Despite a growing trend of transgender mass shooters over the past few years, the so-called “mainstream media” continues to ignore the facts. In fact, they won’t publish or air any stories that are negative toward transgender individuals. At the other end of the spectrum are those claiming that “nearly all” recent mass murders have been committed by transgender people. That’s not true, and can be just as damaging as ignoring the facts. Thankfully, researcher John Lott from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) has crunched the numbers. And a recent report posted at the CRPC website tells the true story.…
In the early days of the nation, before it was really even a country, much of our nation’s naval power was in the form of privateers. These men received letters of marque that authorized them to raid British shipping and to profit from it. In essence, it was piracy with permission, and it’s kind of glorious. The Constitution authorized Congress to issue letters of marque and reprisal, though they haven’t done it for ages now. While Lincoln was authorized to use them during the Civil War, the last use seems to have been around 1815.Now,…
If there’s one certainty in the firearms world, it’s that every new Glock generation causes an absolute uproar both in general firearms discussion and, more importantly, through the accessory market. That’s certainly true with the newly released Gen 6 pistols, and FALCO Holsters has moved fast to keep pace in our turbulent market. Known for its blend of Falconry-derived artisan craftsmanship and modern materials, the Slovak-based company has officially expanded support for Glock’s newest handguns, according to its latest press release.

I’m a big bib enthusiast for resort skiing, but big names charge a car payment for their high-end options. REI Co-op, luckily, is here to save the day with a GORE-TEX bib shell pant for a third of the price of most other options. The REI Co-op First Chair GTX Bibs for men are a simple, streamlined, and (relatively) affordable pair of ski bibs that’ll appeal to skiers on a budget and minimalists who don’t want a ton of pockets, zippers, and features all over their outerwear. This two-layer GORE-TEX build offers plenty of weather protection. But if you think you need more…
In less than a month, the Supreme Court is slated to consider Schoenthal v. Raoul in conference. The case involves a challenge to the ban on lawfully carried firearms on all public transportation in Illinois, as well as the Chicago Transit Authority’s prohibition on lawful carry. Last week Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul submitted his reply brief to the Supreme Court, arguing that the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals was right to overturn a district court decision that found the prohibitions unconstitutional as they applied to the Schoenthal plaintiffs. The Seventh Circuit (and Raoul) contend that virtually…
Petzl is one of the leading manufacturers of climbing equipment and a major innovator in the industry, but this week, it took a hit. On Feb. 22, the brand issued a recall for two ice axes and three guide harnesses. Ice Axes The brand stated that customers have reported that certain batches of the NOMIC (U021AA00) and ERGONOMIC (U022AA00) ice axes have broken at the handles, posing a serious risk of injury or death. An example of a broken ice axe shaft; (photo/Petzl) “The durability of these ice axes does not meet our quality standards, especially for intensive ice climbing…
I don’t like this trend of pro-gun states passing bans on full-auto switches. These devices are already illegal at the federal level, and while I recognize that states passing such laws allows them to prosecute when the feds can’t or won’t, it’s still troubling. Alabama did it recently, and now Kentucky is considering it.While I get the arguments why they might, it’s strange that I have a problem with an argument against a gun control bill, but here we are. Why do I have an issue with it? Well, let’s get to it, shall we?Currently,…
There is no animal more synonymous with the great outdoors than the bear. Scientists have been working for decades to reduce the negative outcomes of when the inevitable happens: Human meets bear. Newly released data from Colorado sheds light on just how well man and bear are coexisting. The Data Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has been tracking bear-human interactions since 2019, when it launched a wildlife incident reporting app. The state is home to somewhere from 17,000 to 20,000 black bears (there are no grizzlies in the state). An Increase The 2025 data shows several noteworthy trends. The agency…
The gun and magazine bans endorsed by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz failed to make it out of a House committee on Tuesday afternoon, but the legislation could still be introduced as an amendment to any bills that hit the House floor this session. After Tuesday’s hearing in the House Public Safety committee, where HF 3433 and HF 3402 failed to pass on a 10-10 vote, angry anti-gun activists lashed out at MN Gun Owners Caucus Director of Government Relations and Advocacy Anna Learny, who had testified in opposition to the gun and magazine ban legislation…
Russia has drawn a line in the sand, issuing a warning if European nations arm Ukraine with nuclear weapons. Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), Vassily Nebenzia, denounced the plan as “irresponsible.” Russia has specifically warned France and the United Kingdom that alleged plans to provide Kiev with nuclear weapons could trigger severe global consequences. Nebenzia also accused the Western European powers at the UN Security Council of pursuing a dangerous escalation in the Ukraine conflict. “Such plans are not only irresponsible and dangerous but also a direct violation of Article I of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation…
While Jeep wants you to get excited about the all-new, super-efficient, and power-dense Hurricane 4 Turbo powerplant, there is a much deeper story here. The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a mid-cycle refresh of a very good SUV, but it isn’t all rainbows and unicorns for the new model year. I drove a 2026 Grand Cherokee Summit edition, a fully loaded machine, around the Malibu Canyons north of Los Angeles on a sunny afternoon, just as a massive storm was clearing. The roads were winding and wet, while the hills were vibrant green. As usual, when I have a short…
On Feb. 11, 1917, Woodrow Wilson was the nation’s president. World War I was still more than a year and a half away from ending. And in a small town in northwestern North Dakota, near the Canadian border, Ray Curtis was born. The state’s oldest veteran recently celebrated his 109th birthday. Curtis survived the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl that tore through the High Plains in the 1930s, and life as a World War II soldier. Growing up in Columbus, North Dakota, Curtis was one of four children raised on a grain farm. The depression hit farmers particularly hard, and Curtis’ family was…
New Mexico has become a Second Amendment battleground of late, and the recent legislative session, which adjourned February 19, is more proof of that reality. In fact, Democrats in the New Mexico legislature pushed one of the most extreme gun-ban proposals in the country before the measure finally stalled and the session ended, killing it for now. Senate Bill 17 would have banned common gas-operated semi-automatic firearms, .50-caliber rifles virtually never used in crimes and firearm magazines holding more than 10 rounds under the guise of labeling them all “extremely dangerous weapons.” The measure passed the state Senate by a…
This episode of the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s “Riding Shotgun” series took us from the trails to the training grounds. Kim Jackson, AZGFD’s Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Safety Education Manager, spoke to the importance of proper OHV safety training with Michael Colaianni, the Public Affairs and Media Relations Director for AZGFD. Jackson’s role as an educator includes course setup, grading, liability management, equipment preparation, and hands-on training at AZGFD’s OHV training grounds in Phoenix.

As Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was unveiling a gun control package targeting legal gun owners that included a ban on “assault weapons” and “large capacity” magazines and claiming that those measures will stop incidents of mass violence, a madman 1,500 miles away from Minneapolis was proving just how empty the governor’s promises were. Four people in Gig Harbor, Washington were murdered on Tuesday morning after a man armed with a knife entered a home and began a brutal rampage. Authorities say the initial call came in at 8:41 a.m. as an “Order Violation in Progress,” with…
President Donald Trump used one of the most-watched political stages in America Tuesday night to spotlight something far removed from tax policy and border debates: battlefield valor.During his 2026 State of the Union address, Trump awarded, or announced the awarding of, two Congressional Medals of Honor, recognizing acts of heroism separated by more than seven decades but united by what the president called “extraordinary American courage.”The moments briefly transformed the House chamber from a partisan arena into a military ceremony complete with uniformed officers, wounded warriors, and a 100-year-old Navy fighter pilot receiving the nation’s highest military decoration. U.S. Army…
Anti-gun activist David Hogg blames the United States for what happened in Puerto Vallarta. In his mind, the problem is that we don’t have enough gun control on the books. In response, I pointed out that an armed population probably would have kept the cartels from getting to be the problem they are. Of course, I’m just one guy, and because of where I write, I’m a little biased.Over at the Washington Examiner, columnist Sean Durn, however, seems to agree with my premise.Mexico is awash in violence. And the country’s stringent gun control laws aren’t…
