts the recent dryness has kept mosquitos from hatching and otherwise posing their usual threats to our enjoyment of fresh air.  At the same time, however, there are plenty of active insects and biting bugs to spoil our fun, if we are not prepared.  Here are some of my favorite bugs to hate.

*  Deer flies:  These terrorists are more than annoying and rule the air near low-lying areas near damp/wet vegetation.  They are attracted by sight, smell, or by the detection of carbon dioxide that they utilize for breathing.  If a person tries to outrun them, he or she should be wearing their fast shoes, because they will chase prey relentlessly at about 10 miles per hour.  Female deer flies enrich their diet with the blood to develop eggs, when they win the race.  They are particularly attracted to dark colors – especially blue but tend to ignore light colors, which make more sense in hot weather anyway.

*  Yellowjackets: “Yellowjacket can be dangerous, as we move into the later part of summer because they get aggressive, territorial and more intolerant, especially if you get close to their nest,” says Howard Russell, Entomologist, Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences at Michigan State University.

Be careful when mowing lawns, because they live underground and will defend their nest vigorously if disturbed.

There is a risk of anaphylaxis or a deadly allergic reaction to a bee sting. It is rare, but some people are extra sensitive to bee stings. If you know you are at risk for anaphylaxis from a sting, you should be carrying your prescribed epinephrine auto-injector with you anytime you go outdoors during spring, summer or fall.

Hikers should throw a bottle of Benadryl into their bag when hiking. If you get stung and start to become itchy or have some hives appear, you can take some and mitigate your body’s histamine response.

*  Ticks:  Already this season, I’ve found two of these bloodsuckers attached to my scalp and neck.  They’re almost impossible to detect unless seen or felt.  Be vigilant to spot these arachnids on children or pets after time outdoors.

Consider applying a tick repellent such as permethrin to clothing, because clothes will remain protected after several washes (in the event things get damp out there). You can also use repellent sprays on skin not covered by clothing—just be sure they’re EPA registered.  Make sure to follow label instructions.  Some clothing may be purchased pretreated or spray is available for application.  Note:  Permethrin is highly toxic to cats, so keep them away while spraying.  Once everything is dry, there is no danger to cats.

*  Stink bugs:  They seem to be everywhere but pose no threat to humans, other than the offensive odor they give off when smashed.  A single feeding puncture can kill a plant, so these invaders are not welcome in landscape specimens or gardens.

Soapy water spray will kill stink bugs, as well as just about any creepy crawlers or buzzing menaces without the associated toxicity of most chemicals.  It’s good indoors or out and a great alternative to expensive, commercial products at a fraction of the cost.

Lehigh Defense Ammunition Available At Wilson Combat

 Berryville, Arkansas 

Wilson Combat is proud to announce the availability of Lehigh Defense loaded ammunition on shopwilsoncombat.com.

Now available – Xtreme Defense ammunition in 9mm, .45 ACP, .380 ACP, 10mm, and .40 S&W. Xtreme Defense is machined from solid copper with the most advanced technology called Fluid Transfer Monolithic.

The progressive geometry allows for deep, straight penetration while creating a permanent wound cavity diameter exceeding that of most expanding bullets. Penetrating barriers such as drywall or heavy clothing prior to impacting the intended target doesn’t have the potentially negative effect on the Xtreme Defense that it does to conventional hollow point bullets.

Controlled Chaos ammunition in 300 Blackout, 300 HAM’R, .223 Remington and .308 Winchester. Controlled Chaos bullets offer both rapid expansion and deep penetration. Once fluid is impacted, they shed the front portion of the bullet into multiple petals that radiate outward away from the bullet’s initial trajectory path resulting in a massive energy spike. The bore diameter base of the bullet continues and penetrates deeply in a straight line. Both the temporary and permanent wound cavity created by this bullet separation is dramatic resulting in quick incapacitation.

A full line of Lehigh Defense bullets are now available including Maximum Expansion, Controlled Fracturing, Match Solid, Wide Flat Nose, Controlled Chaos, Xtreme Penetrator, Enhanced Xtreme Penetrator, Xtreme Defense, and Enhanced Xtreme Defense. Read more
