Most of the time when you see the word “allegedly” applied to someone accused of criminal action, it’s not because no one believes he or she did it. It’s because if the publication doesn’t, and they’re acquitted, they can sue for defamation because the publication implied guilt before it was established. Once convicted, or if the suspect is deceased, that doesn’t matter anymore. A conviction is proof enough that any inaccurate claims as to guilt were made in good faith, and dead people don’t have reputations to protect anymore in the eyes of the law.So,…
I admit it. I’m incurable. I like 1911s. There, I said it. I really like .45ACP 1911s, and the 9mm double-stacks are growing on me, but the old slabsides started this love affair. It started with me in the late 1970s when I acquired my first 1911. That was before there was such a plethora of makes and models on the market. I own, or have owned, several 1911s and enjoy shooting them. With its modern iteration the 2011, I enjoy shooting them even more. Just today I shot this Savage, and also a 9mm MAC 9 2011. Both were…

Over the last couple of seasons, I’ve found myself spending more time with conventional fishing setups and bass boats and less time wearing waders and throwing flies. My job, proximity to good streams, and other factors have all played a part. But it hit me how badly I miss the serenity of fly fishing and the escape it provides from the daily grind. When the opportunity came to test Abel’s new TR fly reel, I jumped at the offer. It offered a reason to prioritize time on the water and, more importantly, motivate me to prioritize fly fishing again. I’ve…
With the popularity of the 3D printer, any ability gun control had of working went out the window. Sure, it was never going to work in the first place, but there were some theoretical possibilities where it might. If people can use a product they got off of Amazon to just make one, though, that ship has set sail. It’s never going to happen.However, the anti-gunners can’t recognize that they’ve been beaten, not in the political arena, but by technology. If I can make my own gun in my living room, stopping me from buying…
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has stopped work on a nationwide gray wolf recovery plan that it instituted just last year. The agency says the two wolf groups that remain listed under the Endangered Species Act no longer require a federal recovery roadmap. USFWS released an exception finding that removes the requirement for a federal recovery plan for the “44-State entity” and the “Minnesota entity.” The agency’s full rationale appears in the official FWS exception findings report. The agency said current data show both groups have reached a point where a recovery plan would not improve their conservation…
A group of six Democratic lawmakers with military or national security backgrounds released a video in November 2025 urging U.S. service members and intelligence personnel to refuse unlawful orders. Participants included Senator Elissa Slotkin, Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Jason Crow, Representative Chris Deluzio, Representative Maggie Goodlander, and Representative Chrissy Houlahan. Their message emphasized that the oath is to the Constitution, not to any leader, and warned that threats to constitutional order can arise “from within.” The lawmakers said troops “can and must refuse illegal orders,” a claim that is technically correct under military law. They framed the message as a…

Shoe company R.A.D (Rally Against Destruction) is breaking into the fitness apparel market with shirts, tights, and shorts. Standing out in an already crowded market isn’t easy, but R.A.D has already done so with its excellent ONE V1 and ONE V2 training shoes (check out my review of the R.A.D ONE V2 training shoe), and it looks like the company’s Superweave Training Short ($68) is poised to do the same. Gym shorts aren’t complicated. If they’re comfortable, stretchy enough to move with you, and fairly durable, they’ll work in a gym. So, when it comes to a piece of apparel…

The often criticized Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has operated under an acting director since February. Now, President Donald Trump is seeking to put an end to that situation. On November 19, the president nominated ATF Deputy Director Robert Cekada to be dire tor of the agency.

According to an online biography, Cekada served previously as a special agent-in-charge of the Miami and Baltimore Field Divisions. Prior to that he was the Assistant Special Agent in Charge in…
Virginia Democrats are still keeping the details of their forthcoming gun and magazine bans under wraps, but two gun-related measures have now officially been introduced in the state Senate, and a key Democrat lawmaker is hinting at another on the horizon. SB 27 is aimed at the firearms industry, with the intent to make it easier to sue gun makers and sellers for the third-party actions of criminals. The bill would create “standards of responsible conduct for firearm industry members and requires such members to establish and implement reasonable controls regarding the manufacture, sale, distribution,…

This article was originally published by Hunter Smathers at The Mises Institute. Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) is a term that describes short-term financing of items, typically with no interest (at least if you make your payments on time). In today’s culture, there is a huge rise in consumer debt, as people are given the ability to buy things they cannot afford. In 2022, credit card companies charged borrowers over $105 billion in interest and $25 billion in fees. Data from 2022 also revealed that those who did not make payments on time and had a revolving balance paid more interest and fees than…
The Protection of Lawful Commerce of Arms Act was created to prevent frivolous lawsuits against the firearm industry, predicated on the actions of third parties. In other words, if your gun blows up because of a manufacturing flaw, you can sue. If some twerp with a stolen gun shot you in the leg, you can sue, just not the manufacturer of the firearm used. When an insurance company settled with the families of Sandy Hook victims, it opened a floodgate. States suddenly thought they had a chance to get around the PLCAA by attacking gun…
