Gun owners and Second Amendment advocates are blessed to have a lot of great events across the country focusing on our right to keep and bear arms. There’s the NRA Annual Meeting, of course, which is the grandaddy of them all, but we also have Gun Owners of America’s GOALS, GunCon, the Great American Outdoor Show, and the Gun Rights Policy Conference. Work and family obligations kept me away from the NRA’s meeting, GOA’s event, and GunCon this year, but I am really looking forward to being in Fort Worth, Texas in late September for…

Opening up a gun range in the San Francisco area is kinda like opening up a strip club in the heart of the Bible Belt. There may very well be a market, but there’s also going to be a lot of local opposition to the business. The “not in my backyard” crowd was out in force in Walnut Creek, California on Wednesday night as the city’s Design Review Commission held a public hearing on a plan by Elite Armory to convert a former carpet store into an indoor shooting range and gun shop. Though Elite…

According to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, the 7-day waiting period on gun sales that New Mexico Democrats put in place violates the Second Amendment’s protections on the right to keep and bear arms. What about Colorado’s three-day waiting period? That’s subject to an entirely different legal challenge, and oral arguments are coming up in district court next week. National Association for Gun Rights’ Hannah Hill highlighted a somewhat unusual agenda for the arguments laid out by U.S. District Judge John L. Kane that suggests he already knows what he wants to decide, but…

The single largest domino effect of disasters and emergencies is a power outage.

Zombies are often considered a worst-case scenario, and we even planned for undead outbreaks in the military. While prepping for zombies isn’t exactly practical, it can be motivating and a means to an end with general preparedness. Plus, people can prepare however they want for whatever they want.I’ve found zombies intriguing for a long time. The popularity of zombies has exploded over the past 15 years, with video games, movies, and long-running TV shows filling out the niche. Even before that, I helped develop military plans for zombie outbreaks, remembering that there is a difference between ‘impossible’ and ‘improbable’.In this…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Prince Harry urged communities to better apply service members’ skills when they return to the workforce during an intimate gathering with U.S. veterans Wednesday night. “The world needs more heroes,” he told the roundtable. “And it’s not about creating more heroes because they already live among us. It’s about being able to really value their expertise, their experiences.” The Duke of Sussex, who served 10 years in the British Army, hinted that he’d soon launch a “commercial” solution that “really values those who served rather than expect them to volunteer.” He held the discussion with veterans, defense…
