“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…

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…

West Milford, N.J., recently became the 18th city in the state to vote to refund all or part of the fees required to obtain a carry permit in the Garden State. The move was in response to a plan formulated by the National Rifle Association (NRA), the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) and the New Jersey Firearm Owners Syndicate (NJFOS) to persuade municipalities in the state to voluntarily drop the excessively high fees imposed by the state for concealed-carry permits. A New Jersey statute requires permit holders to renew their permits every two years…
For the second year in a row, Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon has vetoed legislation aimed at preventing law enforcement from enforcing federal gun laws. Gordon’s veto was hardly unexpected, given that last week he called the proposed amendments to the state’s Second Amendment Protection Act an “embarrassment” and described it as fundraising disguised as legislation. Gordon, who vetoed a similar bill last year, cast it as an affront to local law enforcement during the radio show.“So, when you have 23 sheriffs come in and say, ‘This Second Amendment protection act does nothing more than what…
Virginia gun owners just got some bad news. According to a late-night update from Washington Gun Law’s William Kirk, Virginia lawmakers have passed Senate Bill 749, sending a sweeping new gun control measure to the governor’s desk, where it’s widely expected to be signed into law. And once that happens, the countdown begins. Under the legislation, the law will take effect July 1, 2026, giving gun owners just a short window before major restrictions hit the state’s firearm market. The bill targets what the state defines as “assault firearms,” banning the commercial sale, transfer, or offering for sale of those…

For nearly six decades, the M67 fragmentation grenade has been the primary hand grenade American soldiers have carried into combat. That changes now.The Army cleared the M111 Offensive Hand Grenade for full material release Tuesday, marking the first new lethal hand grenade to enter service since 1968.
