As my colleague Tom Knighton mentioned in a previous post, the New Hampshire Senate debated a campus carry bill today. HB 1793 was actually approved by the chamber, but not before it was amended and considerably weakened. In fact, as adopted the legislation won’t allow any student or visitor to carry on a higher ed campus, even after it takes effect. lnstead, the Senate voted to create a committee to “study the feasibility of allowing guns on campuses of public institutions of higher education,” while also adopting language that “notwithstanding any provision of law to…
Ruger is officially done calling Connecticut home. According to reporting from Hartford Business Journal, Sturm, Ruger & Co. quietly moved its corporate headquarters from Connecticut to Mayodan, North Carolina at the start of 2026, marking the end of an era for one of America’s most recognizable gunmakers. The move apparently flew under the radar for months. Ruger didn’t make a huge public announcement about it, but sharp-eyed industry watchers noticed recent company press releases started carrying a North Carolina dateline instead of Connecticut. That was the clue. A company spokesperson confirmed the relocation became official on Jan. 1. Ruger still…
HALIFAX, N.C. (AP) — With 165 grains of black powder in the barrel, a .75-caliber Brown Bess flintlock musket like the ones the redcoats carried in 1776 can hurl a lead ball at a velocity of around 1,000 feet (305 meters) per second. Imagine what that can do to a human body. Now, imagine that it’s almost completely exempt from gun regulations. How can that be? Well, under federal and most state laws, many antique or replica guns aren’t technically considered firearms. In most places, even convicted felons can own them. “I suspect the average judge would be surprised to…
A constitutional carry bill that would eliminate Pennsylvania’s concealed firearm permit requirement cleared the state Senate Judiciary Committee on May 6, advancing to the full Senate as supporters press for a floor vote. Senate Bill 357 would allow lawful Pennsylvania gun owners to carry a concealed firearm without obtaining a License to Carry Firearms (LTCF) or paying the associated fee. The bill keeps the LTCF available as an optional license for residents who want reciprocity when traveling to states that require a permit. It does not change who is legally prohibited from possessing firearms under existing state and federal law.…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. A Betrayal of the Social Contract The news broke this week like a punch in the gut: nearly 50,000 residents in the Lake Tahoe area have been told their utility will stop providing power after next ski season. Fortune reports that these people are now scrambling to find a future energy source, while the data centers powering the AI boom get first dibs on the grid [1]. This is not a technical glitch. It is a deliberate choice to serve machines over human beings. Let that sink in. Almost fifty…
Chilean brand Rokum could have entered the U.S. market with a small line of sleeping bags and sleeping pads. Instead, it went with a rarer approach: combine them together. The Umak — part sleeping bag, part sleeping pad, and part couch — launched on Kickstarter last week. This three-season kit may provide enough use cases to entice summer campers looking for a flexible sleeping system — if not quite those seeking backcountry adventures. The bag’s bulkiness and weight make it an unlikely contender for long-distance backpacking. At $100, it’s a wild but affordable sleep kit. We don’t yet know how…
Two public-access groups filed a lawsuit in Montana this week over corner crossing, one day after Lt. Gov. Kristen Juras told state lawmakers that the practice remains unlawful under Montana property and trespass law. On May 14, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers (BHA) and the Public Land & Water Access Association (PLWA) filed suit in Lewis and Clark County District Court. The groups want a court to clarify whether people can legally step from one public parcel to another at a shared corner without touching private land. BHA said the lawsuit seeks to secure access to roughly 871,000 acres of public…
Daniel Defense is one of the better-known manufacturers of AR-15s. They sell really good quality rifles, and they stand with the Second Amendment, which is kind of essential for their business to succeed. Having chatted with a few of the guys who work there in the past, it’s a company made up of good people who simply want to provide a much-needed product to the American people so we can defend ourselves and our way of life, if need be. But then, on the flip side, we have the Good Men Project, which thinks that…
DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision last year to abruptly dissolve the U.S. Agency for International Development — once a leading global aid donor — has been followed by a significant increase in violence in several African countries that the agency had supported, according to a study published on Thursday. While the authors did not blame the USAID cuts for the increase in violence, they said the findings demonstrate that “large-scale, sudden aid cuts can destabilize fragile settings.” They, however, added that this is not evidence that more aid reduces conflict, instead it only shows “the effect…

There’s a conversation that happens more and more often on the range, usually right after someone tries to squeeze their newly suppressed rifle into a gun case that no longer fits. It goes something like this: “I love this thing. I just wish it wasn’t so long.” It’s a real problem. Screwing a traditional suppressor onto the muzzle of a rifle adds substantial length. A 24-inch hunting rifle barrel with a 6-inch suppressor attached is now effectively a 30-inch rifle, before you account for the stock. Try stuffing that into a typical case, maneuvering it through a brushy fence crossing,…
With all of the barriers that anti-gun jurisdictions put in the way of residents trying to exercise their constitutional rights, it’s nice to see some sheriffs out there going above and beyond to make sure that getting a concealed carry license is as easy as possible. Crawford County Sheriff Dave Powers is one of those licensing authorities. Yes, residents can make the drive to the county seat of Meadville and apply for their carry permit at the sheriff’s office, but Powers is also hitting the road with all the equipment needed to process applications and…
A measure in the Florida legislature that would allow college and university professors and staff who volunteer to carry concealed sidearms on campus has been overwhelmingly approved by the state House of Representatives. Earlier, the Florida Senate passed HB 757 by a 26-to-10 margin. And recently, the House approved the measure by a vote of 88 to 20. Florida law already stipulates that sheriffs assist district school boards and charter school governing boards in accessing guardian programs and in instituting them. The new bill extends that stipulation to include post-secondary institutions. “A sheriff must also assist public postsecondary educational institutions, as described…
When the United States was first created, it was with the idea that there would be no standing army. There was a concern among our Founding Fathers that a standing army was a tool of oppression, that the military would be used to crush dissent, and that liberty couldn’t be protected with such a force existing. I think we did a good job of addressing those concerns, though. There are problems that we should probably talk about at some point, of course, but it’s not with the men and women in uniform.What the Founding Fathers…
