    Well it looks like we won. I guess I'll still buy their stuff after all!
    Cut and paste of an e-mail response to the suggestion readers contact Troy.



    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.
    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 just called and got the song and dance about being a separate division in training only. We continued the conversation until she assured me that J-Fled will not be affiliated even with the Training Division - WE shall see. :rolleyes:

    Consultant.

    Former Chicago Super (Police Chief). J-Fled is the lube for a lot of doors to open.

    Consultant, fancy word for one who will use his sleazy Chicago political connections to facilitate sales of Troy Products and or Training. That still rubs me the wrong way. :noway:

    So the people on this website won't support or endorse Mr Weis, but they will Yeager?

    Yeager actually supports the 2nd and has done a lot for it by teaching people to fight with their guns which is what the 2nd it really all about.

    But if I remember correctly, hasn't he been accused of turning and running in a firefight?

    IMO, Yeager is a nutcase who does more to hurt the 2nd amendment than help, Yeager is the Piers Morgan of gun rights, Rarely do people take either seriously.

    Have you never done anything you were ashamed of?

    People make mistakes, time marches on. Some mistakes are worse than others.


    Sure, always have, always will...I'm not trashing anyone, I'm just trying to figure how the members here have chosen to support one and not the other when it sounds like they may have both been in the same situation?

    Ah, you're wondering why there is hypocrisy... There is no good answer beyond simple human nature.

    How many firefights have you been in... Must be ALOT since you seem to know EXACTLY how you would react.

    You know nothing about me, but if you'd open your F'n eyes, you'd see that I posted that I wasn't trashing, just wondering why the support for one and not the other....but maybe you're not smart enough to read and comprehend the prior.

    Apples & Oranges, this Thread is about J-Fled being hired by Troy Industries. Somehow, James Yeager was added to the mix even though he wasn't hired by Troy Industries or ever employed there. My distaste for J-Fled is not necessarily in the Fleeing BUT his actions under color of law, while in Chicago, stomping on 2nd Amendment Rights as part of the Democrat Machine Power Structure. :patriot: I'm Not a Yeager Fan Boy but this has nothing to do with Yeager

    Earlier today we announced that Jody Weis will not be joining the Troy Asymmetric cadre of instructors.

    Mr. Weis has no affiliation with Troy Asymmetric or any of its affiliated companies. It was the intention of Troy Asymmetric to retain him as a contract employee for government-specific programs. Troy Industries had no knowledge of Mr. Weis’ political leanings or stance on the Second Amendment as we are not involved in Chicago politics.

    Troy has consistently put its money where its mouth is demonstrating a firm belief of the individual’s right to bear arms. Troy has turned away tens of millions of dollars in business from a sporting goods retailer who did not support our individual rights following the Newtown tragedy. Troy is the only firearms manufacturer to take this ethical stance on the Second Amendment.

    Our immediate actions today re-affirm our commitment to the fundamental individual right to bear arms.

    They also employ Dale Monroe. He was ready and willing to shoot Mrs. Weaver while holding her baby. Having him as an employee or consultant is even worse than J Fled...........

    I dont know about anyone else posting in this thread, but the reason i am not happy with troy industries hiring Jody weis is because he is anti gun and he supports gun control, i don't care that he ran when he heard gun shots and headed to PD HQ .
