T L MidwayUSA Aids School Gunsmithing Program arry and Brenda Potterfield of MidwayUSA recently donated more than $30,000 to Montgomery Community College in Troy, N.C. The money will be used to purchase handguns, rifles and shotguns for the school’s gunsmithing program. According to Wayne Bernauer, head of Montgomery’s gunsmithing program, participating students currently must provide their own firearms as learning tools. Bernauer said this results in a disparate and limited collection of firearms, creating instruction challenges. “On behalf of our faculty and staff, we are tremendously grateful for this gift from the Potterfields,” Bernauer said. “Gunsmithing programs at schools like Montgomery are critical to training the next generation of gunsmiths,” said Larry Potterfield, MidwayUSA president and CEO.

New Cost-Sharing Legal Program Launched For Dealers he Chiafullo Group LLP, a law firm based in New Jersey, is offering dealers a new legal service called FFLGuard. The service provides legal assistance to independent gun retailers in the event of an ATF compliance investigation or civil litigation. AcuSport offered dealers a first look at the new service at their Dealer Show in January. “Our endorsement of FFLGuard supports long-term sustainability of these retailers’ businesses by providing a first line of legal defense against the one thing that can shut them down faster than anything else — the loss of their Federal Firearms License,” said Kenan Ikels, director of marketing for AcuSport. “Each year, the BATF conducts more than 7,000 FFL inspections for compliance,” said Chris Chiafullo, principal of the Chiafullo Group. “Furthermore, politically motivated lawsuits are not uncommon, as best evidenced by (NYC) Mayor Bloomberg’s ongoing strategy to bankrupt FFL dealers by lawsuit.” FFLGuard is a cost-sharing legal defense program, available only to firearms dealers with FFLs who retain the group. Features of FFLGuard include the BATF Audit Response Unit, Civil Litigation Defense Unit and the Legal Help Desk. For more information, visit www.FFLGuard.com or call 1-888-FFL-GRD1.
