The list goes on. The gimmick in those cases really just amounts to an exclusive luxury name slapping its logo on a board you might hang on your wall. Or, in the case of Gucci in recent years, some branded après-ski threads. The…

The city of Memphis is like a lot of other anti-gun urban areas in pro-gun states. They think localities are best suited to decide what gun laws they need, but only if they’ll make things far stricter than state law. They’re not big fans of localities deciding less gun control is better. To that end, they thought they could get around Tennessee’s preemption law.To that end, they also got their posteriors sued.Unsurprisingly, they lost, as GOA announced in a press release:Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) are celebrating a major victory…
With President Donald Trump urging the U.S. Senate to do away with the filibuster to put an end to the government shutdown, one gun-rights group is sounding the alarm on that proposal. On November 4, Gun Owners of America (GOA) issued a national alert encouraging members to “save” the filibuster for the good of the Second Amendment. “President Donald Trump is calling on the Senate to use the ‘nuclear option’ and eliminate the filibuster to reopen the government,” the GOA Senior Vice President Erich Pratt wrote in the alert. “Destroying the filibuster would be a disaster for the Second Amendment.…

As if the job search weren’t stressful enough, today’s employers will often invite multiple decision makers to job interviews. They may do this for efficiency (fewer meetings on the calendar), to get multiple perspectives on a candidates’ responses (we’re all hearing the same thing at the same time), to assess the candidate’s ability to satisfy multiple stakeholders, or for myriad other reasons.For the job candidate, the idea of interviewing in front of many people at one time can feel overwhelming, daunting and highly unpleasant.Then, when you add the virtual (video or audio) component to the job interview with multiple participants,…
As the head of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) is pointing his finger at Democrats for the ongoing government shutdown, national organizations are pointing fingers back regarding fraud and benefits claims.The government shutdown has eclipsed 29 days and is currently the second longest in U.S. history. Democrats have held out for health care subsidies associated with the Affordable Care Act while Republicans who control the majority in both the U.S. House and Senate chambers have stated they would entertain a health care debate if a continuing resolution was voted on and passed to reopen the government. Secretary of Veterans…

Here is the track workout we did this week:Make Sure You Warm UpWhenever you plan to run fast, be diligent with your warmup. This may take 15 to 20 minutes of slow and steady cardio, dynamic stretches and a…

America’s most popular handgun just became the latest target in the gun control movement’s ongoing war against firearms manufacturers, and the activists at Everytown for Gun Safety are celebrating. Earlier this week, Everytown cheered Glock’s decision to halt production of most of its existing handgun lineup and replace it with a newly redesigned series. The group quickly claimed credit for the move, calling it a “major victory” in its campaign to hold the firearms industry legally accountable for crimes committed with illegally modified weapons. The announcement follows a wave of lawsuits and new legislation in California targeting Glock over the…
After a long 14-hour day in the whitetail woods, it felt good to sit down at the table and eat some dinner. It had been a tough day, with temps in the 80s and limited deer movement. I pulled up the weather app, and a smile came across my face. Temps in the 40s tomorrow morning: The cold front I had been waiting for all season was here. I went into the closet and stuck the SITKA Stratus 2.0 bibs and jacket into my hunting pack. The next morning, I had a grueling hike into the stand. After crawling up…
The paltry number of gun shops in the five boroughs of New York City will soon be required to post graphic signs warning of the dangers of gun ownership, thanks to the latest anti-gun action by the New York City Council. The ordinance was spearheaded by City Councilman Erik Bottcher, who complained to Gothamist that, ““I can’t think of a deadlier consumer product that has no warning for consumers at the point of purchase.” Does Bottcher really think that some gun buyers are so stupid they don’t realize they’re purchasing an item that can cause death and…
