Brownells Supports Gun Owners of America with 5% Sales

Sunday, July 27th, 2025

GRINNELL, Iowa (July 21, 2025) – Brownells is standing up for the Second Amendment this week by donating 5% of all website sales to Gun Owners of America (GOA), an organization dedicated to protecting and defending the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

From Monday, July 21, through Sunday, July 27, every purchase made at Brownells.com will help support GOA’s mission.

Why Your Support Matters Now

GOA is currently leading the charge in courtrooms across America, challenging unconstitutional gun control laws, executive actions, and federal overreach.

Gun Owners of America is actively engaged in some of the most critical Second Amendment legal battles today, including a forthcoming federal lawsuit to dismantle the remaining provisions of the National Firearms Act. Along with a lawsuit challenging the United States Postal Service’s handgun mailing ban as unconstitutional and inconsistent with America’s founding traditions. Additionally, Gun Owners of America has defended the right to build and own homemade firearms while fighting back against ATF overreach on forced reset triggers, pistol braces, and other regulatory abuses.

Brownells is proud to stand with GOA and its no-compromise mission to defend the rights of law-abiding gun owners.

Be Part of 2025 GOALS

In addition to financial support, Brownells is proud to partner with GOA in inviting all freedom-loving Americans to attend the 2025 Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit (GOALS), the premier event for gun rights activists, brands, and community leaders.

PSQ Payments Partners with Atrius Development Group to Provide Payment Services After Sudden Cancellation From Former Vendor

Friday, July 25th, 2025

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.– PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PSQH) (“PublicSquare” or the “Company”) today announced its new partnership with Atrius Development Group, a leading innovator in precision rearm components, after the sudden cancellation of Atrius’s payment services by a major vendor. PSQ Payments collaborated closely with the Atrius team to onboard their business, restore checkout functionality, and ensure uninterrupted access to their high-quality rearms components for their eager customers.

“This partnership with Atrius is a reminder that for PSQ Payments, our financial technology efforts are about much more than just processing payments; it’s about standing up for American businesses that are being unfairly targeted,” said Michael Seifert, Chairman and CEO of PublicSquare. “Atrius builds high-performance components for firearm owners protected by the Second Amendment, and we are proud to ensure they receive the respect and service they deserve. PSQ Payments continues to expand its reach across industries affected by financial censorship, with highly competitive rates, live US-based support, and mission-aligned services to freedom-loving businesses nationwide.”

Atrius is known for its agship Forced Reset Selector for the AR-15 platform. However, the company faced unexpected disruptions to its business when its previous payment processor terminated their relationship without warning, citing ideological objections rather than compliance issues or operational concerns. This left the Atrius and its customers in a sudden bind, unable to complete legitimate transactions for legal products.

Atrius resumed full online checkout capabilities within days of the transition. The partnership highlights the shared mission of both companies: defending free enterprise, supporting pro-liberty businesses, and providing alternatives to financial institutions that prioritize politics over principles.

“At a time when we were facing real adversity and being overlooked or mistreated by the very partners we once trusted, PSQ Payments stepped in, not just as a financial partner, but as a believer in our mission,” stated Ryan Spadafore, Founder & CEO of Atrius. “As an American-made company built by everyday Americans and veterans alike, our foundation is rooted in advancing the 2A rights of all Americans. The PSQ Payments team understood that, and their support gave us the breathing room to regroup, rebuild, and stay aligned with our purpose. Our singular focus has always been impact, and this partnership was a turning point for Atrius Development Group. Together we win.”

NP Aerospace Launches Their Proven Through-Life Support Services Package into the Civilian Armoured Vehicles Market

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025

NP Aerospace, the global vehicle integrator and armour manufacturer, has launched their proven through-life support services package into the Civilian Armoured Vehicles (CAVs) market. NP Aerospace currently supports over 18,000 vehicles across 30+ armoured, tactical, logistic and utility fleet types for a range of customers, globally, including the UK PMETS and CVSSP contracts. The know-how, practices and procedures developed to deliver this support are now being specifically shaped and offered into the global CAV marketplace, where it is estimated that there are over 100,000 vehicles in service across military, government, NGO and private security applications.

Support in this sector, to date, has been ad-hoc and decentralised. This fresh initiative will offer a one-stop-shop for fleet managers, no matter what vehicle types they may be operating.

In 2024, following the acquisition of certain assets of Jankel Armouring Limited, NP Aerospace inherited an established business stream in the specialist area of CAVs that includes both product (armoured vehicle designs, such as the Toyota Land Cruiser LC300) and support services, delivered to a range of globally deployed in-service CAV fleets – around 100+ vehicles across 8 customers. In the last 12 months, a number of former Jankel supply and support CAV contracts have been novated to NP Aerospace and the continued support to global customers has been a key requirement of that transition process. Now, 12 months on, NP Aerospace is launching the CAV support capability offering more widely, to ensure that the very best support services can be delivered to current customers but also to expand that proven service offering across the global fleets. Potential new CAV support clients range from ministries of defence to NGO’s, and individual vehicle fleets are widely spread in terms of deployed geography. NP Aerospace recognises the resultant challenges and has developed a robust service offering that can be trusted to deliver and includes the additional and significant capabilities and expertise developed through NP’s legacy activity in this operationally critical vehicle support services arena.

Specifically, NP’s CAV support services package is vehicle type agnostic and includes: handover and commissioning; operator and maintainer training; deployed support (Field Service Representation – FSR); spare parts; service and maintenance; post design services; refurbishment and mid-life improvements; and secure disposal/destruction. NP Aerospace has recently increased the team size of this department by 50%, attracting some key talent to specific roles, to enable the successful delivery of this service offering – reassuring their specialist CAV customers.

James Kempston, CEO of NP Aerospace, commented: “This is an exciting milestone as we expand our proven through-life support services into the civilian armoured vehicle (CAV) market. Drawing on our experience supporting over 18,000 military and security platforms worldwide, we are applying our expertise and trusted capabilities to civilian fleets, regardless of their operating environment. Importantly, this support isn’t limited to vehicles we manufacture – it can be delivered for any vehicle type, operated by any fleet manager, anywhere in the world.” He added: “At the same time, our LC300 armoured Toyota platform not only meets key requirements for compliance, protection, and safety – it’s also engineered with a strong focus on reliability and maintainability. By combining competitive pricing with extended service life through robust support, the LC300 delivers outstanding full-life value.”

JULY 18, 2025: Hanwha Aerospace has named Mr. Ben Hudson as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to spearhead the company’s defence operations in Europe and the UK.

“I am honoured to join our European and UK defence leadership team at such a pivotal moment for both our company and our European partners,” Mr. Hudson said. “Hanwha’s long-term vision starts at the very top of the company, with a drive to partner with our customers and create enduring sovereign capabilities that can deliver solutions to the defence and security challenges faced by nations now and into the future.”

He is a mechanical engineer with an MBA from London Business School, served as an Officer in the Australian Army, including operational service in East Timor, and holds both British and Australian citizenship.

Mr. Hudson’s appointment comes as Hanwha accelerates its strategic expansion in Europe, strengthening its position as a trusted defence partner capable of delivering localised, interoperable, and rapid capability solutions to NATO member states and European allies.

With programmes already underway in several countries, such as Poland, Romania, Norway, Finland and Estonia, Hanwha is deeply committed to building a strong industrial footprint across Europe—supporting local economies, transferring technologies, and investing in sustainable defence ecosystems.

“As Hanwha looks to further globalise our business, we are very pleased to appoint Ben—who brings deep experience across European defence markets—to this key role leading our business in Europe and the UK,” said Mr. Michael Coulter, President and CEO of Hanwha Global Defense, which oversees all global business campaigns.

“Europe represents a vital part of Hanwha’s long-term, multi-domestic strategy, where we seek not only to expand our footprint, but also to invest in sovereign capacity and industrial resilience in partnership with local stakeholders,” he said. “Hanwha is fully committed to working closely with our European partners for national priorities, and this appointment marks the beginning of the next phase of our journey—one grounded in trust, long-term collaboration, and shared security goals.”

Hanwha’s Footprints in Europe

Hanwha’s presence in Europe dates back over 40 years, beginning with the establishment of Hanwha Europe GmbH in Eschborn, near Frankfurt. Today, Hanwha continues to expand its regional footprint through major investments and partnerships in countries such as Poland, Romania, Norway, and the UK.

Over the past decade, Hanwha has delivered five 37,000-ton Tide Class Replenishment at Sea (RAS) ships—four to the United Kingdom and one to Norway—demonstrating the company’s naval shipbuilding capability and trusted delivery record.

In the land systems domain, Hanwha has secured contracts for the delivery of more than 800 K9 Self-Propelled Howitzers to multiple European countries, including Poland, Norway, Finland, Estonia, and Romania. As part of its strategic cooperation with Poland, Hanwha is also delivering 290 Chunmoo Multiple Rocket Launch Systems to bolster the country’s long-range firepower.

In addition, Hanwha is a major supplier of artillery modular charges to NATO customers in Europe. The company has also established deep industrial partnerships across the continent to facilitate the export of European-manufactured components and technologies in support of Korean and international defence programmes.
