Military Contractor
Trijicon is a major U.S. military contractor supplying the RX01 reflex sights and the Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG) sights. They supply their Night Sights, Reflex, ACOG, AccuPoint and TriPower products not only the military, but also to law enforcement and civilian markets.[1]
Trijicon Supports the Bible
ABC News reported that Trijicon had been placing Bible verses numbers on the side of the ACOG sights sold to the United States Armed Forces.[2] After atheist activist organizations heard about the practice, they attacked Trijicon in the court of public opinion and via legal challenges to the company that forced Trijicon to stop the practice and provide clients with free kits to remove the Bible verse numbers from their existing scopes.[3]
