Troy Industries sparked a substantial controversy by hiring Dale Monroe, the partner of former FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi. Horiuchi is infamous for having shot and killed an unarmed Vicki Weaver who was holding a baby at the Ruby Ridge standoff in 1992. Monroe has testified that had Horiuchi not shot Weaver, he would have done so instead. Although Monroe and Horiuchi were never prosecuted, Randy Weaver was compensated in a civil settlement for the wrongful death of his wife
