“You can’t hunt with that! Why do you need an AR-15!?!?!”
You have probably heard that before. In fact, you have probably even heard it from other gun owners who are “pro-gun” (I am rolling my eyes as I type). AR15News.com’s newest t-shirt design seeks to answer that question in a very honest way. Check out the new shirt at AR15News.com.
A lot of companies say they “support law enforcement” and for most of them that seems to mean nothing more than they allow officers to buy their products. At Blue Force Gear, they put their money where there mouth is…
From Spirit of Blue:
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – March 11, 2014 — The Spirit of Blue Foundation is excited to announce that Blue Force Gear has increased its support in 2014 with a $10,000 donation. The donation was formally presented by Blue Force Gear in its booth at the NSSF’s annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 17th. The donation will be used to fund the Spirit of Blue Safety Grant Program, which awards grants to law enforcement agencies for the purchase of safety equipment or training in an ongoing effort to protect officers’ lives.
“Spirit of Blue’s vision coincides with our mission to support those who defend our safety and freedom,” said Ashley Burnsed, founder and CEO of Blue Force Gear. “It is our privilege and honor to play a role in their efforts to raise awareness and provide better equipment so that officers make it home safe.”
“For the past three years Blue Force Gear has proven to be one of our strongest supporters, providing for our work in a number of ways,” commented Ryan T. Smith, Executive Director of the Spirit of Blue Foundation. “Without their commitment we simply wouldn’t be where we are today.”
The Spirit of Blue Foundation actively encourages the public at large to honor and appreciate law enforcement officers who serve to protect our communities. By supporting the Spirit of Blue Foundation, the public can make an impact in the lives of law enforcement officers every day.

What happens when you break boards with a GWACS Armory CAV-15 MKII lower receiver, then run it over with a Jeep a few times, shoot it a few times, and put it through a shooting competition in between the board breaking, running over, and shooting it?
Not much.
A good survival kit starts with a good container. The new Kit Container from Vigilant Gear is certainly that.
The Kit Container is made from hard anodized aluminum to keep weight to a minimum while still offering the multiple functions that make metal containers useful in this application like the ability to heat water. The lid has reflective material inside that can be used for low light signalling and its 4.1″ x 2.5″ x 1.4″ size gives you quite a bit of capacity to work with when it comes time to stock the kit.
Best of all, the Kit Container has an integrated rubber gasket and Velcro straps that can help keep the contents dry and intact. The gasket is an especially nice feature that moves the Kit Container to the front of the line when it comes to metal survival kit containers.
Check out the new Kit Container at Vigilant Gear.
Terry Clausen, the Blue Force Gear Dino, looks pretty happy. Either he is stoked about their St. Patrick’s Day Special Green Sling or he drank his way to the bottom of one too many green pints. It may be a little of both.
