Here is SurvivalBlog’s News From The American Redoubt. This weekly column features news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. We also mention companies of interest to preppers that are located in the region. The emphasis this week is on Gemini Technologies–the makers of Gemtech supressors.
Idaho (Gemtech)
First off, the announcement of S&Ws buy-out of Gemini Technologies was made in July. They are best known for their great Gemtech suppressors. Since then, the transition has reportedly gone smoothly. The employees will also continue to work in Idaho. They will be in a new building in the small town of Meridian. S&W was thrilled to gain Doc Dater’s very clever patents. And of course they’re also inheriting the company’s very loyal customer base. They have no plans to move Gemini’s operations. This acquisition leave S&W well-positioned. Why? What if the Hearing Protection Acts gets through Congress. Yee-haw!
