Chairman’s Message: Company Culture

Posted by Bill Sumner on 9/4/24 10:41 AM

I had the opportunity to speak with several friends in the industry over the past couple of weeks and a common reoccurring topic that continues to drive our conversations has almost exclusively been around company culture.  There’s no doubt that many of our organizations have changed over the years, some for the better, and others for the worse.  Change is an inescapable reality, but what we often fail to do is to protect the very values that once drove our past successes.

President's Message: Who You Choose Matters

Posted by Kenyon Gleason on 8/15/24 5:26 PM

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more absurd… in comes Massachusetts and says, “Hold my beer.”

As if to prove to the world they weren’t quite restrictive enough in their approach to gun laws, Massachusetts recently passed some of the most intrusive and likely unconstitutional, anti-gun laws in the country. And if you believe their legislators (hint - you should), they’re proud of the fact that they did it and know full well they’ll get sued. If only we could all be so cavalier with the use of taxpayer funds to fight lawsuits for things we don’t happen to like or understand.

Posted by Bill Sumner on 7/30/24 4:49 PM

President's Message: Let This Be The Last

Posted by Kenyon Gleason on 7/15/24 2:41 PM

I was 11 years old the last time someone took a shot at a President. Fortunately, that attempt on the life of Ronald Reagan was unsuccessful. Some of you reading this maybe weren’t even born yet. The announcement by Dan Rather of CBS was shocking. Back in those days you still huddled around the radio or TV and couldn’t find immediate pictures and video information from the internet like we can today. News like that was breathtaking, surreal and certainly very unusual.

Chairman’s Message: State of Panic?

Posted by Bill Sumner on 7/1/24 1:53 PM

Oh, what summer has brought us!  From record high temperatures to torrential rainfall across many parts of the country, mother nature has its own way of creating chaos and panic. However, we can’t always avoid natural occurrences that come our way, and sometimes, mother nature can be easier to deal with than our own self-inflicted disarray and discord.

One of the most frequent questions I get asked by members and non-members alike is, “How are things going in the firearms industry?” I always find it to be a great question and depending on who is asking, the reason for the ask and what they hope to hear can be quite different.
