I use my dad and his group of fishing buddies as a litmus test for what fly fishing gear I recommend. Those dudes are hardcore. They hold weekly fly-tying sessions, own multiple boats, and travel across the West together, fishing some of the most storied trout waters. Heck, one of them spends months living out of a trailer on the ‘Mo. And not a single one of them is part of the fly fishing industry. It’s all for the love of the game. That’s what makes them such good assessors of what gear is worth it, and what isn’t. It’s…
The NRA v. NRA Foundation lawsuit is rather murky. There’s allegations from one side and silence from the other. What’s up with a “Foundation” webpage that was registered last year? There’s no doubt that an ugly battle has been ongoing between the National Rifle Association and its sister organization the NRA Foundation. The NRA claims that the Foundation is not upholding their fiduciary responsibility by withholding funds and are violating trademark law. The Foundation has been mostly silent, but has publicly rebuked the NRA’s claims. The Foundation also asked for the case to be dismissed.…
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned the authorities in California that Iran has planned drone raids. These will be launched from an unidentified vessel off the West Coast, according to an alert reviewed by United States media outlets. Launching a War on Iran Was No Act of Courage Local officials, however, have cast doubt on the warning, saying it is unverified. California Governor Gavin Newsom has downplayed the alert, saying he is “not aware of any imminent threats at this time,” but “we remain prepared for any emergency in our state,” he wrote on X. However, he also said…
I can still remember watching the congressional hearings on “porn rock” that took place in the 1980s thanks to the efforts of Tipper Gore and the Parents Music Resource Center. The warning labels on LPs, cassettes, and CDs that soon appeared in record stores were actually a voluntary response by the recording industry and weren’t mandated by Congress, but in the decades since, censorious politicians across the country have pushed for similar labels on all kinds of products. In Calfiornia, for instance, warnings about more than 900 different chemicals are mandatory in businesses, and they’ve become so ubiquitous that…
Two Republican lawmakers have introduced a federal measure that would prohibit states, localities, or any other organization from using federal funding and background check information to maintain gun registries. On February 25, U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Mississippi, and U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Arizona, reintroduced S 3916, the Gun-owner Registration Information Protection (GRIP) Act. The measure would clarify existing law prohibiting states or local entities from using federal funds to store or disclose sensitive, personal information related to the legal ownership or possession of firearms. “The Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens remain imperiled as Democrats and anti-gun activists lean into…
Gun rights versus gun control is a debate that, in theory, is non-partisan.However, we also tend to know where and how various parties will fall on the issue based on their party affiliation. There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part, Republicans are more likely to support gun rights while Democrats are more likely to support gun control. But, as in most things, there are exceptions. We’ve seen plenty of them.And one of those exceptions penned an op-ed for the Minnesota Star-Tribune about the liberal case for the Second Amendment.As a lifelong liberal…
Images by the author The Ruger Security moniker has been around for a long time. It started in 1972 when Ruger introduced a mid-sized-frame, six-shot DA .357 Magnum revolver to compete with similar wheelguns made by Colt and Smith and Wesson. As per Ruger’s business model, it was designed with the everyday shooter in mind, but its main purpose was to attract the attention of agencies seeking a duty revolver. The Security Six (and later Service Six and Speed Six) guns were solid, no-frills guns that came in 2.75-, 3-, 4-, and 6-inch barrel lengths. They were made both in…
No matter how often gun control activists utter the phrase “I support the Second Amendment,” there’s inevitably a “but” that follows and completely negates that self-professed support. Some anti-gun activists want to repeal the Second Amendment. Many others would rather just ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist. Ruby Goodwin, on the other hand, wants to “complicate” the right to keep and bear arms.Goodwin, a student at the University of California-Irvine, believes the United States is suffering from an “oversimplification of the Second Amendment and its application in the modern day.” Now, I’m not the…
We stopped at the top of the Eiger Trail. Below the slopes of the Kleine Scheidegg ski resort stretched toward the town of Grindelwald, visible in the distance. Above, the towering peak of the deadly mountain loomed, made famous by the 1976 Clint Eastwood movie, The Eiger Sanction. I dropped my RMU Roll Top EDC Pack in the snow, unrolled its top, and pulled out a snack and my water to take in the view of the Swiss Alps. The Roll Top EDC had been pulling triple duty on this trip. It was my travel pack for airport days, my…
When you buy a gun, especially in a state with universal background checks, you’ve shown you’re a law-abiding citizen. Criminals don’t do it, mind you, but that’s a point that gets ignored all the time. So what happens when you go to a gun range for a particular event or class, only to have the range tell you that you have to submit to a background check just to shoot your gun?That’s what one shooter and Second Amendment advocate reported happening at a Colorado range.Last week I asked if you would be okay with consenting…
Artificial intelligence may be able to cure diseases once thought to be incurable. AI is said to be unlocking new treatments and inventing new drugs against Parkinson’s disease, antibiotic-resistant superbugs, and many other rare diseases. The Real Threat Is Artificial Credit, Not Artificial Intelligence This is technological progress that many scientists never thought possible. “We can – in a matter of days or hours – look at massive libraries” of chemical compounds to identify those that display antibacterial activity, says James Collins, professor of medical engineering and science, at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, US. With the help of…
The Trump Administration has tasked the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) with boosting resource extraction from public lands across the U.S. That charge includes everything from establishing new oil and gas leasing in Alaska to expanding lithium mines in Nevada. Now, Western Oregon is the latest area slated for increased commercial output by the BLM. On Feb. 18, the agency announced plans to increase timber harvesting across nearly 2 million acres. Supporters see the move as an economic necessity, while opponents worry about the environmental impacts. BLM Oregon Timber Harvest: The Plan The section of public land in question covers…
One of the individuals charged with a shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade in 2024 has been released from jail after prosecutors in Jackson County, Missouri offered him a deal allowing him to plead guilty one count of unlawful use of a weapon, while second-degree murder charges were dropped. Dominic Miller was sentenced to two years in prison on the gun charge, but with time served behind bars while awaiting trial he’s already completed his sentence. The deal has drawn plenty of criticism, but Jackson County Prosecutor Melesa Johnson is trying to pass…
Left-wing journalist and self-described “disturbed editorial cartoonist” for Alabama’s AL.com, JD Crowe, recently wrote a piece so indicative of Constitutional ignorance that I felt the need to make fun of him, publicly. His piece (of trash), entitled “Bullets for breakfast? Alabama proposes ammo tax holiday while still taxing groceries,” is exactly the type of emotionally devious drivel used to sway those seen by leftist elites as easily manipulated, or useful idiots. The article even begins with the tagline, “Let them eat bullets. – Alabama GOP lawmakers, probably,” a deliberate double entendre undoubtedly meant to stoke fear and demonize political opposition,…
“Take a back road under KC lights” sounds like a cliché country song; for Taylor Urich, it’s just another day at the office. In the fourth episode of ‘Riding Shotgun,” Urich partnered with Arizona Game & Fish Department’s Michael Colaianni for a drive along the pine-lined Woody Mountain Road. This trail just outside Flagstaff shows off what matters most to Urich: accessible trails to beautiful scenery, courtesy of responsible and ethical off-highway vehicle (OHV) drivers. At KC HiLiTES — yes, those smiley-faced yellow lights — adventure is at the heart of what they do. Urich explained how safety fits like…
The term “Fudd,” as I typically use it, refers to someone who owns guns, uses them, but is very quick to throw our rights under the bus because they think guns should only be for hunting or something. They’re more than willing to sell us down the river by supporting universal background checks, assault weapon bans, or even bans on many semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and pistols. After all, it doesn’t impact their old .30-.30 lever action or bolt-action .30-06. And, honestly, that’s a stupid way to look at things. After all, when they say they’ll…
The United States embassy in Nigeria has warned that American facilities and U.S.-affiliated schools in the country could be targets of a potential terrorist attack, the mission reported on Monday. The warning allegedly covers the consulate, the embassy, and all affected schools in the country. The notice called on American citizens to stay alert and follow safety guidance while in Nigeria. “The US Embassy in Abuja informs US citizens of a possible terrorist threat against US facilities and US-affiliated schools in Nigeria,” the advisory states. US Launches Strikes Against “Terrorist Scum” In Nigeria Rulers in the U.S. have released a series of…
Body-on-frame construction, solid axles, a proven powertrain, a pop-top, and all the overland living systems on board to make life on the road less traveled quite comfortable. This is the basic recipe that Storyteller Overland cooked up with the new Grand Bohemian overland vehicle. It’s based on an INEOS Grenadier, is fully kitted out for off-road and camping adventure, and has an Alu-Cab pop-top. The concept behind this vehicle is to allow “its owner to confidently move between the worlds of daily driver, weekend warrior, and true long-range traveler without compromising.” (Photos/Storyteller Overland) Possibly the best part of this turnkey…
Gun buyers in Colorado are already subject to a three-day waiting period, but that arbitrary delay could last even longer if a newly introduced bill becomes law. HB26-1302 would give the Colorado Bureau of Investigation the power to set its own operating hours for conducting background checks on firearm transfers. At the moment CBI is required by state law to staff its background check office 12 hours a day, excluding Christmas and Thanksgiving. But the bill’s sponsors claim that, since the state has imposed a three-day waiting period, there’s no pressing need for CBI to…
A run-of-the-mill bass fishing tournament in Texas quickly became a potential crime scene last weekend. On Sunday, March 8, tournament officials from Big Bass Splash’s Lake Fork Lures Co. Tournament called Texas Game Wardens about potential tampering with one of the prize fish. The incident ended in the arrest of one of the tournament participants, who now faces third-degree felony charges. Cheating in Texas Bass Tournament: What Happened? The Lake Fork Lure Company Tournament is a bass fishing competition that awards hourly cash prizes for fish caught by competitors. The total prize value of the tournament exceeds $10,000. During the…
