Nocpix Launches RICO 2 Series of Thermal Weapon Sights

Nocpix, a leader in cutting-edge thermal imaging technology, is proud to announce the launch of the RICO 2 Series (Rugged Infrared Compact Optic), a new line of advanced thermal weapon sights built for serious hunters and shooters. The RICO 2 Series features four distinct models—the S75R, H75R, H50R, and L42R—each designed to deliver uncompromising performance, precision, and rugged reliability in the field.

At the heart of the RICO 2 is advanced imaging technology paired with precision-driven features. Hunters will experience exceptional clarity thanks to a ?15 or ?18 mK NETD rating for superior thermal sensitivity, while the high-resolution 2560×2560 round AMOLED display ensures a comfortable, immersive view. The series also introduces smooth digital zoom control for seamless target acquisition. A hallmark of the RICO 2 Series is its integrated 1,200-yard laser rangefinder paired with a ballistic calculator. By simply inputting bullet velocity and ballistic coefficient, shooters gain instant drop calculations for extended-range precision, transforming the optic into a powerful long-distance tool.

SCI Seeks to Join Lawsuit Challenging Florida Black Bear Hunt

This week, Safari Club International filed a legal motion, supported by SCI’s Center for Conservation Law and Education, to intervene in a lawsuit that seeks to nullify Florida’s recently authorized 2025 black bear hunt. The lawsuit, funded by anti-hunters, challenges the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) August decision to authorize this hunt, the first in a decade.

SCI has long been a vocal advocate for a legal, regulated black bear hunt in Florida. SCI is proud to defend the recommendations of Florida’s wildlife science officials and the interests of the state’s hunters in court against anti-hunters who insist on denying the science of wildlife management and the essential role of hunting in reducing black bear population expansion.

The FWC’s allocation of 172 black bear tags is a very conservative number based on population data, rising human-bear conflicts, and the 300-plus vehicle strikes that Floridians and bears suffer each year. With Florida’s growing black bear population leading to more human-bear conflicts, and even a fatal attack this past summer, proper bear management has never been more urgent. Yet Bear Warriors United, an animal rights group with a history of ignoring science, has twice filed suit over this regulated hunt. SCI looks forward to defending the FWC’s science-based decision in court. Read more

FPC Slams Judicial Betrayal as District Court Abandons Supreme Court 2A Test

Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) issued a scathing rebuke of the Northern District of Texas, which, in a profound act of judicial abdication, delivered an erroneous opinion upholding the federal government’s unconstitutional prohibition on the acquisition of handguns by peaceable Americans in Elite Precision Customs v. ATF.

Despite the clear mandates of the Supreme Court’s binding Bruen opinion, the Trump Administration shamefully defended this unconstitutional regulatory scheme, adopting the rhetoric of gun control extremists by arguing that this fundamental, enumerated right can be dismissed as merely subject to “reasonable commercial restrictions” and a “minimal burden on the right to acquire arms.” The district court—wrongly—agreed with the government.

“In short, the Court holds that the Sale Restrictions do not function as a de facto prohibition on possession but rather a reasonable commercial restriction enacted by Congress,” said Judge Pittman in his decision. “Consequently, the Court holds that the Sale Restrictions do not violate the Second Amendment.”

Said FPC President Brandon Combs, “This ruling is nothing short of judicial abdication. The court chose to ignore the clear mandate of Bruen and instead applied the very sort of test the Supreme Court rejected three years ago. The right to keep arms inherently includes the right to acquire them, and federal regulations that prohibit peaceable Americans from purchasing handguns across state lines are patently unconstitutional. We reject the fiction that infringing upon a fundamental, enumerated right is merely a ‘modest inconvenience’ that can be deferred to Congress. We will appeal this horrifically flawed decision to the Fifth Circuit.” Read more

SAF Victorious in Post Office Carry Case

The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas has ruled in favor of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in a case challenging the ban on possessing and carrying firearms in United States Post Offices.

In granting summary judgment in favor of SAF, the court granted both declaratory and injunctive relief, declaring the ban unconstitutional and preventing its enforcement for the plaintiffs, including SAF members. Originally filed in June 2024, the lawsuit challenges the ban on firearms carry in U.S. Post Offices and on postal property. SAF is joined in the case, FPC v. Bondi, by the Firearms Policy Coalition and two private citizens.

“Millions of people across the country visit the U.S. Post Office as part of their daily routine,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “As we’ve stated throughout this case, there is no historical tradition of banning firearms at post offices, and peaceable Americans all over the country should not be forced to choose between using basic postal services and the exercise of their fundamental rights. Today’s ruling is an encouraging step towards restoring these rights.” Read more
