The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield X is not just a stretched Shield with a fresh label slapped on the box. It shoots flatter, carries easier than a thicker compact, and makes a very strong case for being the smarter slimline 9mm for everyday carry. In 2025, Smith and Wesson brought their latest iteration of the Shield line, the Shield X, to the market. It is a larger micro gun, similar to the Hellcat Pro or Sig P365XL. Was Smith and Wesson just late to this XL CCW micro gun market, or were they saving the best gun for last?…
The Pacific Northwest used to be home to a lot of people who had good common sense. Then everything changed. Portland became insane, dragging the rest of the state of Oregon with it, and suddenly, they were hostile toward anything that didn’t serve the progressive cause. In other words, they went hard down the anti-gun road. So, when I see gun-related news out of Oregon, I expect to see something full of stupid.However, it seems that a court of appeals there actually exercised a bit of actual reason in a case that involved a convicted…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A drone strike targeted the United Arab Emirates’ sole nuclear power plant on Sunday, sparking a fire on its perimeter. There were no reports of injuries or radiological release, but it highlighted the risk of renewed war as the Iran ceasefire remains tenuous. No one immediately claimed responsibility, and the UAE did not blame anyone. It has however accused Iran of launching drone and missile attacks in recent days as tensions rise over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital energy waterway still gripped by Iran, which is under a U.S. naval blockade. The UAE…
Braden Peters, better known as “Clavicular”, could see a misdemeanor charge of discharge of a firearm in public wiped off his record thanks to a deal his attorneys have worked out with the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office. Peters was charged after a livestream showed him and a second influencer shooting at what appeared to be an alligator carcass in the Everglades Wildlife Management Area back in March, but People reports that he agreed to plead no contest to the charge on Friday in exchange for a pretty sweet deal. During a May 15 court appearance, Peters…
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, returned home to Virginia on Saturday after an 11-month deployment, the longest since the Vietnam War, that saw it support the U.S. war with Iran and the capture of Nicolás Maduro when he was Venezuela’s president. The most advanced U.S. warship and two accompanying destroyers docked at Naval Station Norfolk with about 5,000 sailors waiting to see their families for the first time since June. Besides combat operations and traversing continents, the sailors aboard the carrier faced a noncombat-related fire that left hundreds without places to…
A Navy veteran’s breakthrough research could make it easier for doctors to detect pneumonia in children. Shereiff Garrett, who recently earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Fayetteville State University (FSU) in Fayetteville, N.C., won first place in a national competition by using artificial intelligence (AI) in pediatric X-rays to spot pneumonia, which can sometimes lead to hospitalization and even death in small children. In March, Garrett took home the top prize in the Computer Science and Information Management oral presentation division at the Emerging Researchers National (ERN) Conference in Atlanta. Garrett had stiff competition. The contest, hosted by…

Army veteran Alan Bonnin would be alive today if not for an aggressive three-year fight with asbestos-causing mesothelioma that ultimately took his life. The hardworking husband, father and retired soldier never questioned his work as a longtime mechanic and HVAC technician after leaving the armed forces. His specialty of working on brakes and then later for 30 years at a heating and cooling company is believed to be how he contracted the cancer from the hidden asbestos risk he faced on the job. “I never thought that I would be affected by something like mesothelioma,” Bonnin said in a testimonial…
