Protect The Force Inc. Enters into Agreement with Emergstat Technologies LLC to Promote Wound Treatment Technology

Wednesday, May 8th, 2013

Some very cool news from the guys at Protect The Force regarding a new lightweight bioactive wound dressing/pack from EmergStat Technologies LLC.

Protect The Force Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mission Ready Services Inc. has entered into a consulting agreement with research and development company, EmergStat Technologies LLC. In return for an equity position in the Company, PTF will introduce and advance EmergStat’s wound management technologies to military and first responders worldwide.

Uncontrolled bleeding (hemorrhaging) continues to be the leading cause of preventable combat-related deaths and ranks second in civilian trauma incidents. EmergStat’s proprietary technology centers on a new lightweight bioactive wound dressing/pack which offers a plethora of potentially life-saving benefits including the following:

1. stops bleeding in less than two minutes at any point on the body;
2. easy application by a medic or the wounded soldier themselves;
3. prevention of infection via localized delivery of antimicrobials;
4. direct pain-relief through a controlled release of analgesics;
5. ready-to-use with no special preparation or training;
6. breathable to aid wound healing, and;
7. stable under harsh climatic conditions for extended periods of time

In addition to EmergStat’s innovative wound dressing solutions, the Company is also developing a nanofibrous bioactive dermal dressing composed of a non-degradable electrospun polymer barrier and a biodegradable layer. The non-degradable layer will prevent further trauma by protecting the wound site from mechanical stress and bacterial infection while the degradable polymer layer will incorporate antimicrobial, tissue ingrowth and vascularization agents.

TNVC Supporting Our Second Amendment Rights

Wednesday, May 8th, 2013

We received this note from our great friends at TNVC who were at last weekend’s NRA Annual Meeting in Houston. Even though they are a night vision company, they understand how important our fundamental right to keep and bear arms is to America.

As some of you were aware, we were down in Houston Texas attending the NRA show were over 70,000 showed up to show their support. An amazing show to say the least and we were honored to have NRA Executive Director Chris Cox stop by and talk about night vision. Kyle (our Director of Govy/Mil) is seen below explaining the finer points with some of our NV Gear.

Kyle also mentioned Gov. Perry showed up briefly and poked his head between the crowd to look at some gear. We wanted to talk with him, but the booth was incredibly crowded at that time.

We here at TNVC are extremely Pro-Gun and obviously have deep rooted beliefs in the 2nd Amendment. So you all know, each and every employee here at TNVC are also Lifetime Members of the NRA. We’re proud to support our constitutional rights and we hope each and every one of you are engaged in strong support.

Magpul Updates Status Of Move – Reveals Nothing…These Guys Are Good

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

Magpul posted this update regarding the status of their move from Colorado following the passage of a slew of anti-firearms legislation including a new law that makes their flagship product, the 30 round PMAG illegal. Although it’s an update, they reveal no details. Very well played. There may be a future in politics for you after all, Magpul.

We’d like to thank the tens of thousands of visitors to our booth at the NRA show as well as the numerous posters here on our FB page for your support and for the generous invitations to relocate to your home states. While at the NRA show, we had the opportunity to speak with representatives from various gun-friendly states, including the Governor of Texas and his staff. We have some additional visits and meetings that will be taking place in the near future with the short list of remaining potential locations. Numerous preparations for executing the move while minimizing disruptions to production are already underway. As mentioned previously, we have already started moving some of our production out of CO. There are many factors at work in our decisions, including business climate, tax structure, legislative environment, regulatory burdens, culture, workforce, etc., and any decision that did not consider all these areas carefully would not only be ill-advised, but irresponsible to our employees, our customers, and the brand. We are eager to make more specific announcements as soon as we can responsibly do so without sabotaging our ongoing efforts and negotiations, and we appreciate your support and understanding until then.

High Threat Concealment & Rogue Gunfighter Join TAG for SOFIC 2013

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

Be sure to visit HTC, Rogue Gunfighter and TAG at next week’s SOFIC in Booth #951. At SHOT Show their booth was swamped and I couldn’t get a word in edgewise to talk to them. Hopefully, I’ll get a chance to catch up with them at SOFIC.

Following up on their debut at this year’s National Shooting Sports Foundation’s SHOT Show, High Threat Concealment will be partnering again with Rogue Gunfighter, LLC and Tactical Assault Gear (TAG – by Durham, North Carolina based LC Industries) at the 2013 Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC).

High Threat Concealment™ specializes in the development of low-profile / high capability tactical gear for close protection and low-visibility operations in restrictive or non-permissive environments. Last year, HTC™ joined forces with LC Industries (who owns Tactical Assault Gear) in a partnership to expand and enhance manufacturing capabilities and distribution potential. As an industry leader in providing career opportunities for the blind and visually impaired, LC Industries brings a unique combination of talents and expertise in providing quality products and services for the US government and its component agencies.

This unique partnership with LCI and low-visibility innovators such as Rogue Gunfighter, HTC™ is poised to address the ever-increasing demand for products designed around current tactics favoring a reduced tactical profile in both domestic law enforcement and throughout current theaters of war.

Look for High Threat Concealment™ products, available now through the Tactical Assault Gear Store, and stop by Booth #951 at SOFIC to see the latest products from HTC™, Rogue Gunfighter and TAG.”
