As Bearing Arms reported last week, New Hampshire did a very good thing. They’re one step closer to having campus carry on college campuses in the state. For a state that has “Live Free or Die” on its license plates, it’s nice to see when they’re living up to that motto. And yeah, that’s what’s happening here, assuming the Senate passes the bill, too.I’m not the only one thrilled to see this, though, and neither is Cam, who wrote about it last week. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is…
When police chase an armed suspect toward a church parking lot on a Sunday morning, things can go sideways fast. That’s exactly what happened February 8 in Hickory, North Carolina. According to reports, officers encountered a 35-year-old man holding a knife outside a nearby restaurant. Commands were given. He refused. The situation escalated into a foot pursuit, straight toward St. Luke’s United Methodist Church as congregants were arriving for service. During the chase, a police K-9 was deployed and reportedly stabbed. At one point, an officer fell, and the suspect turned back toward him with the knife still in hand.…
Putting accessories on a bow isn’t something you should take lightly. I’ve had instances when those very accessories proved the difference between success and failure in the field. You need gear that you can depend on when you need it most. It needs to be able to handle rugged country, being bumped around, and inclement weather. Hamskea has always been a name I’ve trusted across the board here. The new R7 arrow rest might just be the best one yet for me and bowhunters alike. In short: Bowhunters looking for an arrow rest that is not only durable, but dependable,…
I do not envy our friends in the Great White North.At one time, they had gun control laws that were actually kind of tolerable. Yeah, they had stupid ones, but they could also get short-barreled rifles and shotguns over the counter at their local gun store, so there were upsides, too. But that was before Justin Trudeau had to deflect from a “brown face” scandal and leveraged the media’s hatred of gun ownership to do so. Now, things aren’t what they used to be, with a literal gun grab set to take place soon.And the…
Liberty’s high-velocity 9mm Spike chosen by the world’s oldest security firm Liberty Ammunition announced this week that Brink’s U.S. has selected the company’s ammunition for executive protection duties, marking a significant endorsement from the security industry giant. The Bradenton, Florida-based ammunition manufacturer will supply Brink’s protection teams with its 9mm Spike load, a specialized round engineered specifically for the demands of executive protection work. The 55-grain, all-copper projectile features an integral spike design that enables deep penetration through barriers while creating a permanent wound channel—critical capabilities when threats may involve vehicle glass, heavy clothing, or intermediate obstacles. “We support several…
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban claimed that both Kiev and Brussels have declared war on his country. Orban has repeatedly blasted the European Union’s reported plan to make Ukraine a member in spite of Budapest’s objections. But does that mean war? Orban thinks it could be possible. According to a report by Politico, as reported by RT, EU officials want to relax admission criteria and offer Kiev limited privileges in a membership offer scheduled for 2027. Orban has been identified as the main obstacle to the controversial move, with sources suggesting he must be removed in Hungary’s forthcoming election, whether…
Iran has offered a compromise on its nuclear enrichment program. Tehran said that it would be willing to dilute its highly enriched uranium if all sanctions on the country were lifted. Washington has long accused Tehran of trying to create nuclear weapons, while Iran has maintained that its program is strictly civilian. WAR: Israel Launches Airstrikes On Syria Immediately After Trump Withdraws From Iran Nuclear Deal Iran’s nuclear chief, Mohammad Eslami, made the comments to reporters on Monday. The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) signaled Tehran was ready to show some flexibility on the United States’…
With a career focused on photographing pro skiers, writing about new ski operations, and reviewing the latest ski technology, I spend about as many hours in my ski boots as I do with my wife during the winter months. Therefore, cold toes, sore shins, and an average heel hold aren’t compromises I care to make. That’s what led me to ZipFit, a boutique Colorado-based brand known for its proprietary cork insulation. ZipFit liners are, generally speaking, warmer, more secure, and ultra-durable. They can outlast the shells they live in. The only issue? They are heavy, sometimes double the weight of…
On Monday, I covered a newly introduced bill in Wyoming that would compensate gun owners for their legal fees if they were arrested and charged with a shooting but saw those charges dropped or were acquitted on the basis of self-defense. I’d hoped that the bill would make progress this session, even though under the legislature’s rules for bills in a budget year like this one, two-thirds support is needed to keep the bill alive. As it turns out, HB 14 couldn’t even get a simple majority on Tuesday, and was officially passed by on a…
When it comes to riding bikes, even the smallest problems can become a wrench in the spokes. So it’s no surprise that bikepacking, which involves bike-specific racks, packs, and camping gear, has some healthy barriers to entry. That’s where “gear libraries” come in. These gear rentals are often free for those looking to get involved in their local bike community. Of course, the concept of “free” isn’t too common in the U.S., but the community bike groups that manage these resources want to expand a culture of generosity and love of the outdoors. The main issue is simply finding and…
We’re still waiting on the Third Circuit to issue its opinion on New Jersey’s ban on “assault weapons” and “large capacity” magazines after oral arguments were held last fall, but an en banc panel of the appellate court took up more of New Jersey’s restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms on Wednesday morning; the various “sensitive places”, insurance requirements, and other mandates imposed on concealed carry applicants and licensees in the wake of the Bruen decision. The very fact that the Third Circuit decided to take the case en banc after a three-judge…
Browning has introduced the BAR Mk 4, the fourth generation of its long‑running semi‑automatic hunting rifle, updating the platform with improved accuracy, modernized ergonomics, and a broader range of configurations, including factory left‑hand models alongside traditional right‑hand options. Also, there’s a USA 250th Anniversary edition. The BAR Mk 4 builds on John M. Browning’s original gas‑operated autoloading concept that’s more than 100 years old, retaining the system’s reputation for reliability while refining the rifle’s mechanical interface and handling characteristics for modern hunters. Improved Accuracy and Action Design Significantly, one of the changes in the Mk 4 is the new barrel‑to‑receiver…
Henry just doubled down on wheelgun fans. On February 11, 2026, Henry Repeating Arms out of Rice Lake, Wisconsin announced two new revolvers built directly from customer feedback: the H16 Golden Boy Deadeye Revolver and the H17 Big Boy Deadeye Revolver. Same classic Henry feel. Sharper sights. More precision. The big upgrade? A fully adjustable rear notch sight paired with a high-visibility fiber-optic front sight. Translation: better target acquisition, easier point-of-impact adjustments, and improved performance whether you’re punching paper or ringing steel. SEE ALSO: Henry SPD Predator: Most Accurate Lever Action — SHOT Show 2026 Both Deadeye models stick with…
An Army soldier at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas, says he’s grateful to be alive thanks to some fellow soldiers who came to his aid on the side of a road while he was having a medical emergency.U.S. Army Captain Tony Smith says he almost died.”So on June 14, 2024, I had a near-heart attack and suffered a blood clot on base. And there’s two MP’s who showed up and essentially saved my life.”The emergency would have been fatal if not for those anonymous military police officers who stopped to see what was wrong. Capt. Smith was rushed to the…
Young adults in the Mountaineer State may soon be able to exercise their Second Amendment rights without the need for a government-issued permission slip. On Tuesday, the West Virginia Senate overwhelmingly approved SB 30, which repeals the state law requiring 18-to-20-year-olds to obtain a concealed carry permit before they can bear arms. The bill passed on a 33-1 vote. The legislation now goes to the House of Delegates, where members have been running a version of the same policy through committee.“With this bill, the Legislature is recognizing the 2nd Amendment right of all adult West…
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Highlights from a trove of more than 200 love letters that tell the story of a couple’s courtship and marriage during World War II are now on display digitally through the Nashville Public Library, offering an intimate picture of love during wartime.The letters by William Raymond Whittaker and Jane Dean were found in a Nashville home that had belonged to Jane and her siblings. They were donated in 2016 to the Metro Nashville Archives.Whittaker, who went by Ray, was from New Rochelle, New York. He moved to the Tennessee capital to attend the historically Black Meharry Medical…
This article was originally published by John W. Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead at The Rutherford Institute. “No doubt concentration camps were a means, a menace used to keep order.”—Albert Speer, Nuremberg Trials In 2021, amid a global pandemic, warnings that the federal government might repurpose warehouses into detention facilities on American soil were dismissed as speculative, alarmist, or even conspiratorial. Five years later, what was speculation is a blueprint for locking up whoever the government chooses to target. According to investigative reports, the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement are actively purchasing warehouses, factories, and industrial buildings across…
I genuinely hate anyone saying that mass shootings are “a uniquely American phenomenon.” That’s not remotely true. We’ve seen them all over the world. If you say we have a unique problem with them, I might agree, but they’re far from uniquely American. Bondi Beach should have dispelled that nonsense.It hasn’t, though, unfortunately.Neither will an unfortunate situation that took place in Canada on Tuesday.Ten people, including the suspected shooter, were killed after a woman opened fire at a high school in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, on Tuesday before apparently turning the gun on herself, police…
