NPR's latest --
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5014036
It's a report on the parking lot gun laws proposed in Florida and others. Nothing severely surprising for NPR -- but what caught my attention, is the organization they quote.
They have a few quotes from an employee of risk control strategies.com (president, actually) Paul Viollis.
Now, glancing through some things on their site, I have a hard time believing this is a legitimate. If you check their list of press releases, *all* of them are about workplace violence -- none about the other things that they claim to provide.
Additionally, mail for the domain goes to:
mail.riskcontrolstrategies.com. 28800 IN A 64.80.146.71
Which is not listening for mail at the moment, at least.
There is an 866 number at the bottom of the page, which I haven't tried, as well.
The whois info for the domain goes through a whois privacy service, so I don't think there is much that can be gotten from there.
Doing a simple search on the name, it hardly comes up with anything. My first thought was that it may be related to Brady, VPC, or someone similar. I've not been able to find anything to indicate that, though. I may be missing a few organizations like that, or similar things.
I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this 'company' before, and if anyone has any other ideas on who might be running it. What other orgs can anyone think of?
My first thought is that the webserver (www) or mailserver (mail.riskcontrolstrategies.com) would share an IP with one of the suspect groups. I've not been able to find anything like that yet, though.
Any thoughts? Maybe I've just got the tinfoil hat on too tight?
