The permit-to-purchase and magazine ban included in Oregon’s Measure 114 could still take effect if the state Supreme Court rules the gun control measures don’t violate the state’s constitution, but a Senate committee has gutted a bill that would have, among other things, more than doubled the fee for a permit and given county sheriffs up to two months to approve or deny an application. House Bill 4145, which advanced out of a House committee only after the bill’s sponsor berated a fellow Democrat who originally voted against it so badly that she switched her…
A GoFundMe set up for fallen U.S. soldier Declan Coady has raised more than $50,000, receiving hundreds of donations with messages of heartbreak and solidarity for the service member and his family.Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa, and three other U.S. military personnel were formally identified Tuesday as casualties stemming from the United States’ attacks on Iran that began early last Saturday and remain ongoing, in partnership with Israeli forces, leading to regional instability and countless questions about what spurred the initial onslaught and whether there is a proverbial “end game” to the conflict.Coady, who was posthumously promoted from…
Sedona’s red rock views are best seen from the driver’s seat. Whether you plan to drive your own off-highway vehicle (OHV) or a rental, there’s no denying that these Arizona trails are world-class. The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) wants to ensure they’re here to stay for generations to come. Chris Almendarez from Sedona ATV couldn’t agree more. From guiding drivers on-trail to cleaning up rental ATVS at the end of the day, he knows every aspect of the OHV world in-depth. His background in motocross and love of Sedona’s outdoor scene led him to managing experiences at the…
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was far closer to being vice president than anyone should ever be comfortable with. While vice presidents are often the butt of jokes, the fact that the guy always has an expression where it looks like he just got caught having familial relations with the neighbor’s dog is probably the least annoying thing about the man. And that’s saying something.He’s another example of a politician who played at being pro-gun while it was convenient, then went anti-gun when he ran for statewide office. Since becoming governor, he’s pushed for a lot…
Fresh off the energy of Team USA’s hockey gold and staring down a 20-inch snow forecast, I finally sat down to write about a tool that’s earned its keep over the last month: the Kizer Rook. I’m a big fan of the Nessmuk knife style; the fat belly on a drop-point blade sets the tone for opportunity. Whether you’re hunting, gathering, or just completing a few random tasks, the Nessmuk exudes “old reliable.” Knifemaker Vincent Rizzo nailed the materials of the Rook — AEB-L steel and Micarta were great choices for a knife of this ilk. However, the real stars are…
After Monday’s oral arguments in U.S. v. Hemani, the consensus seems to be that the Court will rule in favor of Ali Danial Hemani and against the government’s position that “habitual” marijuana users can be prohibited from possessing firearms under Section 922(g)(3), which bars “unlawful” drug users from gun ownership. That’s the same law, you might recall, that was used to convict Hunter Biden for possessing a firearm while he was actively using and abusing crack cocaine. Biden was also convicted of lying about his drug use on the Form 4473 he filled out when…
I’m more than a little bothered by this trend of prosecuting parents for the actions of their children. Anyone who has raised children is well aware that no matter what you do, they’re going to do their own thing as they get older. The best you can do is hope you’ve given them the tools to make better choices than you probably made at that age. Prosecuting the parents because that didn’t happen, often despite their best efforts, is troubling.Then there’s this jackwagon, who might be one of the few examples who deserves it.The jury…

New Mexico gun owners recently dodged a big bullet when the legislative session adjourned before gun-ban advocates could gain approval for a sweeping ban on so-called “assault weapons” and “high-capacity magazines.” The failure of Senate Bill 17 was cheered by pro-gun advocates and jeered by gun-ban supporters. As background, SB 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 had passed the state Senate by a 21-17 vote, with all Republican senators and three…
The Amish first arrived in the United States in the mid 1700’s. Of course it was still a British colony at the time but since that time the Amish population in the U.S. has grown to almost 300,000. They live in communities across the country and are known for their firm commitment to a simpler, pioneer lifestyle.Contrary to some assumptions, the Amish do not shun all technology. They have been known to use diesel powered generators, propane powered refrigerators and freezers, and commonly use solar, wind and water power. The only issues they have with technology are when it is…
I’ve heard some refer to Tennessee as the Texas of the South. No, Texas may have fought with the Confederacy, but it’s not part of the South. Anyway, the reason for this is because it’s a very pro-gun state, which is impressive considering the number of sizeable urban communities within the state. Chattanooga, Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Clarkesville, and Murfreesboro all have populations over 140,000 people, yet the state is still pretty reliably pro-gun. It’s strange. So a pro-gun bill being introduced in the state House isn’t unusual. It’s good news, of course, but not odd.However, one…
The ethics of Leave No Trace (LNT) are core to backpacking. You should leave the wilderness in as pristine a condition as you found it, taking all trash with you. On a backpacking trip in New Zealand, as I stuffed a large Ziploc bag full of granola bar wrappers and empty freeze-dried meal pouches, I looked out at the ocean and felt conflicted. Yes, I was practicing LNT so my trash wouldn’t end up in the wild, but it would still end up somewhere. I was being a good steward of this land, but not of all land. If I…
We’ve been closely watching and reporting on several punitive gun-control proposals in the Minnesota legislature, including several from Gov. Tim Walz. Of course, the worst of them was a proposal that would have banned many semi-automatic firearms in common use by lawful Minnesotans and another that would have banned the normal-capacity magazines that those common firearms use. Following committee votes on February 24 and 25, however, many of the measures have stalled in committee. And there’s a better-than-even chance that they won’t receive further consideration this session. Among those stalled was HF 3433, which would have banned commonly owned gas-operated…
