We were first introduced to Victory Scents by it’s creator, Gina of Combat Bet, during SHOT Show this year. We’ve worked with her previously on the ITS SHOT Show Poker Chips we’ve handed out the last two years at the show and can’t say enough good things about her, which is why we’re expect nothing less from her new venture with Victory Scents.
How can you not love a morale boosting, politically incorrect twist on air fresheners? We’ve got them up all over ITS HQ, including up at the top of our rope climbs in the warehouse. You’ve got to have something to tag when you get to the top right?
These are coming very soon and are made in the USA too boot! Be on the lookout for news on when they’ll drop on the Victory Scents Facebook Page!
We don’t follow the political game much here on ITS, but I feel that the Senate bill, S.2188, is an important one to many of our readers like it is to me.
Essentially, the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2012 is the Senate companion to H.R. 822, which was introduced to the U.S. House last November and passed by a vote of 272-154. There’s been some healthy debate on the merits of such an act, which would allow anyone with a valid state-issued concealed firearm permit to carry concealed in any state that issues a concealed firearm permit, or that doesn’t prohibit carrying concealed for lawful purposes.
Much like a driver’s license from one state is valid in another, the Right-to-Carry reciprocity would allow traveling concealed-carry permit holders the same rights to self defense as they have in their home state. [Read More…]
After months of planning, we’re excited to finally release details on our inaugural ITS Tactical Muster and skill-set development excursion.
The Muster integrates all the common skill-sets we advocate here on ITS into one long weekend packed full of instruction on Lock Picking, Knot Tying, Rappelling, Fire & Shelter Building, Camp Gadgets & Stoves, Medical (including TCCC principles), Navigation and Geocaching. All this while spending the evenings enjoying great camradarie and sleeping under the stars.
Bringing our community together, the Muster will be your chance to spend a few days with the crew from ITS Tactical, get hands-on and learn together. The Muster attendance will be limited to 50 people and available to our Life Members, Plank Owners and Crew Leaders only.
While the Muster won’t be a physically demanding event, you’ll be hiking and climbing so your level of fitness should allow for this. You’re going to get dirty, you’re going to be tired, but you’ll leave with more knowledge than you came with, great memories and friendships forged. [Read More…]
Today, I’d like to offer my thoughts and perspective on the recently released Act of Valor movie. I’m not a movie critic, or even someone who’s got any operational experience outside of BUD/s (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL Training) and what I was taught there. What I do offer with my write-up is the perspective of someone who has been through and overcome adversity side-by-side with members of the Naval Special Warfare community I’m proud to call my friends.
Words will never fittingly describe, nor do justice to the adversity that each one of these guys encountered in training and faces every day of their lives. What I mean by this is the continuous training, workup and deployment cycle they go through and all they sacrifice on a daily basis that most will never understand.

Another thing we’re proud to announce is that all our Men’s T-Shirts are now printed on American Apparel 100% Fine Jersey Cotton T’s. These are made in the USA and of course also printed in the USA as all our T’s were. We’ve also added sizing charts to our store supporting documentation so that you can ensure you’re ordering the right fit for you.
Here’s some nice hi-res images of all our new products, let us know what you think and thanks for your continued support! [Read More…]
Our good friends at Silencerco have recently announced the 1st Annual Silencers Are Legal Shoot, an inexpensive way to try out suppressors from all the big name companies in the industry. ITS Tactical is a sponsor for this awesome event and you’ll also get to visit us in the vendor tent where we’ll have our complete product line for sale, including a custom patch we’re making just for the show you won’t be able to get anywhere else!
Come support the industry and invite your friends to learn about suppressors including: uses, benefits, and how to purchase them. The event is taking place in our backyard at Elm Fork Shooting range here in Dallas, Texas. It’s a great facility and you can’t beat $12 to shoot everyone’s suppressors! What’s even better is that there will be ammo vendors on site too, like HPR, making sure your guns are well fed. Vendor tents will be located right on the firing line for easy access to test the most current products on the market.
The silenced fun happens from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday April 28th. In addition to the awesome vendors like us, there’s also raffles going on and you’ll have a chance to win a few things we’ll be donating too! An odd addition to mention is that all live fire has to be suppressed, no unsuppressed shooting is allowed!
First off we’d like to thank Julie Golob for donating an autographed copy of her book SHOOT: Your guide to Shooting and Competition for us to giveaway to a lucky reader here on ITS Tactical.
We’ve totaled up all the entries from our review post a few days ago and have come up with the big winner! As always, we use random.org to be fair and choose the winners from our giveaways and contests.
Congratulations to Bill Robertson! An email should already be on its way to you with instructions on how to claim your book, but if you don’t receive it please contact us.
Even if you didn’t win, I’d like to encourage everyone to check out Julie’s book. It’s a tremendous resource that can not only help new shooters become more educated and better prepared, but also help shooting sports enthusiasts confidently take the next step into competition.
Produced exclusively for ITS by Zulu Nylon Gear, the Gen 2 Holster Insert and Shock Cord Insert are now in stock and ready to ship. The video and following article talk about the upgraded the Holster Insert and development of the Shock Cord Insert.
We had a fantastic turnout at our ITS organized BUYcott event at Starbucks this morning! It was great to see so many people come out to support the 2nd Amendment and have a cup of coffee with us. Our peaceful hang out even had the Hurst Police Department come by to see how things were going.
When we first showed up at Starbucks this morning (with our Guns and Coffee Patches on of course), they weren’t all that receptive to our presence as you’ll see in the video below. They marked all of our $2 bills to see if they were counterfeit and wouldn’t accept the majority of them. As you can also see in our photos, our bills were perfectly legit, even verified as such by the officers that showed up.
It’s tough to support a company that seems to not want to be supported, at least at the Starbucks on Pipeline and 820 in Ft. Worth, TX. As mentioned, the Police showed up with a report that we were “demonstrating” outside, when all of the roughly 20 of us were doing is standing around talking and drinking coffee.
The officer also laughed when we showed him the $2 bills the improperly trained Starbucks employees had marked up. They tried to say that the ink smears on fake $2 bills, as it was on our “newly printed” $2 bills. Despite me trying to say that it’s smearing because it’s new ink and that it turns black when a counterfeit detector pen is used to mark on it. Starbucks obviously needs to train these employees better at this location.
It was great to have the support of the local Police and they all enjoyed the ITS patches and stickers we handed them; the first officer that walked up gave us a triumphant fist in the air and a “I’m with you guys.”
Thanks to everyone that showed up to support the BUYcott, including the guys from Chosen Tactical and Lone Star Medics. Even if the employees didn’t seem to want the support, they’ll at least remember why we were there. I’m continuously humbled by all the awesome people who have helped ITS grow into all that it is and I can’t wait for the next meet up (that may be misinterpreted as a demonstration!)
