Montezuma County, Colorado Sheriff Steven Nowlin isn’t the only sheriff in the state who’s refusing to issue the new Firearms Safety Course Eligibility Card that’s now required in order to purchase AR-15s and many other semi-automatic firearms in the state. According to a new filing by the Colorado Shooting Sports Association, the sheriffs in Teller and Bent counties are also declining to participate, with Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell attesting that the burden imposed by the state on his small department is too great. I believe that, in order to cover the cost of the permit-to-purchase…
WARSAW (AP) — A Russian plot to kill a Ukrainian American citizen in Warsaw was thwarted by Poland before it could be carried out, the Polish prime minister said Thursday, marking the first time in decades that a Western leader has publicly accused Moscow of plotting to kill a U.S. citizen. Western officials have previously warned that Russia has stepped up a campaign of targeted killings since President Vladimir Putin’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, saying they have disrupted several plots across Europe. But Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said this incident was unprecedented. It was the first time that “someone…

Lawmakers in Washington are demanding answers from the Navy amid reports of a mental health crisis onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is involved in the U.S.’s war against Iran. The USS Abraham Lincoln, which has 5,000 sailors and marines on board, has been at sea for nine months. It has been in combat with Iran for five months, and has spent 250 days in a row without making land—leaving those on board without the opportunity to see their families and friends. Lawmakers reacted to multiple reports from the Navy Times and Stars and Stripes which, citing interviews with sailors’…

The right to keep and bear arms should be pretty straightforward. It’s not like the Second Amendment features a lot of subclauses and contradictory or confusing language, right? But as we’ve discussed repeatedly here at Bearing Arms, lawfully carrying a firearm outside the borders of the state where you live is often far more difficult than it should be… and in some cases it’s actually impossible. That’s why attorney Alan Beck has teamed up with the National Rifle Association to sue the city of Denver and the state of Colorado on behalf of two non-residents…

A U.S. Navy civilian whistleblower has been forced to return to the same command and directly report to a boss she is suing. Kathryn Denise Rucker Krepp recently requested a federal judge to stop service orders for her return to the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), citing alleged discrimination, harassment and retaliation by her superior, a senior official. Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao is listed as the defendant as part of a lawsuit Krepp filed in July 2025. Krepp claims she was retaliated against not just for reporting a hostile workplace, but for her past roles and being an…

Soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state, are usually preparing for large-scale combat operations in the Pacific. This month, they are digging fire break lines on a mountainside in eastern Washington, trying to keep a wildfire from reaching the homes below. About 240 of them are now assigned to the Modrite Fire, a lightning-sparked blaze burning on the Colville Reservation near the town of Inchelium, along the banks of Lake Roosevelt. They spend their days the way the civilian crews around them do. First, it’s morning briefings, then moving to the…

More than 300 members of the House support it. More than three-quarters of the Senate support its companion bill. Republicans support it. Democrats support it. Major veterans organizations support it. Yet thousands of combat-injured veterans have spent years waiting for Congress to fix a problem nearly everyone seems to agree should be fixed. The Major Richard Star Act would allow certain veterans whose military careers were cut short by combat-related injuries to receive both military retirement pay and Department of Veterans Affairs disability compensation without the offset they face today. For nearly 59,000 medically retired veterans receiving Combat-Related Special Compensation,…
Welcome to the Golden Era Initial jobless claims just did something they haven’t done since 1969. New filings for unemployment benefits dropped to 187,000 for the week ending July 18 — a nearly 57-year low, and a much bigger drop than economists expected. Wall Street spend time debating whether this is “good” or “bad” news for the Fed. I think both sides are missing the real story. This isn’t a cyclical blip. It’s demographics finally showing up in the data. Birth rates across the developed world — the U.S., Europe, Japan, China, South Korea — have been falling for decades,…
What Happened in 2026 So Far Gold has had an insane time this decade. Six years ago, in January 2020, gold’s price was $1,500/ounce. During the Covid-19 March Panic, the price was fell to $1,418 on March 18th, only to surge to a record high of $2,075/oz in August 2020, breaching the seemingly impossible $2,000/ounce benchmark, which many thought would never be done. In August 2020, just as gold hits this incredible new milestone, interest rates bottom. When I say that they bottom, I mean that they have gone near those levels again and who knows if they ever will.…
Iran has reorganized its military to be more aggressive abroad as talks on ending the war with the U.S. remain mired in stalemate, a sign that Tehran is preparing for a protracted era of regional conflict. A raft of top military appointments by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei marks a shift to an “offensive doctrine,” Mohammad Reza Naqdi, a general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who advises the force’s new commander, said in an interview on state TV late Tuesday. “Whenever the conditions are favorable and the order is issued, we must be able to take the operation into enemy…
No Pain No Gain Ceuta is a Spanish city located on the North African coast. Its strategic position at the entrance of the Mediterranean Sea made it a historical prize. Phoenicians, Romans, and Visigoths ruled it sequentially. In 711 AD, the Umayyad Caliphate seized control, integrating it into the Islamic world. Portugal conquered the city in 1415 during the Age of Discovery. In 1580, Spain and Portugal united under a single crown. When the union dissolved in 1640, Ceuta’s residents chose to remain loyal to Spain. The 1668 Treaty of Lisbon officially recognized Spanish sovereignty over the enclave. Today, Ceuta…
When I was a kid, I did a lot of stupid stuff. Being Gen X, we were raised on hose water, Pop-Tarts cold from the foil, and a fair bit of neglect. We did the kind of things that we would never allow our own children to do after we grew up because we watched as the weak among us appeared on Unsolved Mysteries, as nature demanded. We were morons, and we didn’t want to let our kids be morons, too. Unfortunately, some kids are morons, and just like what happened with some in our…
