Hearing is important. While people have learned to adapt to life without it, they’ve also learned to adapt to living without being able to move any of their limbs. That doesn’t mean mobility is irrelevant. Yet, despite there being a century-old device that can protect that hearing, a group of doctors in California would much rather their patients go deaf than own a suppressor. I honestly wish I was making this up, but I’m not.The California Medical Association would rather support gun control than, you know, actual health.Suppressors remain prohibited in Hawaii, Illinois, New York,…
German U-boats operated along the American East Coast in the first half of 1942 with something close to impunity. Merchant ships loaded with fuel and supplies bound for the war in Europe were being torpedoed within sight of beachgoers in New Jersey and the Carolinas. The Navy, still ramping up for a two-ocean war, didn’t have anywhere near enough destroyers, patrol craft or aircraft to cover the entire coastline. Into that gap sailed some of the least likely combatants of the Second World War: weekend yachtsmen, Boston lawyers, Boy Scouts and, according to more than one account, a handful of…
While most knife makers set out to make reliable products, there’s a handful who want to make something with an everlasting touch of WOW. In 1996, Bill McHenry and Jason Williams filed a patent for something called a “crossbar lock.” In 1999, it debuted through Benchmade Knives as the Axis lock. Thirty years later, every knife manufacturer making folding knives on planet Earth uses some iteration of it. Earlier this summer, Schwarz Knives announced its first folding knife, the Enduro. As appealing as the knife looked, the materials used, being handmade, and Schwarz’s new take on the crossbar lock really…
After several years of the Army and Navy publicly missing their recruiting targets by thousands of people, the Defense Department’s five military branches had hit or exceeded their fiscal year 2026 recruiting goal as of July, months ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline. It’s a genuine turnaround — one the current administration has been quick to credit to leadership and a resurgence of patriotism. The full picture is more complicated, and part of what’s driving record enlistment numbers is something less flattering: a civilian job market that isn’t offering young Americans as many good options as it used to. The…
While I’ve been a knife nut for as long as I can remember, I’ve also been engaged in a long-term dalliance with packs and bags. I began carrying a backpack daily in college and haven’t looked back since. There’s something energizing about the idea that you could just grab your bag and hit the road at the drop of a hat. Over the years, I’ve run through countless packs, sling bags, messenger bags, and more, all in an effort to find The One. Many of them, I ditched fairly quickly, due to bad ergonomics, faulty zippers, or just plain dislike.…
Perhaps the scariest two words in the English language are “do something.” In the aftermath of anything horrific, the natural tendency of many people is to demand that the government “do something,” ostensibly so the thing never happens again. The problem is that all too often, the something that they do has absolutely no chance of actually preventing another horror, but it can have longer-lasting repercussions, such as the actions by the Thai Prime Minister following last week’s school shooting. Cam mentioned last week that the PM, as Interior Minister, had previously cracked down on…
Less than a month after West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey started investigating several companies for allegedly discriminating against an in-state ammunition manufacturer, the AG says he’s received pledges from the firms that they will treat lawful firearm commerce the same as any other industry. As we reported in mid-July, Kent Cartridge Company said it was denied services by two payment processing firms because of the products it makes. McCuskey started investigating Bill.com and Ramp after representatives told KCC that they couldn’t use their services “due to compliance and underwriting restrictions,” and “due to restrictions from…
A former U.S. Marine whose family said just days ago that he was near death in a Russian hospital has been freed after more than four years in custody and is on his way to a military hospital in Texas. Robert Gilman, 32, was released after Russian President Vladimir Putin approved a pardon on humanitarian grounds, U.S. officials told Reuters. He was being flown out of Russia on a State Department plane, and officials said he was walking and talking, a marked change from the condition his advocates had described only a week earlier. His family said he had been…
Michigan’s Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate isn’t making gun control a big part of his campaign, but Abdul El-Sayed has some pretty strong feelings about our right to keep and bear arms. As CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski reports, El-Sayed has taken down dozens of videos he posted on YouTube over the last few years because his comments won’t play well with Michigan voters. In an April 2023 video, for instance, El-Sayed took aim at the Second Amendment. Though the video has since been made private, a transcript is still available.Folks who believe in “gun rights,” they…
A military base in South Carolina has been renamed after the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. Joint Base Charleston, which houses the 628th Air Base Wing, will now be known as Joint Base Lindsey Graham to honor the Republican who died in June, according to an announcement made during a ceremony on Monday. Sen. Darline Graham, Graham’s sister who has been appointed to serve the remainder of his term, unveiled a sign for the base alongside Hegseth, Republican South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Graham, 71, known in part for his hawkish views on foreign policy, died…

One of the big goals at the federal level is national constitutional carry. It’s an unlikely scenario here and now, but the truth is that we’ve probably never been closer to achieving it, and while it’s a tough sell in Washington right now, the Overton Window shifts both ways. What’s a tough sell today could be tomorrow’s no-brainer. But, for that to happen, we need legislators who are committed to making that a reality.Enter one guntuber turned political candidate. Again.Yes, I’m talking about Brandon Herrera.As he builds out his upstart congressional campaign, Brandon Herrera says…
A new military patch has been approved for U.S. Army soldiers with elite jungle warfare expertise. It’s named the Jungle Tab, an official skill tab of the Army that represents a formal recognition of jungle warfare as a definitive skill across the entire military division. “Tactics and training techniques required to fight, survive and win within the harsh jungle environment are deserving of recognition,” Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Plans, and Training, Sgt. Maj. Christopher Kohunsky, said in a statement. The Army has authorized the gold and black tab that simply reads “Jungle” for any current active, Reserve,…

President Donald Trump secretly flew out of last month’s NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, on an alternate military aircraft while the White House made it appear that the Republican president was flying on Air Force One, according to a report published by The Washington Post on Monday. The Post said the operation was prompted by an Iranian assassination threat against Trump. The ruse was carried out as journalists and some White House staff members were led to believe they were on the same plane as the president as he began his journey back to Washington from the annual gathering of…
