BOISE BLACK RIFLE LLC

Boise Black Rifle LLC is a privately held firearms retailer headquartered in Meridian, Idaho. A 2022 press release stated the first of its three locations was opened in 2007 by owner Rob Adams. The company operates as a "pro shop" for firearms and related accessories. Its physical and online stores sell a variety of firearms, including pistols, shotguns, and rifles, with a particular specialization in the AR-15 platform. The company also offers AR components, high-end optics, suppressors, and accessories from various manufacturers. Additionally, Boise Black Rifle sells its own branded line of AR firearms.

The company is an operating retailer that has been named as a defendant in patent litigation. The available data shows one tracked case where Boise Black Rifle LLC is a defendant and none where it is a plaintiff. This posture is consistent with a retailer being targeted for selling products alleged to infringe patents held by another company. The single tracked case was filed in the Idaho District Court, the company's home jurisdiction.

The case, RARE BREED TRIGGERS, INC. et al. v. BOISE BLACK RIFLE LLC, places the company in the context of a broader, aggressive patent enforcement campaign by Rare Breed Triggers. Rare Breed manufactures and holds patents on "forced reset triggers" (FRTs), which allow for rapid firing of semi-automatic rifles. Since settling litigation with the U.S. Department of Justice in May 2025 regarding the legality of its devices, Rare Breed and its associated intellectual property holding company have filed numerous patent infringement lawsuits against competitors and retailers across the firearms industry. These suits typically allege that the sale of competing FRT products infringes on Rare Breed's patents. The lawsuit against Boise Black Rifle is part of this widespread litigation effort targeting retailers.
