Redistricting efforts may not sound all that much like it should make a difference in the Second Amendment debate. California’s especially. After all, isn’t California already anti-gun enough for a dozen states? That’s certainly true, but on Tuesday, in addition to all the other ways gun rights lost big, it also lost with the passage of Prop 50 in the Golden State.What is Prop 50, some of you may ask?Well, it’s a proposition that would take redistricting out of the hands of a supposedly independent panel and put it back in the hands of the…

When you think of .357 Magnum revolvers, you might be inclined to mentally picture a 6-inch barrel attached to a medium-sized frame. They are usually six-shooters, unless they’re in 5-shot snub-nose form. Hopefully, an adjustable rear sight adorns the frame. The mental image is completed by reflecting in the gun’s deep, polished blue finish. Well, sometimes our mental images get a bit fractured. Take the gun we have before us today… a Ruger GP100 .357. This gun sports a 4.2-inch barrel, a seven-shot cylinder, two-piece rubber and wood grips, and a beautiful satin stainless finish. A finely adjustable rear sight…

Abigail Spanberger didn’t talk much about gun control on the campaign trail (neither did Republican Winsome Earle-Sears, though that’s a topic for another post), but her website did boast of her support for bans on “large capacity” magazines, storage mandates, and several other gun control measures.  More importantly, Spanberger is likely to sign any and all gun control bills that get to her desk. With Democrats in control of both the House and Senate in Virginia, gun owners in the Old Dominion should prepare themselves for an onslaught of attacks on their Second Amendment rights. What’s…

When it comes to knives, variety is the name of the game. People are picky, myself included, so having options creates appeal. Over time, I have come to prefer certain materials over others, along with certain shapes and sizes. Suffice it to say, when I go hunting for knives, I know what I’m looking for. That being the case, I knew about the Vosteed Psyop; it’s been around for a few years. I never really had any interest in it. As much as I love the Elmax steel employed on its blade, the size and shape didn’t appeal to me.…

Terrorism is a problem that has plagued the world, and has done so since well before 9/11. That’s just what kicked the hornet’s nest with regard to how the United States would respond to terrorism. Yet Europe has gotten hit a bit more often than we have, in part because it’s not that difficult to access the continent from the Middle East, where most Islamic terrorists seem to come from. Some even live in European countries for years, being given literally everything while giving nothing in return, only to turn around and bite the hand…

SIG SAUER announced this week that new parts and accessories for the M17 (full-size) and M18 (compact) pistols have been approved for use under the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System (MHS) program. The authorization lets soldiers procure approved items through existing military supply channels, simplifying logistics for units that want to reconfigure fielded pistols. The modular nature of the P320’s fire control unit (FCU) is central to the update. Because the FCU is the serialized core of the pistol, components around it can be changed without replacing the FCU itself. SIG and the Army collaborated on a Modular Handgun eXchange…

An Akron, Ohio man has been sentenced to ten years in prison after being convicted of possessing an illegally modified Glock pistol equipped with a “switch,” a small device that converts a handgun from semi-automatic to fully automatic fire. Summit County Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich announced that 33-year-old Maurice Arnold received the sentence following his conviction on weapons and drug charges. Investigators said one of the Glock pistols found in his home was fitted with an illegal switch, a device about the size of a quarter that allows a pistol to fire continuously with a single pull of the trigger. The…

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned the European Union that it will ignite a war if it accepts Ukraine into the bloc. Because of this, Orban says Budapest has a good reason to oppose Kiev’s membership. Ukraine’s ruler, Volodymyr Zelensky, claimed in an interview with Euronews’ Enlargement Summit reported on by RT on Tuesday that “Orban has to offer something for Ukraine, which is protecting the whole Europe from Russia, and even now, during this war, we did not get any support from him.” Orban has long been against furthering the war and helping Ukraine continue it as Russia…

There are many ways for visitors to see and experience Italy: via train, car, or cruise ship. The best way, however, is by foot, and fortunately, there is an established trail that allows you to do just that. The Cammino di San Francesco (CDF), or Way of St. Francis, takes hikers from Florence to Rome on a culturally rich and naturally beautiful route that will help them see Italy in a whole new light. I did the Cammino di San Francesco in 2018, and made mistakes and got blisters, so you don’t have to. Learn all about this unique hike,…

A new survey of Wisconsin voters shows the state’s concealed carry law is more popular than ever, while opposition continues to crater.According to the most recent Marquette Law School poll, the vast majority of Wisconsin residents say they back being able to bear arms in self-defense.. with even a majority of Democrats expressing their approval.  About 77% of poll respondents favor concealed carry permits, including large majorities of Republicans and Independents and a modest majority of Democrats.But those same respondents strongly oppose efforts to do away with the permits entirely, commonly referred to as “constitutional…

One thing about anti-Second Amendment types is that they never stop pushing. They say they don’t want to take our guns away–well, most of them say that, even if they don’t mean it–but they also never tell us exactly where the line is, other than not wanting a total gun ban. The moment they get what they’re currently asking for, which is always termed as some kind of “common sense” gun control that is just a simple ask from them, they start wanting more and more. Yet my buddy Dan Wos has looked at the…
