Troy incurs ire by hiring anti gun former Chicago PD Chief and Lon Horiuchi's partner

[Glocktogo]

I can understand how hiring Weis was an eff'd up move and angered both Troy customers and people in general. Fortunately they canned him quickly after so that's good. Here's what I don't understand though, and please forgive my lack of complete knowledge of this subject, I've read quite a bit about it and have watched a couple different shows about it but I'm no expert by any means, but from what I have read I thought former agent Monroe initially called the shot his partner made a justified shot but later changed his position?

He initially supported his partners action based on the instructions they were given by their superiors and testified to such at the hearings following the tragedy. I thought Dale Monroe later went on to denounce what happened at Ruby Ridge? In my opinion if Dale Monroe still maintains that what happened at RR was justified then the disappointment of Troy is also justified but if Monroe has changed his position and no longer considers what happened "justified", as indicated by Troy, then I have no problem with him being hired by their company.

As for boycotting Troy over Weis, he's gone so that's a moot point. Boycotting Troy over Monroe I suppose is just a case of personal opinion and since Monroe never fired a shot at Ruby Ridge and has been vilified for initially supporting his partners action I have no plans to boycott them myself, however if someone else felt boycotting Troy was deserved then I could understand that choice also. Troy Industries has always, up until now, maintained a very respectable reputation and been a standup supporter of second amendment rights when other major companies used the recent attack on 2A rights to increase profits by raising prices. All things considered, at the moment, I have no plans to boycott them but I do wish they would release a statement by Monroe to clarify his current position on what happened during the Ruby Ridge tragedy because I think the Troy Industries customers deserve to know so they can make their own choices on who to support and who not to.

This has been Troy's contention as well (regarding Monroe). I think it's important to clarify on what grounds Mr. Monroe allegedly disagrees with the operation now, since he didn't at the time. Specifically, whether poor .gov policy at the time led to inappropriate targeting of Mr. Weaver and his family and the subsequent unconstitutional change in ROE, or an ROE change that left agents exposed to unnecessary scrutiny in the face of public outrage.

I've asked for official statements, transcripts or video links on any of these alleged mea culpas by Mr. Monroe so Troy customers can make informed decisions. So far, crickets...

Sounds like Troy has too much respect for authority.

Jody Weis approved glock as an option for Chicago PD. Maybe he can get a job with glock. All chicago top cops are anti gun. never bought anything from troy. Probably never will.
