Now Troy Industries seems to be following the same pattern. Recently they hired ex Chicago PD Chief Jody Weis as an instructor. True, Weis has an impressive background in firearms. He also worked tirelessly to ban the majority of firearms that Troy Industries manufactures.
Well, apparently that didn't last long. From a member on IllinoisCarry:
Troy Industries is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. In recent months, we have been more vocal about our beliefs, choosing to align ourselves with companies and individuals who are like-minded.They need to do a bit more background checking though as another one of their new 'instructors', Dale Monroe, was Lon Horiuchi's partner at Ruby Ridge and was also planning on 'taking the shot'.
In response to the reaction of our customer base, Jody Weis will not be joining the Troy Asymmetric cadre of instructors.
We value the thoughts and concerns of our loyal customers. Troy Industries and its affiliated companies are strong supporters of the Second Amendment and will continue to promote this right through our products, statements, actions and affiliations.
Thank you

I enjoy your blog very much as I like to keep an eye on my neighbor (Illinois). It is informative and witty. Until today I have never read anything that made my jaw drop until I read:
"For some reason, some firearm companies don't entirely realize the background of their spokespersons. A while back, HS Precision hired the FBI 'sniper' who murdered the woman at Ruby Ridge"
Surely you understand why Lonnie was hired? He gave them a "bad boy image" as Lonnie had been blooded.
J-Fled gives Troy door grease. Opening doors with the folks Jody met at seminars and conventions. Troy was acting within their business interests and was scope locked on door grease and forgot that the gun culture is really, really good at remembering who their enemies are.
Shootin' Buddy
I sent them a not to nice e-mail telling them that I will not do business with a company that hires gun haters and government murderers.
Looks like another MI rail is in my future, not Troy.
