As the tech industry continues to blossom in Central Ohio, the demand for skilled workers is expected to rise in the coming years. Military veterans Brian Parks and Bill Pencil are preparing the next generation to meet that moment. Parks and Pencil use the lessons they learned in the military: teamwork, discipline, leadership and technical skills, to instruct high school students at Tolles Career and Technical Center in Plain City, Ohio. Trades schools and technical colleges are looking for veterans with real-world knowledge to fill instructional needs, and Parks and Pencil fit the bill. It’s certainly not a traditional classroom, but the…

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed suit against Gatalog Foundation, CTRLPew, and several individual 2A activists for “unlawfully distributing computer code for 3D printing firearms and prohibited firearm accessories and for promoting and facilitating the unlawful manufacture of 3D printed firearms and firearm accessories” under California laws that prohibit the distribution of computer code for printing gun parts to those without a license and “knowingly, willfully, or recklessly aid, abet, promote, or facilitate the ‘unlawful manufacture of firearms,’ which includes the manufacture of a firearm using a 3D printer by an unlicensed person.” From…
During the past two years, I’ve spent a great deal of time training with carry optics. It’s a fascinating field, and one I admittedly came to a bit late. While some shooters take an immersion class and emerge proficient, I took the long route. I bought a quality .22 pistol, set it up with a carry-style optic, and practiced consistently for months. The results were gratifying. I now have a dedicated practice handgun that uses a sighting system similar to my carry guns, and that similarity may be more important than matching grip frame or trigger characteristics. As a bonus,…
One of America’s most storied outdoor brands could soon lose most of its brick-and-mortar stores. Eddie Bauer, an international outfitter created in Seattle by its eponymous founder in 1920, will soon file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to reports from Business Insider and credit intelligence agency Octus. Parent company Catalyst Brands owns the licensing rights to distribute Eddie Bauer’s products and is preparing to file for the brand’s bankruptcy in February. The upcoming bankruptcy filing, which Octus cited from “industry sources,” could spell the closure of many of Eddie Bauer’s 180 remaining stores in the U.S. and Canada. That news…
Lindsey Vonn successfully completed her Olympic training run on Friday, Feb. 6, securing her place in the Women’s Olympic Downhill Race on Sunday. The news comes less than a week after the 41-year-old world champion ski racer crashed at an event in Switzerland, tearing her left ACL and sustaining meniscus damage and a bruised bone. Despite the setback, Vonn remains determined to compete at Milano–Cortina — likely her final Olympic Games. It’s the latest in news in a career defined by setbacks and comebacks. But this feels different, given it’s the same injury that shuts down most pro athletes for an…
Connecticut residents looking to buy a handgun for self-defense (or other lawful purposes) may soon find their options limited, thanks to a bill introduced by Gov. Ned Lamont on Thursday. Governor’s Bill 5043 looks to prohibit the manufacture and sale of “convertible pistols.” Much like the California law that has widely been drescribed as a Glock ban, Lamont’s legislation defines a “convertible pistol” as “any semiautomatic pistol with a cruciform trigger bar that can be readily converted by hand or with a common household tool into a machine gun solely by the installation or attachment…
We cover anti-gun state legislatures and the dozens of gun-control measures filed across the nation to the point that it is easy to forget there are just as many pro-gun states as there are anti-gun. A good reminder of that fact is Missouri, where Republicans in the Show Me State legislature are pushing a number of measures to ease unconstitutional restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms. One such measure, HB 2176, which was heard in committee on January 25, would prevent state from ever enforcing a so-called “red-flag” law, even though no such law currently exist in…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. Has anyone ever been more connected than Jeffrey Epstein? That is a serious question. Personally, I have never heard of anyone who has spent more time socializing with the rich and famous than Epstein. We are told that he was some sort of financier, but in reality, he seemed to spend almost all of his time hanging out with his elitist friends. Prior to being convicted, Jeffrey Epstein was a pillar of the New York social scene. Everyone wanted to know him, and that included…
We’ve talked a lot about Jeanine Pirro and her, at best, ill-advised comments regarding arresting people who come into DC with guns. Yes, she walked it back, but while I don’t think she’s going to get fired for anything, she also didn’t really make anyone feel better with her walkback comments. For this to come in the immediate aftermath of the Trump administration’s comments about Alex Pretti carrying a firearm and how it meant he was up to no good, well…let’s just say the timing could have been better, to say the least.As The Reload’s…
