New Jersey has never made it easy for law-abiding citizens to carry a firearm. Before the Bruen decision, it was downright impossible for most. It was one of those states that said you needed a good reason to get a permit, and as at least one reader informed me directly, “self-defense” wasn’t considered a good reason. They can’t do that now, but that doesn’t mean they’re making it much easier. What they do now is charge a lot of money for a permit, and that makes it difficult for many people to get one, especially…
A large luxury sedan, such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, often sits near the top of a premium brand’s lineup. These vehicles blend the latest technology and ultimate luxury into a complete package. However, with the rising demand for SUVs and the introduction of new luxury SUVs, the importance of the luxury sedan has diminished over the past few years. While other brands have removed flagship sedans from their product lineups, Volvo has taken a different approach to the segment. The brand-new Volvo ES90 is the company’s first fully electric luxury sedan, a bold statement by the Swedish carmaker to a…
Health officials in Brazil are currently monitoring two people for possible Ebola infections. One suspected patient, a 37-year-old man from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), who began exhibiting symptoms such as fever, São Paulo’s state government said. The other case is in Rio de Janeiro. These two cases are in Brazil’s two largest cities, sparking concern for the country. The test results for both patients should become available next week. If confirmed, they would be the first cases of infection outside Africa since the outbreak began in the DR Congo, according to a BBC report. There are…
When you think of Mammoth Lakes, Calif., you likely imagine the alpine grandeur of resort skiing and snowboarding. What often goes overlooked, however, is the surrounding landscape of forests, wilderness areas, and pristine alpine lakes. A wider lens opens up one of the most geologically dynamic landscapes in North America. Volcanic energy, tectonic forces, and glacial activity shaped (and, in some cases, continue to shape) this corner of the Eastern Sierra with features that inspire both awe and exploration. When Michael Washington and Sam Reese set off to uncover the story behind the geology of Mammoth Lakes, they targeted four…
The ATF has recently moved to end the “zero tolerance” policy put in place under Joe Biden and then-ATF Director Steve Dettelbach that treated even minor paperwork errors as “willful” violations of agency regulations worthy of license revocations. Under the policy, revocations grew more than 500%, from 30 in 2020 to 195 in 2024. Additionally, more than 1,400 FFLs decided to “voluntarily” surrender their licenses or close their doors in 2024, in some cases after ATF indicated it would pursue revocations. Biden and his supporters in the gun control lobby claimed that these were “bad…
Marines and additional National Guard troops were headed to Los Angeles this week on President Donald Trump’s orders in response to protests over immigration raids. The authorization came amid mostly peaceful protests in the city on Monday. California officials sued Trump on Monday to roll back the administration’s National Guard deployment, saying the president trampled over the state’s sovereignty. Local officials and Gov. Gavin Newsom don’t want the military presence and the police chief has said it creates logistical challenges for safely handling protests.

For a place that’s supposedly “gun-free”, police sure do discover a lot of guns being carried in the Chicago Transit Authority system. A federal judge in Chicago recently accepted a plea deal offered by prosecutors to a 10-time felon who was caught with a gun on a Blue Line train last July, and despite Gerald Pittman’s lengthy criminal history he walked away with a sentence that’s less than 1/3rd the maximum penalty. Pittman was supposed to be under court supervision after a previous guilty plea involving drug trafficking, but he had stopped complying with the…
A Russian drone struck a residential apartment building in eastern Romania near the Ukrainian border, injuring two civilians and intensifying concerns that Moscow’s war against Ukraine is increasingly spilling into NATO territory. The drone entered Romanian airspace on May 29 during a large-scale Russian attack against targets in neighboring Ukraine before crashing into a residential building in the city of Galați. Two civilians were injured and a fire broke out after the impact, according to Romanian officials and multiple international news reports.

The Primary Arms SLx 3x prism sight has lived on my AR-15 for more than three years, through two thousand rounds, rain, concrete, safe bumps, and plenty of regular use.

Primary Arms SLx 3x Review: The Prism Sight That Refused To Quit Primary Arms introduced their SLx prism sight in 2021 as an alternative to their popular red dot optics. A prism sight with an etched reticle works with or without battery power and is…
The Tokarev TT 12 Pro is an AR-style 12-gauge shotgun that showed up cheap, ran clean, and refused to choke on low-velocity shells, buckshot, or slugs. For about $365, this box-magazine-fed semi-auto came to fight. AR Muscle Memory Meets a 12 Gauge That Actually Makes Sense All of that muscle memory developed running AR15 rifles isn’t lost on the Tokarev TT 12 Pro shotgun. Operating the Tokarev is intuitive because the controls, the magazine release, bolt release, and safety selector, all have that AR15 feel to them, plus the controls are ambidextrous. Designing a shotgun that runs like an AR15…

The plain SIG P365 still earns its place as a daily carry pistol because it balances concealability, capacity, shootability, and trust better than almost anything in the micro-compact 9mm world. I carry a gun every single day. As a prosecuting attorney, that is not a hobby statement; it is a habit built on the understanding that the people I deal with do not always go quietly back into the world. So when I tell you what rides on my hip most mornings, it is not the product of a magazine review or a YouTube hype cycle. It is the result…
In the wake of the Bruen decision, in which the Supreme Court blessed “shall issue” license to carry regimes, several blue states have adopted laws requiring a permit to simply purchase and possess a firearm. Delaware is one of them, and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals is currently considering a legal challenge to the requirement after U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika denied a request by the plaintiffs for expedited injunctive relief. This week the attorneys general of New Jersey, D.C., California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia,…
Billy Idol survived fame, heroin, hotel carnage, and one of the strangest tranquilizer gun legends in rock history. This is where punk rock excess crashes headfirst into dart gun science. Billy Idol Before the Tranquilizer Gun Legend Billy Idol was the archetypal British punk rock star. Born William Michael Albert Broad in Stanmore, England, back in 1955, his mother was from Cork in Ireland, while his dad hailed from working-class stock in Birmingham. Young William Broad spent part of his childhood in the US and the rest in England. He attended the Worthing High School for Boys in Goring-by-Sea. As…
Infitac’s Fast Mini FML19 brings a sharper 384×288 sensor and a 19mm F1.2 lens to the same tiny footprint. We ran it on pistol and as an offset rifle thermal to see where the extra clarity actually matters. Infitac FML19 First Look The Infitac Fast Mini FML19 is essentially the next step in the Fast Mini lineup, building directly off the original FMP13 that launched in mid-2025. At first glance, it looks and feels nearly identical, and in practice, it mostly is. The big changes come down to the sensor and lens. The FML19 upgrades to a 384×288 resolution sensor…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. What good is a ceasefire extension if nobody is upholding the terms of the current ceasefire? Honestly, can someone please explain that to me? There have been military clashes between the United States and Iran three times already this week. Meanwhile, fighting between Israel and Hezbollah is even more intense than it was before the original ceasefire agreement with Iran was signed. So if the current ceasefire agreement has been unable to stop the fighting, why should we believe that a 60-day extension of that…

President Donald Trump will headline the opening ceremony for the Great American State Fair after several artists pulled out of the National Mall event. Freedom 250, the organization behind the 16-day celebration tied to America’s 250th birthday, told ABC News on Saturday that Trump will personally kick off the event June 24 in Washington, D.C., after numerous artists including Martina McBride and Bret Michaels said they were misled about its political ties. The announcement came after Trump said on social media that he would hold a rally “to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate ‘Artists.'” The fair…
