The Supreme Court has turned away a challenge to the federal statute prohibiting illegal aliens from possessing firearms, but did not take action on two other cert petitions dealing with gun bans for those convicted of crimes punishable by more than a year in prison. The Court denied cert, without comment, to Carbajal-Flores v. United States in its orders list released on Monday morning. That case, along with Vincent v. Bondi and Duarte v. U.S., were all heard during the justice’s conference last Thursday. In Carbajal-Flores, the Court was asked to consider whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(A), which…

The caliber’s versatility made it an easy choice for The Exception. The Exception is designed…
If you ranked weight-lifting events, the bench press would be by far the most popular in many groups who lift. For powerlifters, bodybuilders, athletes and young teens getting started with their fitness, the bench press is easy to learn and relatively safe, and it offers the conversation starter between many lifters of, “How much do you bench?”When bench pressing, it is easy to lose your spot on the bench if you take too long between sets in a crowded gym. If you do bench press at home or when the gym is not crowded, you can try all the combinations…
Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of social media app Telegram, says that France could be involved in the murder of infamous United States Christian Nationalist and conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Durov claimed that Kirk’s assassin had trained with the French Legion. Durov, who is a Russian tech entrepreneur, was commenting on right-wing commentator Candace Owens’ claims that Kirk’s assassin “trained with the French Legion 13th Brigade with multi-state involvement.” In the same X post, shared on Friday, Owens said she had been warned by a high-ranking official that French President Emmanuel Macron had “authorized professional units” to carry out…
There are plenty of things you expect to fight offshore: Wind. waves, the occasional bout of seasickness. But your own balance should not be one of them. The Dometic DG3 is a compact, all-electric gyrostabilizer designed to counter boat roll and keep you steady when the ocean tries to throw you around. Before testing it, I figured this might be one of those high-tech features that sounds good on paper but doesn’t change much in practice. I mean, they’ve been putting gyroscopes on boats since the late 1800s. How much different could the DG3 really be? I decided to join…
The Bloomberg-backed website The Trace has once again partnered with Rolling Stone on a hit piece designed to portray the firearms industry in the worst light possible. The headline of the piece promises to reveal “The Gun Industry’s Digital Tricks to Make Buying Guns a Habit,” but the big problem for the anti-gun reporters is that there’s just no “there” there. The Trace got ahold of a May, 2024 marketing webinar from Guns.com’s digital marketing director Will Altherr. If you’ve ever been involved in retail sales or e-commerce, Altherr’s recommendations won’t strike you as unusual,…

The FAA is bracing for one of the busiest travel periods in years. For military families traveling on leave, veterans heading home and service members in transit, timing and reliability can mean the difference between a reunion and a missed connection.The Federal Aviation Administration is…
When most people think of the Pacific Theater of World War II, they envision tropical islands, heat, and jungle combat. However, the 18-day campaign in May 1943 to retake a remote Aleutian island from Japanese occupation was the total opposite. The fight over the frozen island became the only land battle of World War II fought on U.S. soil.More than 15,000 soldiers faced fanatical Japanese troops as well as harsh winds, freezing rain and terrain that injured more men than combat did. When the fighting ended, nearly 3,000 Japanese and American troops lay dead on the frozen island—and an entire…

Click here to get started today. A 25-year-old Oklahoma 7-Eleven clerk, Stephanie Dilyard, found herself in the fight of her life just before midnight Thursday.

When someone from one culture enters another, assumptions, misperceptions and biases often enter with them and are lodged toward them. Exiting the military and entering the civilian sector might not feel like a cultural shift. After all, you were a civilian before joining the military. But when you realize how vastly different the norms, language, mission, customs, rewards and sacrifices are, it is a huge cultural change.In a recent coaching meeting with a Marine who left the military 12 months ago, he raised this question:In a team meeting recently, I was sharing an aspect of my training (learned during my…
In early October, Canada’s Liberal government kicked off it’s long-delayed compensated confiscation efforts with a test run in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The goal of the “buyback” effort is to take thousands of lawfully purchased semi-automatic firearms from their rightful owners. While the Liberal government has called the scheme “voluntary,” anyone caught possessing one of the banned firearms after the government’s amnesty period expires risks criminal charges. Because of Canada’s restrictive gun laws, the government had a list of about 200 “assault weapons” in the Cape Breton area, as well as the names of their owners.…
New York isn’t moving toward constitutional carry, but the demand for firearms in New York City is exploding. Gun shops and instructors are slammed with residents trying to navigate the state’s maze of requirements just to exercise a basic constitutional right. What many first-time buyers are discovering is that they can’t simply walk into a store, buy a gun, and walk out. Not that day. Not that week. Sometimes not even that year. The delays and layers of red tape are by design. New York’s political class has spent decades building a system that frustrates lawful citizens into giving up.…

CZ’s 600+ Alpha in .243 Win blends a crisp 1.4 lb single-stage trigger, controlled-feed reliability, and a quick-change barrel system. We shot groups, ran offhand drills, and pushed real hunting loads to see what this rifle actually does on target. Inside the CZ 600+ Alpha: Features That Matter CZ might be best known for their autoloading pistols, but they have built quality rifles for decades. Their 457 series of rimfire rifles continues to cater to the target, training, and small game markets.

Florida has sometimes been billed as “The Gunshine State” by residents. After all, it’s a pro-gun state, right? They got permitless carry via the legislature, and now they’ve got open carry. There’s every reason for people to trust the state to protect their gun rights. Of course, that’s not quite true.For example, adults under 21 can’t buy a long gun in the state. Everyone has to deal with a three-day waiting period. Open carry only happened because of a judicial decision. There are red flag laws in place that can disarm someone because of the…
Beretta finally gives the Bobcat a real modernization with the 20X, and it shows. We shot both side by side to see if the new gun truly fixes the 21A’s quirks or just dresses them up. Tip Up Legacy: Why These Tiny Bobcats Still Matter Most of the time, when a new generation of an existing gun hits the market, it’s not too much different. Glock has been making the same gun for three decades now. That’s most of the time, but sometimes things get radical. Beretta has quietly produced the tip-up pocket pistols for decades now, and recently they…
I have often recommended that people replace running with biking over the years, especially if their miles per week are starting to exceed a progression of 10%-15% from the previous week. However, you cannot just hop on a bike or a stationary bike and just pedal; you need to put in some effort and a similar heart rate to the type of running you are replacing. This can include easy Zone 2, sprint intervals, goal-pace effort, and lactate-threshold-type workouts. Here is a question about biking in place of running. Hey Stew. How often is it acceptable to use the bike as…
When Germany overran Greece in 1941, one last Allied stronghold in the region remained: the island of Crete. With the Italian navy unable to guarantee control of the seas, Adolf Hitler turned to his prized Fallschirmjäger, German paratroopers, to seize the island in the first large-scale airborne assault in historyThe invasion quickly descended into chaos. Allied anti-aircraft fire shredded German transport planes, scattering paratroopers across the island. Many landed far from their supply canisters and were left armed with only pistols. Greek civilians joined British, Australian, Greek and New Zealand troops in resisting the landings, further adding to the confusion.Against…
