Browse any prepper forum or scroll through enough survival gear content online, and it won’t be long before you’re looking at $3,000 generators, $500 water filtration systems, and pre-made bug out bags that cost more than a month’s rent. The prepping industry has a vested interest in making you feel completely helpless if you don’t have that one piece of survival gear, and that pressure pushes people to either spend way more than necessary or give up on preparedness altogether. The truth is that many of the scenarios most likely to affect everyday people — things like burst pipes, long…
On Saturday my colleague Tom Knighton covered the fight between the Dorr brothers’ Ohio Gun Owners and a Republican candidate who the group claims has taken money from gun control groups. As it turns out, Rep. Gary Click isn’t the only candidate who’s suddenly been accused of being a tool for the gun control lobby just days before voters head to the polls in Ohio’s primary. In a video posted to the group’s X account, Ohio Gun Owners levied a similar accusation against HD 86 candidate Ben Weber. 🚨BREAKING: We have stripped candidate Ben Weber of his…
Glock may still be the 800-pound polymer gorilla, but bans, lawsuits, and years of slow evolution have shooters looking hard at what else is out there. From Canik to Walther, these striker-fired Glock alternatives are not just second choices; they are serious contenders. The Glock pistol is likely one of, if not the most, popular firearms in the United States. However, has the gun’s design become stale, or is its pending litigation and bans putting an end to its reign? If so, what are the options for Americans who now find themselves “Glock Blocked”? How Glock Became King, And Why…
The Unit 9 Compact is not some toy pretending to be a training pistol. It is a Glock 19-style, CO2-powered, non-lethal training system built for real reps, real feedback, and real force-on-force work without the range drama. I’ve been watching Unit Solutions closely since they launched their Unit 4 training rifle, and when they announced the Unit 9 Compact Training Pistol, I was genuinely excited to get my hands on one. I’ve trained with their AR platform at certain facilities, and I knew they weren’t messing around when it came to build quality and realism. So when the Unit 9…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. For the first time on record, the top 15 military spenders allocated more than $2 trillion to defense in 2025. Total global defense spending also reached a record $2.6 trillion, signaling a major shift in geopolitical priorities. Using data from the International Institute for Strategic Studies, this visualization, via Visual Capitalist’s Dorothy Neufeld, ranks the 15 countries driving this surge in military spending. While the U.S. still operates on an entirely different scale, the biggest shift is happening in Europe, where countries are no longer just maintaining military capacity but expanding it significantly. The…
I absolutely understand the concept of making law enforcement more effective. If we want criminals to go to prison for their crimes, the first step is to find them. Sure, we also need judges to actually lock them up, but that’s a separate issue from making the police’s job easier. The only issue is that so much of the time, the proposals to do that are really boneheaded. One plan in Illinois seems to hinge on requiring markings on bullets that, in theory, could be later identified by police when used in a shooting.There are…

The United Heroes League, a national 501(c)(3) non-profit that supports military families and their children year-round, is this year’s recipient of the National Hockey League’s ‘Stick Tap for Service’ honor. The NHL, in partnership with Navy Federal Credit Union, is honoring the non-profit for its impact on military families by providing $12 million in free sports equipment, game tickets, cash grants, skill development camps, and special experiences across the US & Canada. “UHL has made an extraordinary difference for military families and their children nationwide, giving them the chance to participate in the sports they’re passionate about—especially hockey,” said Joe…
Subaru’s research shows that 37% of its owners would consider an EV as their next vehicle. As such, it is filling out its lineup of EVs. Uncharted, Solterra, and Trailseeker are the EVs, mirroring the Crosstrek, Forester, and Outback gas-vehicle lineup. Subaru invited me to Southern California to test the largest of its EVs, the 2026 Trailseeker. I drove it for half a day across a wide range of conditions, including city traffic, interstate, a muddy off-road course, and very wet, windy backroads. I came away from the experience with he feeling that many Subaru faithful will be very happy…
Later this month the Supreme Court is slated to consider Schoenthal v. Raoul in conference, and if the justices grant cert the challenge to Illinois’ ban on lawful concealed carry on public transportation could be heard this fall. While the briefs filed by the plaintiffs and the defendants have largely argued over whether or not there’s a historical rationale for keeping public transportation “gun-free”, there’s a pragmatic argument to be made against the weapons ban as well: criminals are routinely ignoring those prohibitions, and violent crime on Chicago Transit Authority property is the highest it’s been…
Iran has claimed that the United States has suffered 200 casualties in retaliatory strikes in the Middle East. The Pentagon, however, says that number is only three. Iran Has Confirmed The Death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that strikes on military bases in the Middle East have caused the death of 200 military personnel. “As a result of missile strikes on American bases, at least 200 US military personnel were killed and injured,” the Tasnim news agency reported Saturday, citing a statement by the IRGC. This is a rather large discrepancy. Is Iran…
San Francisco–based travel brand Aer and the gear experts at GearJunkie’s sister site Pack Hacker looked at existing slings on the market and came away with one bold idea: Make the ultimate sling bag. The result is their first-ever design collaboration, the Aer x Pack Hacker Ultra Sling. Born from a 17-month development process that saw the teams testing prototypes from Lisbon to Seoul, this 2L sling bridges the gap between minimalist everyday carry and rugged travel utility. Check out a first look at the new bag below. The Design Built for the Elements The new, standout feature of this…
Wile the U.S. Supreme Court has been keeping almost a half-dozen cases dealing with whether or not adults under the age of 21 are fully vested with their Second Amendment in a holding pattern, the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts will take up the issue in oral arguments today. Mikai Thomson, who was 20 when his car was stopped by police in Boston more than four years ago, was convicted of several charges including illegal possession of a firearm. Thomson and his public defender, however, have argued that the Massachusetts law forbidding under-21s from obtaining…
A bill before the U.S. Congress that would prevent law enforcement officers in the country illegally from carrying firearms highlights a loophole in the law that at least one gun-rights group believes needs to be addressed. Under normal circumstances, federal law prohibits illegal aliens from possessing firearms and ammunition. However, as Gun Owners of America (GOA) pointed out in a newly posted fact sheet, there have been at least three major cases where an illegal has been hired in a law enforcement capacity, drawing attention to a glaring issue with current federal law. “Congress introduces a GOA-backed bill to appeal an…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. The Opening Gambit in a New Type of War As the war with Iran entered its second day in early March 2026, a more sinister pattern emerged from the initial volleys of missiles and drones. The opening strikes by the Islamic Republic were not a maximal effort to inflict immediate, catastrophic damage on the United States and Israel. Instead, they constituted a meticulously calculated first move in a new, asymmetrical warfare playbook. This strategy is not designed to win a head-to-head confrontation with the world’s most expensive military, but…
While most of my weekend was spent with my family, a little doing some woodworking, and mostly just trying to relax, there was still plenty of time to jump on X and talk about the US bombing Iran back into the stone age. So, we bombed them back to about eight minutes before. Anyway, Iran has been a key part in the rise of Islamic terrorism throughout the world. They’ve had their grubby little paws on everything from the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut to the attack on the USS Cole to supporting…
