A 90-year-old grazing law just collided with one of the most controversial conservation efforts in the American West. In January 2026, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued a Proposed Decision to rescind grazing permits that allowed the privately owned bison of American Prairie, a Montana-based nonprofit conservation organization, to graze federal allotments in central Montana. Those permits were approved in 2022 after environmental review. Now, the agency says it lacks authority under the Taylor Grazing Act to authorize that use. I live in the middle of this fight. On my town’s main street sits the American Prairie visitor center.…
As gun owners, we are familiar with the use of deadly force and how it relates to being personally responsible and legally protected. In every professional concealed carry course taught in the United States, three legal concepts are also discussed: Stand Your Ground, Duty to Retreat and Castle Doctrine. 30 states have codified “stand your ground laws” established and eight states have established legal precedence to support the justified use of force for citizens. For those of us in the Peach State, under Georgia Code §16-3-21, individuals are permitted to use force to defend themselves against unlawful force. Additionally, Georgia Code §16-3-23.1—commonly known as…
The Crime Prevention Research Center just dropped a new report, and it’s already stirring debate. Dr. John Lott and his team examined FBI active shooting data from 2018 through 2024. And they argue that much of the public conversation has been statistically incomplete. The headline claim? When you adjust for population share, transgender individuals appear disproportionately represented in active shooting and mass public shooting cases, particularly in 2024. SEE ALSO: Trans Dad Opens Fire at Rhode Island Hockey Game The Statistical Argument Lott’s core critique targets prior reporting from outlets like Politifact, which focused on the percentage of attacks committed…
Some items included in Democrat Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s proposed budget have gun-rights activists crying foul. Pennsylvania representatives with Gun Owners of America (GOA) are calling attention to two particular items in the budget, the first being a proposed $1 million to fund an Office of Gun Violence Prevention within the Pennsylvania Commission for Crime and Delinquency. “This office would be nothing more than a propaganda machine to justify more calls for gun control through legislative advocacy,” Dr. Val Finnell, PA-GOA director, wrote in a state alert. “Once again, Governor Shapiro is trying to assault your Article 1, Section 21…
On Saturday, United States ruler Donald Trump said that he would send a “great hospital boat” to Greenland to take care of what he called its “many people who are sick, and not being taken care of.” Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen immediately rejected the idea, saying “no thank you.” Trump has been attempting to acquire the Arctic island. A few months ago, he refused to rule out military intervention as a way to take the island by force if necessary. Since then, his rhetoric has softened slightly, with the U.S. ruler now wanting to “buy” and annex the autonomous…
Jeep finally brings back the Cherokee, this time as its first traditional hybrid. The 2026 Jeep Cherokee is much bigger, much more fuel-efficient, and is overall a much better vehicle than its predecessor. The compact utility vehicle segment is the largest in the U.S., and one Jeep has been absent from since the last generation (KL) Cherokee ended production in February 2023. For 2026, it has grown up in all the ways, especially in terms of size and refinement. I got the chance to drive the new Cherokee around the Malibu canyons outside of Los Angeles, for a total of…
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier just did something almost unheard of — he told an appeals court that his own state got a conviction wrong because it violated the Second Amendment. The case involves Christopher Morgan, who was convicted in Pennsylvania back in 2007 for carrying a firearm without a state license. Not a violent crime. Not a drug offense. Not a crime against another person. He was carrying a gun without a piece of paper saying he could. Fifteen years later, Morgan was stopped by a Florida officer. He voluntarily told the officer he had a pistol in his…
When the power goes out, most people assume they’re stuck with cold meals, food straight from the can, or boring snacks. But with a bit of planning and a few basic tools like a camp stove or grill and some cast-iron cookware, you can prepare hot, delicious meals even during a blackout.Whether you’re dealing with a short-term blackout or preparing for a long-term grid-down scenario, having a stockpile of non-perishable ingredients is a good idea. Canned meats, powdered milk and eggs, dried grains, and dehydrated fruits and vegetables can be transformed into everything from savory skillet dinners to warm breakfast…
A new law meant to reduce gun-involved suicides is set to take effect in Colorado later this year, but will it truly have an impact?Last session lawmakers approved a bill known as “Donna’s Law”, which sets up a voluntary “Do Not Sell” list allows residents to block themselves from purchasing a firearm. Colorado is the fifth state in the country to enact such the law, which is named after a woman named Donna Nathan, who took her own life eight years ago. Nathan’s daughter has been a vocal advocate of these “Do Not Sell” registries, which are already in…
United States ruler Donald Trump has raised the global tariff rate to 15%, up from 10%, just one day after the Supreme Court struck down most of his other instituted tariffs. But Trump said he’d find a way to get around the ruling. The U.S. government would find ways to impose other “new and legally permissible tariffs” in the coming months. He had earlier promised to launch investigations into potentially unfair foreign trade practices that could lead to additional tariffs. Trump’s Sweeping Tariffs Set To Hit Consumers Hard — From iPhones to Automobiles On Friday, America’s highest court ruled that the…
The United States Army defends the presence of a color guard at a national religious conference for Christianity that included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as the keynote speaker, calling its presence “patriotic” and “neutral” from endorsing particular beliefs.The National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), the self-described largest association of Christian communicators, welcomed Hegseth to orate to during its NRB Freedom 250 Celebration on Feb. 19, as part of its broader 2026 International Christian Media Convention at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tenn.The celebration of 250 years of American independence, according to the NRB, “brought together national leaders, Christian…
I think everyone who is mentally capable of owning a gun should have one. Yes, that includes felons, because I also think that if you’re still a danger to society, you should still be locked up. Anyway, while I think everyone should have one, that’s never going to happen. Not everyone feels capable of taking a human life, which I get. That’s never something anyone should consider lightly, though I personally argue that the moment someone comes after me or mine, they’ve forfeited their humanity. But that’s just me.For folks like that, though, they might still…
From legislative wins and losses to a tragic shooting that put permit questions back in the spotlight, it’s been a busy week in the world of concealed carry. Here’s the rundown. Can Your Carry Gun Be “Outdated”? TFB Says No. The Firearm Blog’s weekly Concealed Carry Corner tackled a question that gets a lot of airtime in online gun forums: is your carry gun outdated? The short answer is no. While the industry churns out new micro-compacts with ever-increasing capacity, classics like the Glock 43, S&W Shield, and even snub-nose revolvers remain entirely viable defensive tools. Carry what you shoot…
Gun control activists will use any high-profile crime committed with a firearm to demand more restrictions on lawful gun owners, and as my colleague Tom Knighton covered on Friday, that’s exactly what’s happening in Missouri after a convicted felon from Kansas allegedly pulled a gun and shot at least three people, two of them fatally. Tom, though, didn’t delve into the specifics of what Democrats are actually demanding, and I think it’s important to do so, because once again the gun laws they’re calling for in response to a crime would not have prevented the…
