Caron Forensics Introduces Rapid Access Defense Weapons
Storage An Innovative Weapons Storage System
Caron Forensics Rapid Access Defense Weapons Storage RAD2
Caron Forensics
Marietta, OH, --(Ammoland.com)- Caron Forensics introduces Rapid
Access Defense (RAD), the newest and most innovative product on the
market for weapons storage. RAD is specifically designed for the storage
and fast presentation of defensive weapons in a wide range of home and
office environments.
RAD comes in two sizes: a two foot model, RAD2, and a four foot model,
RAD4. They can be surface mounted horizontally or vertically, ideally in
a concealed location, such as a bedroom closet, home or business office
or your family’s emergency meeting place. RAD is the solution to store
tactical defense weapons safely away from both children and thieves,
while still providing quick access to the user.
Caron Forensics Rapid Access Defense Weapons Storage RAD4
Weapons are stored by means of specially designed accessories that clip
to the twin rails inside RAD. You can mount a wide variety of rifles,
shotguns, handguns, ammunition, knives, flashlights and other weapons
in stealthy yet efficiently positioned locations. The design allows you to
customize RAD with infinite combinations and positioning of accessories
along the rails.
“RAD is ideal for both experienced and new gun owners who
want a fast, economical way to secure their home defense
handguns, shotguns or rifles,” said Caron Chairman Steve
Keiser.

“Because they are easily mounted on a wall almost anywhere
in your home or business, they are a far more attractive and
practical alternative to large, heavy safes or small single-
handgun boxes.”
The cabinet includes a strong key-lock latch to keep unauthorized
persons out. Matching keys are available for owners who want to
position multiple RADs around the house. A unique gas spring
deployment system opens the cabinet with a short pull, enabling the use
of both hands to quickly access multiple tactical items.
“In an emergency, users will appreciate that they can
immediately get to their handguns and other weapons of
choice from positions and orientations they have chosen and
practiced ahead of time,” Keiser said.
“We recognize that in home defense situations, people
typically arm themselves with more than just a pistol. They
also grab a flashlight, a cell phone and perhaps a knife or
pepper spray. The RAD system is designed for that type of
scenario.”
The robust cabinet is fabricated of powder coated steel. Accessories
designed to hold weapons (such as the magnetic clip) have a protective
plastic or foam coating.
The RAD2 comes standard with a handgun holder, a flashlight/pepper
spray holder and a magnetic clip. A pair of rifle/shotgun hooks, a
flashlight/pepper spray holder and a magnetic clip comes standard with
the RAD4. Additional accessories include a small shelf (ideal for ammo)
and two styles of holster clips. The bottom lip of the cabinets is designed
to hold rifle and pistol magazines, shotgun shells, speed loaders, moon
clips and other items.
The RAD system is designed for the home defense market, and is
currently undergoing evaluation by law enforcement agencies to
determine if there are further applications, including home cabinets for
LE personnel, SWAT team use and to hold additional weapons and
ammo in the trunks of police cruisers.
Addressing the need for an improved weapons storage method for new
gun owners and veteran gun owners alike, RAD is unlike any other
product on the market. Caron Forensics intends to sell the RAD systems,
along with its fingerprint development products, directly through its new
website, www.caronforensics.com. To learn more about RAD or to buy
them online directly from Caron, visit the website.
About Caron Forensics:
Caron Forensics, part of Ohio-based laboratory equipment maker Caron
Products & Services, is one of the leading manufacturers of high-tech
Fingerprint Chambers, used by federal, state and local forensics labs and
law enforcement agencies to rapidly process latent fingerprints using the
Ninhydrin and DFO techniques. The RAD systems are made in Marietta,
Ohio.

Obama Forbids Sale of 850,000 Antique Rifles To US Citizens
The administration’s decision was based on concerns that the guns could
fall into the wrong hands…US citizens?
Fox News
Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- The South Korean government,
in an effort to raise money for its military, wants to sell nearly a million
antique M1 rifles that were used by U.S. soldiers in the Korean War to
gun collectors in America.
The Obama administration approved the sale of the American-made
rifles last year. But it reversed course and banned the sale in March – a
decision that went largely unnoticed at the time but that is now sparking
opposition from gun rights advocates.

A State Department spokesman said the administration’s decision was
based on concerns that the guns could fall into the wrong hands.
“The transfer of such a large number of weapons — 87,310 M1 Garands
and 770,160 M1 Carbines — could potentially be exploited by individuals
seeking firearms for illicit purposes,” the spokesman told FoxNews.com.
“We are working closely with our Korean allies and the U.S. Army in
exploring alternative options to dispose of these firearms.”
“It seems to have this implication of destruction, which would be
tremendously wasteful,” he said. “These are guns that should be in the
hands of American citizens for marksmanship and safety training.”
Asked whether melting the guns down would be a good option, Henigan
said: “Why let them into the country in the first place? If there is a legally
sufficient way to keep them out, we think it’s perfectly reasonable to do
so.”
“M1s are used for target practice. For history buffs, they’re highly
collectible. We’re going to continue to make sure that this backdoor
effort that infringes not only on lawful commerce but on the Second
Amendment is rectified.”
Henigan disagrees. “They clearly were used as military guns, and the fact
that they likely can take high-capacity magazines makes them a special
safety concern,” he said.
The White House referred questions on the issue to the Pentagon, which
referred questions to the U.S. Embassy in South Korea, which deferred
back to the State Department.

solid win with his seven stage wins,” said Michael Voigt,
president of the U.S. Practical Shooting Association.
Finishing second behind Jordan was Chris Keen of Dayton, Ohio with
one stage win and a final score of 997.3022. Third place went to Michael
Hollar of Conover, N.C. who also won one stage and finished with
971.9118.
Rounding out the top five were Gilbert Perez of Sevierville, Tenn. in
fourth with a stage win and 936.9887 points, and Micah Barcelo of
Xenia, Ohio in fifth with 895.1595.
Paul Hendrix of Jamestown, N.C. finished sixth overall and claimed the
Senior Limited-10 title with a final score of 817.3453.
The TechWear USA Area 8 Championship drew 278 top competition
shooters. It is one of the eight USPSA shooting regions in the country
and is made up of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Virginia.
The run-and-gun sport of practical shooting was formally established in
1976 but traces its roots back to the 1950’s and the quick draw “leather
slap” competitions that grew out of America’s love affair with the TV
westerns of that era.
Today the sport represents the upper echelon of the shooting sports with
many of its top shooters actively training law enforcement and military
units on shooting techniques and equipment developed in competition.
The next major pistol competition on the USPSA calendar is the 2010
USPSA Handgun National Championships scheduled for October 8
through 16 in Las Vegas, Nev. For more information, visit
www.USPSA.org or follow @USPSA_Shooting on Twitter.

the mags one’s holding 15 9mm rounds, and the other is holding
15….plastic airsoft BB pellets.
It’s an airsoft gun, often considered to be a toy and recreational item. But
they can be so much more. Many law enforcement agencies are utilizing
them already with great success. And you can get in on it too. Airsoft
fields and events can be an invaluable and inexpensive tool to reinforce
gun safety, combat preparedness, and proper use of a firearm for
defense.
Airsoft is different from air rifles and pellet guns in that they use
standardized airsoft 6mm plastic bb’s that weigh far less than metal
pellets or sabots, and are perfectly safe in a controlled play environment.
There are an increasing number of airsoft clubs and airsoft organizations
establishing multiple day events that can be attended for a set fee.
They’re run on weekends, centered around military scenarios, and the
core skills practiced are valuable to real world preparedness. There are
varying degrees of immersion, ranging from “play and go back to the car
for a snack” to full airsoft milsim, where one acts, functions, and
performs like a real military force for the entire duration. These latter are
great for testing weapons skills.
Most events are in outdoor wooded areas, while some are more modeled
after urban environments. Each type has its own advantages to real
firearms training. Wooded areas teach players to scan large areas quickly
to look for potential threats. They also put hunting camo to the test by
seeing how effective it is against the ultimate target –watchful human
eyes. Urban areas teach how to use cover effectively and about lines of
fire and engagement.
For those that don’t have the time to dedicate a weekend or full day to
these events, there are even small walk-in arenas where one can pay a
flat fee for the entire day. They operate on round based team-on-team
matches. The downside is that anyone can join in, so you’ll have lots of
younger teenage boys playing war gung-ho, which can detract a bit from
the experience. Find a group of like-minded friends, and it can make for
both a fun and educational experience.
Proper Weapon Usage
Airsoft teaches proper weapon usage, maintenance, and safety
precautions. Most airsoft guns in the mid-range price look, feel, and
function as close to the real steel guns as possible. Most pistols are 1:1
true to scale, so if you own a real pistol, you can find its airsoft version
and even use your carry holster to train smooth drawing. A few popular
models made by airsoft manufacturers are 1911′s (both single and double
stack), m92s, USPs, and Sig P226 series pistols. Some gas airsoft pistols
even disassemble the same way as the real thing! Real firearms training
is great for becoming accustomed to the physical feel of shooting a gun,
but airsoft simulation events teach valuable self-defense tactics in actual
firefights scenarios against other people.
Physical Fitness
Another often overlooked benefit is physical fitness. Running around all
day from cover point to cover point with adrenaline rushing is fantastic
exercise. Just make sure to stay hydrated! You’ll be sweating a lot more
than you think. It also trains your body to react well under stress and
flight/fight situations. The more you’re exposed to these moments, the
faster your brain is able to process the correct actions and pathways,
your muscle memory knows exactly how to draw your weapon , cock it,
and fire it, and reload it. When you can do these actions unconsciously,
you have more presence in the moment to make combat decisions.
Warrior Mindset
The most important skill learned at these events is mindset. You can put
all your tactical gear and holsters through real world paces and
determine what works, and lose what doesn’t. You learn to distinguish
between friend and foe. You’ll hone your aiming and marksmanship
skills on real targets who will react and move. You’ll learn how to use
your weapon defensively, so you’ll train yourself how to respond – rather
than react – to surprises and potential threats. And if you’re “killed” you
can learn from your mistakes, so you survive next time!

Centerpoint Hunting And Outdoors Unveils Redesigned Website
CenterPoint Hunting and Outdoors
ROCHESTER, NY –-(Ammoland.com)- CenterPoint Hunting and
Outdoors, a division of Crosman Corporation, a leading supplier of
products for the shooting sports, has launched a newly designed, menu-
driven website, centerpointhunting.com, for its crossbow archery and
precision optics products.
Crosman’s web and social media manager, Chip Hunnicutt,
states that, “The new site embodies the company’s
commitment to the hunting category. By enhancing the site,
we’re providing customers and visitors with an attractive and
effective presentation of information, we’re able to convey the
strength of our product offering and enhance brand
perception.”
Adapting to the more sophisticated needs of visitors to the site,
centerpointhunting.com provides a clearer presentation of product
specifications and available accessories.
“Information is presented in an easy to understand, dynamic
fashion that highlights important features and provides
details allowing customers to make informed choices,” said
Vice President of Marketing Bob Hampton.
For example, the Game TAG Series Scopes with ballistic crosshairs are
described in a helpful progression of animations.
Sara DeMuzio, optics product manager comments, “Actually
demonstrating the reticle and its operation on the website is a
helpful tool for sales, customer service, and consumers. The
reticle detail on the new website is much larger and displays
not only the type of reticle, but illumination options shown in
varying light conditions. It serves as a teaching tool.”
Resources offered on the website encourage visitors to learn
about the products before making a purchasing decision.
“Even after customers have made a purchase, they can visit
the resource page for downloadable owner’s manuals, mil-dot
calculators and answers to frequently asked questions,” said
DeMuzio.
Other features new to the site include a “brand bar” at the top of the
page for convenient navigation between the CenterPoint Hunting and
Outdoors, Crosman and Game Face Airsoft websites. The brand bar
incorporates a shared shopping cart among all the sites so customers can
purchase scopes, accessories, airsoft and airguns, all on the same order.
If customers are shopping on a budget or looking for something specific
like dovetail rings for their scope, they can simply check their desired
criteria on the “Narrow Your Results” sidebar. The products are then
filtered and instantly displayed. The site even remembers what choices
have been selected so the same results are displayed upon returning to
that same page. A newly added 5 star rating scale gives customers the
opportunity to share overall satisfaction ratings of their purchases.

“The focus on the user is apparent in every aspect of the site,”
says Hunnicutt. “It takes no more than two clicks to get to
any product, and the new blog features products in action
with ever-changing videos, articles and photos.”
Crosman encourages the use of social media networks to enhance user
experiences on the website and with products.
“Facebook, Twitter and YouTube improve connections with
our audience while establishing a business presence. In
addition, that presence helps us build our community
initiatives and maximize the impact of our cross promotional
efforts,” according to Hunnicutt.

designed website, or on any Crosman, Benjamin, CenterPoint Hunting
and Outdoors Precision Optics and Archery, or Game Face Airsoft
