German firearms manufacturer Heckler & Koch recently let it be known that they would no longer sell their firearms in some of the worlds more questionable corners. As the UK’s Guardian reported . . .
The company has pledged no longer to sell arms into warzones or to countries that violate corruption and democracy standards, including Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, or any African countries.
Though never officially announced, the new strategy was included in Heckler & Koch’s latest yearly financial report, and confirmed at an annual general meeting in August. A spokesman said that the firm had “withdrawn from the crisis regions of this world”.
So imagine Israel’s surprise to learn that the Middle East’s only democracy had made it onto HK list of verboten nations.
Known as Germany’s deadliest weapons manufacturer, Heckler & Koch will no longer being selling guns to war zones or countries that are corrupt, including Israel, according to the company’s most recent report.
Founded in 1949 Heckler & Koch, a major producer of handguns, military rifles and sub-machine guns, quietly adopted a new policy to make it difficult to obtain export permits from the German government when dealing with a number of countries around the globe.
Countries in the company’s current ban include: Israel, Mexico, Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia or any African countries.
With annual arms exports of over $8 billion, Germany exports a lot of firepower. And HK makes just about everything from handguns to grenade launchers. According to a “study” touted by the country’s Green Party and Social Democrats designed to shame arms exporters, HK’s products have contributed to the deaths of two million people…at least one of whom included Osama Bin Laden. So Bin Laden stands as the typical bad guy put down by H&K products, more is definitely better, right?
But the decision to end sales to the Jewish state effectively lumps Israel in with the globe’s most corrupt regimes and kleptocracies. Surely politics didn’t play a role in the company’s decision.
Israel won’t be hurting for firepower. The country has its own thriving arms industry — they exported $6.5 billion worth in 2016 — in addition to their ability to import weapons from the United States, among others. But the decision will leave them without the ability to take advantage of HK’s famous “No Compromise” reputation for accuracy and reliability.
Somehow we think Israel will learn to adapt.
Weird that a maker of firearms seems to be against self defense.
Suddenly my not being able to afford HK products seems virtuous.
Germans don’t like Jews. Been that way for a long time, surprised it took the Germans this long to show their ass. I hope IWI knocks off every H&K design and starts selling them.
Good to see HK isn’t selling to some of those nations, but Israel? Really? German arms maker won’t export to a Jewish nation? Where’s the ADL on this?
I’ve never cared for any gun HK makes and I won’t be rushing out to buy there pistols anytime soon.
Dang, north country cowboying is about as hard of work as it gets. He’s a tougher man than I’ll ever be. I’m sorry for your loss, but thankful that you shared your memories of him with us. That was great writing and I look forward to more of it.
Israel can still buy better for less $$$$$
Win all around
Israel can still make as-good for less. I think the keep the good sh_t for themselves, got some IWI mags (4) and none of them worked.
Vermont has had Constitutional carry since 1791,such as the founders intended,it just works.
H&K: “Because you suck and we hate Jew”.
Israeli interests have controlled US foreign policy for decades. Major part of the reason the Mideast is the mess it is today.
Feel free to name one time that the Middle East actually was peaceful. Or not at war, or major conflict. Even the Ottoman empire, arguably the one time that there was peace in recorded history, was kept mostly peaceful with an iron fist, and STILL had plenty of internal fighting. Don’t go blaming Israel for a problem that has been going on since mankind learned a rock could kill someone.
Name another time in history the ME was the total shit show it is today.
“Name another time in history the ME was the total shit show it is today.”
Its been that way since the time of sumer and abraham living in UR……..assyrians conquering akkadians and sumerians, babylonians conquering assyrians, persians conquering babylonians, greeks conquering persians, parthians conquering greeks, persians conquer parthians, arabs conquer persians, mongols conquer arabs, turks conquer arabs, british conquer arabs….
Firstly, appears others answered for me, secondly, you are a terrible debater. You answer a question with a question, which essentially indicates you don’t have a legit answer, so you’re trying to change the subject or direction of debate. Go back to speech class, you have failed your teacher.
The region is rich with history, no doubt, but I stand by my original statement that Israels control over US policy has brought devastation to the region. Does anyone disagree Israel controls US foreign policy?
Company founded by former NSDAP members that got its start by continuing weapons development projects begun under Hitler’s government won’t sell arms to the world’s only Jewish state; this is my most shocked expression. Funny, but of all the surplus weapons that I have ever seen come out of Israel, and of the various Israeli soldiers, saliors, and police officers I have met have ever mentioned using any HK products, although at least one praised the AK over his AK-derived Galil, which I thought was interesting.
I’m pretty sure that the US also utilized former Nazis to continue weapons development projects started under Hitler…
Our space program was based on the V2 rocket and we even hired Nazi “rocket men” to build rockets for us. Wernher Von Braun head of the Nazi rocket program helped send the US into the space age.
“I’m pretty sure that the US also utilized former Nazis to continue weapons development projects started under Hitler…”
Yeah, like rocketry for starters.
Google “Operation Paperclip” sometime.
And Germany has no problem selling Israel arguably the best in class Dolphin AIP (Air Independent Propulsion) submarine.
Not as known is the US Navy is extending the lease they signed for a Scandinavian-built AIP super-stealthy ultra-quiet sub of their own. The Navy seems to be very impressed, so far…
This might set back German/Jewish relations a bit.
Oh, wait. . .
I will bless them that bless you and CURSE them that curse you. Signed GOD. How Nazi of you HK…
“or any African countries”
Someone doesn’t like die Schwarzen much, huh?
Is it just me or does anyone else think that all of these super duper explody grappling hook etc rounds for shotguns are gimmiky as all hell? I mean, pretty much anything moderately dense the size of a large marble traveling at 1300 fps is going F people up. Certainly cause a water bottle to explode.
If they didn’t like “die schwarzen” you would think they would be providing their products at cut rates to African countries in order to promote the carnage in those truly corrupt nations.
betting on them selling through back channels anyways. They didn’t do it, their dealers did.
Same way we supply the Mexican drug cartels, through back channels like the Mexican military.
from time to time i rewatch “hold an ak.”

I’ll watch just about anybody’s channel, as long as they can clearly show me how to disassemble/reassemble the gun I’m currently working on. Gun channels on YouTube have helped me with all sorts of sticky wickets.
I miss CarnikCon.
You know who else wouldn’t let Germans sell guns to Jews?
“You know who else wouldn’t let Germans sell guns to Jews?”
I just know I’m gonna regret it, but I’ll bite.
Who?
(Go easy on this fish’s jaw with that sharp hook you’re about to set, please?)
is “Hitch”cock 45 some sort of inside joke or are you people really not able to properly read and spell his name (stereotypical gun owner?)?
I definitely will not be purchasing and HK firearm after this……….
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haym_Salomon
I recalled this from when history was actually taught in public schools.
I don’t own any HK products. Nor will I ever. I have always believed Germany is our one true enemy and will always be our enemy. They have never done anything to change my mind on that. Never trust a Kraut. They have one goal, to control Europe. They tried twice militarily and failed. Now they are using politics and the EU to control Europe.
Some interesting history about Germany, they have and always will be anti-enlightenment, anti-individual rights. While France, Britain and America were all having their revolutions, embracing natural rights granted by our creator, German philosophers sprung up to reject the notion of natural rights. Ever since their population has believed in an all powerful state who grants rights and therefore can take them away. This thinking led to two world wars instigated by them and is the reason today they still exhibit anti-western tendencies and are inflicting great harm on the European continent. They couldn’t destroy Europe and the west outwardly, so Merkal and her ilk seek to do it inwardly by bringing in foreign invaders who are basically modern day Nazi’s. After all, Germany sided with the muslims and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in both world wars in their conquest so destroy the Jews.
So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that HK, a German company put Israel on their list. Whether they know it or not, they are cut from this same anti-enlightenment clothe.
This history is also why you see so much of this anti-enlightenment and rejection of reason in the rest of the west. At the time American universities didn’t give out PHD’s. A great many “intellectuals” went to Germany to get their PHD’s only to return to the US and fundamentally restructure our Universities after the German model. They brought those bad ideas with them. So in away the American left, who’s anti-American zeal and rejection of natural rights has been nurtured in the Universities, are basically modern day Nazi’s.
What’s with some of the comments on here that are basically tying all of this to Nazism and Germans hate Jews? Sounds like a rather progtard route to take. Could it possibly be due to political factors back home, that have nothing to do with any of that? HK won’t sell arms to Israel…”Derp, causa raciss and Nazis.” Leave that shite to the libs.
Actually the “progtard” position is to support this move.
That’s correct progressives don’t like Israel for the most part. This move is political, pushed by Israel hating progressives, but fits with historic German behavior.
Not that Israel needs it. They have plenty of arms manufacturer’s themselves, and IMO, their arms are superior to the german plastic ones. Further….
THIS IS GREAT NEWS.
This only means more potential business for US firearm manufacturers.
so much assumptive ignorance in these comments.
Take a look. It’s pretty enlightening.

The gist of the interview with the Mayor of Milwaukee is really the city wants more of the citizen’s money, oh, and we’re good with taking peoples guns.
When I go to the range, I meet all kinds of people. They’re all different, and yet they’re all like me.
Except the range safety officers. They all suck.
I have never thought about “categories” of people at gun ranges. That fact that I rarely go to a gun range is probably part of the reason. (I rarely go to gun ranges because I prefer to hone my marksmanship skills at secluded locations where I can shoot or take a break at my own pace.)
For what it is worth, all of my shooting seems to be utilitarian: verifying reliable operation of the firearm, sighting in, verifying the consistency (or lack thereof) of an ammunition and firearm combination, and determining how accurate I am.
One of these days, it might be nice to just go shooting for fun.
um, While I can applaud their altruism, I gotta wonder about their common sense!
Guns are used for plinking (mostly), Range Practice by LEO’s & military (A whole lot), and war (some)
War does not tend to take place at the Canadian/American border.
War tends to take place in fairly unfriendly locations, like: “Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, or any African countries”
The old master. Usually some dude (occasional gal) that looks old enough to be collecting Social Security, walks in using a cane or walking stick, sets down one of two soft cases, cracks out some really old rifle like an M1 Garand or K98, and proceeds to shoot one hole groups at 100 meters with oversized spectacles. I’d sell some of my organs to maintain that kinda accuracy with iron sights and with terrible eyesight.
I only go to public ranges during winter months, however I see one type that stands out. ‘The social media blogger picture takers.’ Usually a female pack of 4 or more, sometimes a guy pack though, whose sole purpose is to pose with the firearms they just rented, class III included.
Wish they would concentrate on training, practice, and shooting correctly as sometimes I’ve seen some questionable weapon handling.

There is a preponderance of scholarly opinion that “the” right to bear arms is the right to do so “openly”. We are well aware that this interpretation is a judicial determination rather than one founded in a textual analysis. It would be hard to say what the founding generation might have thought about a “gentlemen” concealing a flintlock pistol of the 18th Century within his coat.
Arguably, after the invention of the percussion cap, one MIGHT have made something of the distinction between going armed discretely – in an unmanly way – vs. openly. Even so, CC vs. OC is at most an INCIDENTAL issue. What is “core” is the right of self-defense; and, the reasonableness of the act of “drawing” through whatever follows that act.
At the dawn of the 21’st Century we are in an altogether new era as contrasted with those of the 18’th or 19’th. Today, the distinction between CC vs OC is essentially a “fashion statement”. I prefer to carry my gun discretely so that I will not be scorned in my neighborhood as “that guy” who fancies himself as a gun-slinger. My constable neighbor carries his gun openly so that he will be recognized as “that guy” who means to keep the peace.
Today, a dozen States make no distinction between CC vs. OC. The remainder mostly require a “permit” to CC; and, the majority of these are relatively perfunctory “prohibited-person” checks with/without a modest training mandate. A few States impose a permit and training requirement to OC.
When SCOTUS finally gets around to dealing with the right to carry it will find itself confronting the contemporary nation’s view of CC vs. OC; a view radically different from that of the early-to-mid 19th Century. Instead of imputing “unmanly” intentions, SCOTUS will be compelled to rule on women’s fashion preferences. What are SCOTUS’s alternatives?
1 – no right to carry, neither openly nor concealed?
2 – a right to carry openly without license, no right to carry concealed with license?
3 – a right to carry with license, whether concealed or openly?
4 – a right to carry without license, either concealed or openly?
Discrimination between CC vs OC under #2 is hard to justify other than as a fashion statement. Even SCOTUS would hesitate to impute “unmanly” intentions on a growing body of women carriers. (Focus on THIS scenario; do you see how absolutely ABSURD it appears? Which justice would willingly write such an opinion?)
#1 would be tough to justify. Just when, and how, did the “right” to “bear” arms disappear?
#4 would be too much to hope for. SCOTUS isn’t ready to strip that much power from State legislators. (I’m not saying whether they should / shouldn’t; just that they wouldn’t).
This analysis leads to #3 as the most probable. I.e., that the CC vs. OC distinction is apt to recede in significance; likely, to become insignificant. SCOTUS will be compelled to acknowledge that there IS – some sort of – right to carry outside the home. I can’t see SCOTUS determining that VT must legislate to license carriers; therefore, the 12 States that have no license requirement will be left alone. What, then, will be left in a ruling? DC, NYC, CA, HI etc. will probably be told that they may license carry but that such license must not be withheld unreasonably; i.e., that the right to bear arms is at least a right to Shall-Issue.
“This outcome brought to you by VT’s benign neglect, Con-Carry in 11+ other States, and Shall-Issue in 38+States. (Coincidently, enough States to pass a Constitutional amendment.)”
Mark PA
Not Vermonts benign neglect,in the last thirty yeas the permit for reciprocity has come up 6 times in the legislature.
The thought is no citizen since Vermont has become a state has had need to ask permission from any person,magistrate or potentate to exercise a natural right and each time it dies in the legislature.
The spirt of Ethan and Ira Allen,Seth Morrill and Remember Baker and the Green Mountain Boys are alive and well in most of the state with the exception of Chittenden county.
To further explain the thought process of Vermonters.

I have met all sorts of people at the range, the tacticool, the hunters, recreational shooters(thats me), almost too a person they have all been friendly and i’ve made a few friends.
Only negative i have ever had was some guy that showed up to a range day some friends and i set up. He was a friend of a friend who was a douchebag. Had all this top of the line equipment, but couldnt shoot for shit. I was ahooting next to hime when his rifle jammed, i wasnt paying attention to him cause i was shooting. The next thing i knew i was on the ground after being tackled by a rso, cause he was trying to clear the jam with the mag still in it and had the rifle pointed at my head. Needless to say he was escorted out with an invitation to not come back.
I’ve met all kinds. My favorite had to be the goofball who said how superior his Glock was to my lowly Taurus. And pulled it put of his bunghole. I easily shot better than he did. I haven’t shot outside in 45 years so it’s just indoor ranges. None have what could be called a range officer. I try to go when there isn’t a crowd-much safer????
Sports club private range. 24 hour access. Go in the wee hours to be unbothered by humanity.
The Mansplainer — the dude who’s “coaching” his girlfriend/wife, but basically just talking the whole time and barely letting her shoot. The Mansplainer can also be heard spouting his boundless knowledge of firearms to other men, refusing to desist even if he ends up talking to veterans, armorers, or John Browning. Favorite tidbits include “you can convert an AK to full auto with a 39 cent spring,” “.223 is just as weak as .22 LR,” and “all the guns are now made in China.”
The Deer Hunter — the good ol’ boy who brings his deer rifle and shoots his three rounds to sight in. He looks askance at anyone who brings a tactical rifle. Nope. Someone fires more than four rounds in quick succession, he’s goin’ to wait ’em out in his truck.
Last one: Grandma Oakley — that lady in her 50s who shoots bullseye competitions and embarrasses you in front of your crew.
Belong to a private club. Most of the members are riflemen or trap/skeet shooters. The pistol people like myself tend to be very chummy and gravitate to the guy with the most unusual handguns. I tend to shoot combat exercises and that attracts quite a bit of attention. Between that and inquiries about my Lionheart LH9N, I get to know almost everyone on the range when I’m there. I’ve yet to meet anyone who is not polite and wiling to share advice, jokes and “can I try that pistol”? I’ve yet to have a bad day at the range.
Well we all know how muzzle-loading, single shot rifles are the preferred firearm of all the major gangs and cartels operating in those states, as well as school shooters. They’re such a big part of criminal gun use, that muzzleloaders even appear in gangster movies like Scarface, Resevoir Dogs and Narcos. Muzzle loaders are also racist. Do you have any idea how much acreage was stolen from the Indians, er indigenous Americans by cis-gendered white men, wielding muzzle loaders? Firearms like this have no place in our modern society. Muzzle loaders were also the preferred firearm of the Redcoats used to oppress colonial Americans, including Crispus Attucks (more proof of the inherent racism of the muzzle loader). Every true American should be disgusted at the sight of these silenced muzzle loaders. Thank God there are still people and legislators in place like NJ, MA, and CA that have enough sense to ban these baby-killing, oppressive muzzleloaders found in every lynchmob ever.
And while you’re discussing racism, they use BLACK powder! OMG!
BTW, shouldn’t they be called the tri-axis of evil?
Thanks for sharing the fine memories of your father. Praying for you as you remember him.
Coming for my health care?
Jesus I could write a book on how retarded that is. Maybe this moron should try to run out and buy some ACA compliant insurance tomorrow morning.
He might be shocked to find out that buying ACA compliant insurance, outside the open enrollment dates, is illegal unless you’ve 1) had a kid in the last 90 days, lost a job (through no fault of your own) in the last 90 days, been divorced in the last 90 days or been released from incarceration in the last 90 days.
Other than that, no compliant insurance for you.
What’s that? The exchange screwed up your application and you spent a month and a half on the phone trying to unfuck that situation but got nowhere because the state exchange blamed the national exchange, both exchanges blamed the insurance company and the company was legally barred from helping you in any way until the exchange(s) gave them the right paperwork? Well of course there’s a waiver for that right? HA!
Of course you can buy direct from the company without the exchanges getting in the way, right? HA!
The ACA is a complete disaster and anyone defending it is a moron or totally ignorant of how it actually works IRL.
One of the first 1911s I ever fired, maybe the first, was an absolute unicorn. A 5″ Ed Brown Custom Kobra chambered in .357Sig. It belonged to the Governor of Texas, and it was the gun that got me hooked on the 1911. Hell of a gun.
A right is the ability to buy a gun if you want, or to say whatever you want and the govt does nothing about it.
The govt forcing you to buy a shitty product or they will send a armed swat team to take your money for said shitty product is, well, it’s not a right, that’s for sure. Actually i think about it more like a robbery or racketeering or hard selling at least.
Mostly tourists and Massholes wanting to mag dump AR’s or Glocks cuz john Wick, the RSO’s are generally good but there was one off duty with what had to be his 12 year old son and on the indoor range which is pretty much stand and shoot /no holster draw, doing draw from holster, spin back to front to face the target and I was just like W_T_F, and looked at him so hard he left pretty quick. Don’t see him working there any more, too bad, bet he was a real operator..
Rest of the RSO’s and guests/members are pretty chill and professional, courteous and knowledgeable in safety.

Every time I see someone make a statement like yours followed by the word But,I know that person doesn’t truly understand the Second amendment,good try.
So easy, the store should assume full liability for requiring their employees to be defenseless.
They will NEVER do that, so it will solve these legal catch-22’s that employees find themselves in.
Any location that forces a citizen to disarm, should be forced to bear the consequences of that decision. This includes, courthouses, post offices, etc.
Just sent Circle jerk K corporate an email expressing my displeasure at the firing of this young lady. As well to inform them I will never be a customer again. I ask that everyone do likewise Pass this article on to everyone you know so they can boycott all Circle K’s nationwide.
I met Antonia Okafor at a range. 🙂 Not going to dox her by saying which one, but I can confirm she is a vivacious and gorgeous in person as she appears in media. https://antoniaokafor.com
Use to talk to the Circle K clerk at the store up the street from me some years back and expressed some concern about the fact that they left her alone on the night shift. She smiled and pulled up her shirt enough to show her gun and said “Well, I do have my little friend.” She moved on after she finished school, and the place got bought out a couple of years back. It would suck to loose your job, but that obviously beats getting kidnapped or murdered.
I always thought those vest things they make them wear would do a good job covering up a gun.
Because a cop is too heavy.
Over the last 40 years or so I have owned, handled, fired, broken, fixed and lusted after dozens if not hundreds of handguns. My favorite pistol remains the 1911 in .45 ACP.
My inspiration was such men as Libourel, Seyfreid, Clark, Pachmayr, Wilson, Fowler and Cooper. More recently, Brown, Harrison, Yost, Baer and others have refined this timeless platform, producing works of industrial art.
I will admit they are not for everybody- some will prefer a glock.
Sometimes I think about how nice it would be to carry and train with one of these little Ferrari class numbers on a day-to-day bassis. Then I think about using the pistol for what it’s actually meant for. I think about placing it on the ground, and having police lock it away for (non)god knows how long as “evidence.” Yeah…. nope. A Performance Center Shield will do me right with a lot less heart-ache knowing I gave the state a $2.75k – $3.5k gift just for defending myself.
That being the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I feel the cashier had every right to defend herself.
CIRCLE K WAS WRONG PUTTING HER ON SUSPENSION SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN HER A RAISE,BONUS & PROMOITION!!
SO WHEN THEY WHERE ROB AT GUN POINT THE NEXT WEEK THEY DESERVED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY TOLD THE WORLD COME ON IN YOU CAN RON. US CAUSE WE WON’T DO A THING ABOUT IT!!
GIVE TH AT GIRL HER JOB BACK WITH NO LOST WAGES AND A NICE BONUS
Violence is not about gun laws.
Mobs of people were extirpating other groups long before guns were even contemplated. In fact, even in the relatively recent Rwandan genocide in most of the genocide was purportedly committed with machetes.
Guns just make it easier for bad people to do bad things, and make it easier for good people to defend themselves.
The worst combination is a regulatory scheme which prevents the law abiding from obtaining or bearing guns and yet poses no real barrier to bad people obtaining guns….such as every big US democrat-controlled city and the many places with much stricter gun laws that America have much higher murder rates: Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Jamaica and many others.
If he started repealing pre-Obama gun regulation, then yes, he would be a champion. Simply moving the slider (slowly) back to the early Obama years is really just status-quo.
At least he only used legally acquired weapons and silencers. Imagine if he had used an untraceable ghost gun AR47 assault rifle, an x- ray defeating, 3d printed Sig glock pistol, sawed off shotgun, black talon “cop killer” bullets, maybe an armor piercing fn five seven “desert eagle”, all with oil filter silencers? His victims would be so dangerously deader and permanently critically injured. Mark my words, we can’t allow people access to such fierce weapons of war.
Sweet just ordered my Maxim50! Oh wait shit!!! Illegal in Britain.
Just a guess but I’ll bet they weren’t selling many guns there anyway… I had a Jewish girlfriend that hated all things made in Germany, including my H&K and my BMW. lol
lol !!! Someone is eating stupid sandwiches and expecting everyone to join in.
JFK was unavailable for comment.
If you don’t want to talk about your gender and being a parent don’t bring it up like it gives you the right to tell me whether to have guns. They wave it in your face then when you say “so what” you’re a bully.
I actually have a printed and laminated car in my car and my truck with anti-gun businesses. Not one of them has had a nickel from me since they were added to the list. I wouldn’t frequent a business that refuses service to a minority either (When was this even last an issue?). I run extensions in my browser that blocks tracking and ad revenue for ad networks. I don’t use google. I limit my footprint as much as I am aware of an entities gun stance.
You raised a false moral equivalency as some sort of way to minimize what you did with your principles. Just reapply that principle and move on.
Because I thought polygonal rifling and hardcast bullets were a bad mix, I didn’t buy a Glock 20 or 40. Instead, I bought a Glock 21 and installed a .40 Magnum conversion barrel, also a stiffer Wolff recoil spring. Then I learned that I had been misled by a misunderstanding and a myth
https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=59
Oh well, a G21 was easier to find than a G20. They’re lying about in every pawn shop, fairly cheap especially if they show a lot of mileage, which means (for purposes of price negotiation) the barrel is shot out and the recoil spring is tired.
I love my HK USP, and now, even more so. An arms company that has morals, imagine that.
