PolyCase Ammunition Names CMG Marketing & Events and Murray Road Agencies of Record

August 10th, 2017

PolyCase® Ammunition has announced that CMG Marketing & Events and The Murray Road Agency will become their Agencies of Record effective immediately. CMG will be responsible for public relations, media buying and event planning and Murray Road will cover creative services and social media.

PolyCase has been adopted as an excellent alternative to traditional ammunition in the self-defense, hunting, law enforcement and military markets. Terminal effects, accuracy and reliable performance from these lighter, faster polymer projectiles are revolutionarily different from traditional ammunition. The Inceptor® and Ruger® brands of ammunition are growing in popularity and the new team will focus on continuing the momentum and increasing exposure with customers and consumers alike.

“CMG’s expertise in media planning, public relations and event planning stands out from the crowd,” said Ric Brown, Sr. Vice President of Operations of PolyCase. “We have an ever-broadening product line and a diverse customer base that requires targeted and strategic engagement. The Murray Road Agency has a unique understanding of our industry and what it takes to move the needle. The ability of these two established agencies to manage our marketing efforts will be a major factor in our success.”

As part of the overall program, CMG will handle all elements of media buying and planning, including day-to-day contact with media outlets and their sales representatives. In addition, CMG will be responsible for all public relations and editorial product requests and will be the point of contact for all media inquiries to PolyCase. CMG will also oversee trade show and event planning needs.

The Murray Road Agency will assume responsibilities for all creative and marketing services as well as social media planning and execution.

“We are excited to be partnering with the PolyCase Ammunition team,” said CMG President Cathy Williams. “We will ensure the PolyCase brand is present in the most prominent publications and digital platforms. We are also here to help our influential endemic media obtain products, information and assets for their editorial needs. We look forward to helping the brands and company continue to grow.”

AKTI – Colorado Allows Automatics Effective Today

August 9th, 2017

The American Knife & Tool Institute shared some great news with us.

Today Colorado joins the growing number of states that recognizes the value to their citizens of automatic knives at work or in recreational activities. SB 008 signed into law removes “switchblade knife” and “gravity knife” from the definition of “illegal weapon” in Colorado § 18-12-102.

“This momentum is evidence that Americans continue to realize that automatic knives are tools that can be easily deployed with one hand, providing a real utility for law abiding citizens,” noted CJ Buck, AKTI President. “And AKTI is proud to lead the path in these common sense reforms.”

The American Knife & Tool Institute thanks our members in Colorado for their tremendous help in getting this legislation across the finish line, Senator Owen Hill and Rep. Steve Lepsock for shepherding the legislation through the Colorado legislature, and our supporter John Bloodgood for encouraging his legislators to introduce this change with AKTI’s assistance and help drafting the legislation.

Senator Owen Hill

“Colorado continues to show that we are pioneers and westerners, and we will give people every tool available to keep exploring and working” said Senator Hill. “It has been a pleasure working with Rep. Lebsock and the American Knife and Tool Institute to repeal Colorado’s automatic knife prohibition.”

The American Knife & Tool Institute cautions knife owners that concealed carry of any knife with a blade over three-and-one-half (3-1/2) inches is still illegal in Colorado, except for hunting, fishing or sport use. Also, knife owners need to be aware that some cities in Colorado, such as Denver, have additional knife restrictions. While Colorado does not have a statewide knife law preemption, Colorado § 18-12-105.6 offers limited protection to knife owners by providing that state law prevails when someone is traveling in a private vehicle or other private means of transportation. However, if you are not traveling in a private vehicle, local laws may apply.

PocKit – Improving Your Preparedness Using One Tool for EDC

August 9th, 2017

Everyday, the average American phone user needs two charges for their phones. Yet only 4% of people carry a power bank. For the other 96%, the power bank is not worth the space it takes up.

Consider something else that is good to carry: the flashlight. Flashlights can be useful for providing illumination if the lights go out, alerting oncoming traffic during nighttime, and as a striking surface for breaking car windows in an emergency. Yet, most people only keep one in the drawer at home.

The folks at Matricon Innovations have built a tool combining the two. At roughly the size of 2 smartphones stacked together, the PocKit offers a power bank as well as a flashlight. It also includes a proximity tracker to protect both your belongings and your smartphone. Place the PocKit in you bag, and carry the smartphone on your person. Both will sound an alarm if they get separated.

These functions combine to make the PocKit a useful and versatile tool for everyday carry. They will be launching a Kickstarter campaign on August the 17th. Until then, you can check out their site and sign up for the pre-Kickstarter bonus.

Magpul DAKA Everyday Wallet

August 9th, 2017

The Magpul DAKA Everyday Wallet is their latest addition to their wallet line. I’ve been using a DAKA wallet since last year and it has really helped me cut down on my wallet clutter.

They added a matte translucent, thermoplastic polyurethane window to keep you from having to dig out your library card all of the time. They say it won’t rip or streak.

I am very happy to see Magpul added a center pocket to add more room for currency. Simply fold your bills in half and they tuck neatly away inside the resized center compartment.

Features:
· Windowed ID pocket
· Center divider pocket for bills and notes
· 10% larger than our Essential Wallet and holds 3-7 cards comfortably
· Reinforced polymer fabric with anti-slip texture
· Welded construction creates permanent impenetrable seals
· Chemical resistant / Non-hygroscopic
· Made in the USA

Now, I just wish they’d add a compartment for my coin.
