A New York man named David Streever sent a critical email to the then-head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), leading to purported intimidation tactics that have now resulted in a new federal lawsuit. Roughly five months later and after returning from an overseas vacation with his 5-year-old daughter, the Rochester man found out that ICE agents were staking out his New York City hotel. It prompted a federal lawsuit filed July 6 by the nonprofit free speech organization Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) in the District of Columbia on First Amendment grounds, claiming that ICE and…

Most prepper gets supplies at places like Walmart, Costco, dollar stores, flea markets, or Amazon, but there’s another store that has lots of great survival items: Tractor Supply Co. It is quietly one of the best-stocked and most affordable sources for survival gear you’ll find anywhere, and the fact that most preppers overlook it means the shelves are usually full and the prices are decent. The store was built to serve farmers, ranchers, and rural homeowners, which means its inventory skews heavily toward durable tools, outdoor equipment, and practical supplies, which are exactly the kinds of things preppers should be…
Women for Gun Rights may be one of the smaller 2A organizations in terms of membership, but they punch well above their weight when it comes to grassroots activism and passion for protecting our right to keep and bear arms. Kate Giddins, who is the group’s Northeast Regional Director and the former New Hampshire State Director of Women for Gun Rights, wasn’t brought up in the land of the free. As she writes in a powerful new op-ed, she grew up in Australia and thought she knew what freedom was all about, but was disabused…
The Chiappa Rhino 60 DS 10mm looks like a sci-fi prop, fires from the bottom chamber, and somehow makes full-power 10mm Auto feel far more civilized than it should. I ran it with defensive, hunting, and range ammo to see if the weird design is real engineering or just revolver theater. The Chiappa Rhino, pronounced “key-apa,” is a revolver with a twist: it fires out of the bottom chamber of the cylinder. This Rhino 60 DS fires the powerful 10mm cartridge, yet its design keeps recoil manageable. The Chiappa Rhino 60 DS Brings Bottom-Chamber Weirdness to 10mm The Chiappa Rhino…
I’m guilty. There are a lot of times that I simply dismiss a gun control push and say that there’s no way that particular state is going to embrace that particular proposal. The implication is that it can never happen, and that’s definitely not something I should be implying. No state remains in stasis forever. There are ebbs and flows, and when big money weighs in, nothing is guaranteed. And let’s understand that when you’ve got someone like George Soros ready to throw money, and a complicit media that’s all about keeping big money out…

Five shots, one old-school cylinder, and 30+ years of carry experience make the CCW revolver harder to dismiss than the high-capacity crowd wants to admit. The J-Frame is not for everyone, but in the right role, this little wheel gun still has teeth. Today, when wonder nines with magazine capacity in the high teens, is the wheel gun still relevant? Is 5 or 6 shots enough for the everyday person? If we take a look, for an armed citizen, a revolver just might be the ticket in certain circumstances. The Wheel Gun Question: Is Five Shots Still Enough? OK, I…
Most people who spend more than two decades climbing mountains eventually decide to stop climbing. Tom Taylor tried. It did not take. “I thought I was going to retire right up into the sunset,” Taylor told me. Then the phone rang about Colt CZ, and the man whose fingerprints are on some of the biggest brand comebacks in the American firearms industry did the math on two more legacy names and could not say no. The Fixer In Person I sat down with Taylor, now Chief Commercial Officer at Colt CZ, to talk about the thread that runs through his…
The FN Reflex combines a surprisingly good trigger, .85-inch best-group accuracy, and flawless reliability in a palm-sized carry gun. This little 9mm ran clean, dirty, and gritty without giving us the first problem. FN Reflex Review: Can This Micro 9mm Still Deliver? FN is no stranger to polymer pistols, but the US-made Reflex 9mm micro-compact models bring that experience to the micro-carry gun market. This FN Reflex review focuses on the iron-sighted version, but there is also an RDS-ready option, the MRD model. Let’s revisit the FN Reflex Micro Compact, which we originally reviewed back in early 2023. Many of…
On Friday, federal agents delivered grand jury subpoenas to four New York Times journalists, arriving in some cases at their homes, days after the paper reported the Secret Service had urged President Donald Trump to leave Turkey aboard an older jet rather than his new Qatari-gifted Air Force One. The subpoenas order Julian E. Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager, and Eric Schmitt to testify Wednesday before a federal grand jury in Manhattan “in regard to an alleged violation of criminal law,” according to the Times, which says it will fight the order. David McCraw, the paper’s newsroom lawyer, said the…

Pearl Harbor dropped a half-crewed destroyer into bloody chaos, and a young Ensign with just eight months of active-duty experience answered by taking command, getting USS Aylwin into the fight, and driving her out to sea. Stanley Caplan was no comic-book superhero. He was something rarer, a very young American officer who performed magnificently when the world caught fire. Second Lieutenants, Naval Captains, and the Strange Math of Rank Serving on active duty as a Second Lieutenant is a fairly surreal enterprise. Nobody who matters takes you seriously. Military service is rightfully driven by experience, and Second Lieutenants just don’t…

As it stands, we’re probably going to be waiting a bit before we see details about 2025’s “gun crime” statistics. It always takes a bit of time to break those down, though, so that’s not unusual. On Thursday, Cam took a look at 2024’s numbers as they applied to Florida, which had just achieved real permitless carry. Now, I’m going to look at them at a more national level, because Florida’s numbers don’t really matter if you don’t live in Florida, except in an academic sense. The rest of us live in other parts of…
