There’s been a push lately to try and hold gun companies accountable not just for what they do, but for what third parties do. The hope among many anti-gunners is that they can leverage companies’ advertising, saying it encourages illegal behavior, and then try to hold them responsible for it. Among other things, of course.The truth is, though, that if all the gun control laws on the books work as advertised, it doesn’t really matter all that much what the ad copy says, right?Well, it’s likely to shift at least some marketing in the gun…

I stared into the bed of my pickup — loaded with two suitcases of clothes, essential outdoor gear, pet supplies, kitchen necessities, and a mountain bike — and saw a small open plot of real estate. I’d loaded up with everything I absolutely needed for a cross-country move and had room for one small luxury. Ordinarily, a background yard fire pit would be out of the question. In fact, it would be the first thing on the gear chopping block. But I sized up the PACKFIRE carrying case — a hard-sided backpack the size of a standard carry-on — and dropped it squarely into…

Private property owners generally have the right to prohibit firearms on the premises if they so choose, but that right could soon be curtailed in Tennessee, at least when it comes to landlords.  According to a recent report by Rental Housing Journal, only four states have laws on the books that regulate what landlords may or may not do when it comes to tenants and guns. Of the four, the Journal says that Tennessee is the only one that outright allows landlords to ban the possession of firearms, even for lawful gun owners. HB 469 and SB…

Mercedes-Benz is about to launch the luxury van space in the U.S. Overlanding and camper vans, especially built on the 4×4 and AWD Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platforms, are nothing new. But it’s tough to call even the best-equipped Sprinter luxurious unless you’re comparing it to a tent. The new Mercedes-Benz VLE looks to fill that gap with an electric van. Van & Style Don’t Quite Work Together (Photo/Mercedes-Benz) This van won’t win many points for exterior style. It’s clearly meant to be a van through and through, with the very square shape that demands. Benz has tried to make it more…

“Gun control works.”That’s the underlying message of everything that groups like Everytown, Giffords, or Brady push for. If it doesn’t work, why should anyone do it? Do they believe it works? Who knows. What we know is that they claim it does, and they can show plenty of studies to say that they’re right. We’ve talked about those studies before, of course, and why they’re complete BS. However, they keep saying it does, and to push for it, they like to trot out a lot of stories that show the supposed horrors of so-called gun…

Christian nationalism has been on full display, culminating with the murder of Charlie Kirk last year. Religious freedom groups are now receiving complaints that the Christian Nationalist ruling class has told soldiers that the war with Iran is “all part of God’s divine plan.” JD Vance Doubles Down On Christian Nationalism Psyop Continues: Christian Nationalism on the Rise Freedom of religion and freedom from religion are both important if we expect to have a free society. People cannot and should not be expected to live under religious seclusion, especially if they aren’t harming anyone else. However, U.S. military commanders have been…

In Southern California, a legal fight is brewing between environmentalists, Native Americans, and mining interests — and it’s all happening on one of America’s newest public land areas, Chuckwalla National Monument. The outcome of this lawsuit will touch at the core of the federal government’s ability to designate and preserve public lands. What Is Chuckwalla National Monument? This 740,000-acre area comprises five distinct land parcels near Palm Springs and Riverside, Calif., bordering Joshua Tree National Park. Located at the intersection of the Mojave and Sonoran deserts, this mountainous region is home to many rare and endangered species, including the desert…

Want to carry a firearm in as many states as possible? As one firearms instructor is warning, be prepared to travel and shell out some money. Since the 2022 landmark NYSRPA v. Bruen decision, every jurisdiction in the United States was forced to issue carry permits or licenses on a “shall-issue” basis. Essentially the Supreme Court said: “The peasants shall be allowed to have their pitchforks.” But what does it take to have your pitchfork in every state of the Union? Depending on where you live is going to depend on how far you can get. Firearms instructor and YouTuber…

Field watches are the functional workhorses of the horology world. But they tend to be, well, drab. The Benrus #3061 BOR flips that script with one of the most eye-catching designs of any field watch I’ve tested. If stealth is your aim, just move on from this sparkling gem. But if you love the modest scale of a 39.5mm case, 24-hour timekeeping, and field watch simplicity in an absolutely beautiful Swiss-made package under $2,000, the Benrus #3061 is an unexpected choice that brings a lot of history to the wrist. In short: The Benrus #3061 BOR ($1,995) brings more than…

If you wanted to ship a gun somewhere, you had to send it through a private carrier. The United States Postal Service was off the menu, and that was just the way the law worked. Only, those private carriers wouldn’t let regular folks ship guns through them, which left the postal service, and since that was off the table, your options of shipping a firearm lawfully were nil, which sure feels like a violation of the Second Amendment. And, in time, the Department of Justice agreed and opted to stop defending the law in a…

Sometimes freedom rears its lovely head in unexpected places. A three-judge panel of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals has ruled the District’s restrictive law limiting the capacity of firearms magazines is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. The law outlawed any magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, which takes in the vast majority of magazines that come standard with many of the nation’s most popular firearms. Writing for the majority in Benson v. U.S., Judge Joshua Deahl likely startled many gun-ban advocates by getting right to the heart of the matter. On the District’s logic, states…

United States President Donald Trump threatened to hit Iran “twenty times harder” if it continues to stop the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.  Iran shut down the shipping lane shortly after the initial joint U.S.-Israel attacks. Now That Iran Has Closed The Strait Of Hormuz, How High Will The Price Of Oil Go? The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps continues to block the Strait of Hormuz, but has reportedly promised full freedom of passage to any Arab or European country that expels U.S. and Israeli ambassadors. Global oil prices briefly surged to nearly $120 per barrel on Monday before…
