Vortex surprised me. At roughly $200, the Venom Enclosed Emitter delivers significant value, featuring a sealed LED emitter, modern design elements, and broad mounting compatibility, all in a lightweight package. I ran it through a battery of drills and live-fire testing; here’s what I found. Key specs (from testing) Weight: ~1.75 oz Dot options: 3 MOA or 6 MOA Battery: side-mounted (no need to remove sight to change battery) Brightness: 10 daylight settings + 2 NV settings Footprint: DeltaPoint Pro (mates to Glock, S&W CORE with plates; direct-mounts like Shadow Systems and Ruger RXM) Why the enclosed emitter matters I’m…

BOA is still relatively new to ski boots — but it’s here to stay. Two seasons have shown its durability and downhill performance. K2 was among the first few brands to bring single BOA systems to the market. With the new K2 Cortex 130 Zonal BOA ski boots, K2 is one of two manufacturers to debut dual-BOA ski boots. That system adds a second dial for the cuff, providing zonal tightening in the upper and lower shells. I’m stoked I got early access to a pair for a field test.  The 2026 zonal Cortex is a low-volume freeride ski boot collection. The lineup has…

We cover a lot of stories about media bias against gun owners and the Second Amendment here at Bearing Arms, but it’s also important to highlight those news items that truly are fair and balanced. To that end, I want to point out an outstanding report by ABC 15 in Phoenix, Arizona covering one gun owner’s legal nightmare after he drew a gun to fend off a belligerent public official. The story should be read in its entirety, but I’ll give you a condensed version. In July, 2023 a guy named Matt Massucci went to his…

The government shutdown has surpassed one week and has put federal workers and military families in a financial bind, with food pantries in some portions of the country experiencing 30% upticks in traffic.At midnight Oct. 1 the federal government shut down over political squabbling between Republicans and Democrats in Congress, with rhetoric ramping up as posturing on each side of the aisle has become futile. Democrats want assurances regarding health insurance subsidies while Republican lawmakers and the White House have accused the opposition of wanting to embolden illegal immigrants.Dissipating negotiations have resulted in threats from President Donald Trump and GOP…

We told you recently how the gun-ban group Everytown for Gun Safety had launched its own bogus “gun safety training” program after we blasted them for years for having nothing to do with real “gun safety.” “This is the same group that preaches that guns are the root of all evil, claims that gun owners can’t really protect themselves and are actually at greater risk when a gun is in the home,” Larry Keane, senior vice president and general counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), pointed out at the time. As expected, though, birds of a feather flock…

I’m far from an expert statistician, but I’ve learned a few things over the years about how people use and abuse statistics in order to make their political point. There are a lot of ways you can make a mild thing look absolutely horrific, all by presenting the statistics a certain way. In the Second Amendment debate, we see this a lot.And, well, we’re going to see it again, this time as domestic violence prevention advocates try to misrepresent the statistics to push for gun control.Roughly 19 women are killed with a firearm in domestic…

You’ve probably seen online fundraisers when there’s an active-duty death. They’re a lovely gesture, but the fact is that the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs offer a significant package of lump-sum and ongoing benefits that provide a pretty good level of financial support for surviving families. Friends and family certainly don’t understand that, so their generosity and concern are logical and normal.But even military families often don’t know what benefits are available to the surviving family of an active-duty service member. I was teaching a survivor benefits class a few weeks ago, and an attendee said to…

A U.S. Army veteran will serve a year behind bars for wire fraud and stolen valor charges.Sharon Toney-Finch, 43, of Newburgh, New York, previously made false public claims about assisting homeless veterans. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Vincent L. Briccetti sentenced her to 12 months and one day in prison for claims of being a Purple Heart recipient as well as for a years-long scheme to defraud military veterans’ charities.She was indicted by the federal government in April 2024 on four charges: wire fraud, stolen valor, theft of government funds, and forging a military discharge certificate.In March 2025 she pleaded guilty to…

This article was originally published by Kevin Huges at Natural News.  President Donald Trump announced a landmark agreement with Pfizer to implement “most-favored-nation” pricing for Medicaid, ensuring the U.S. pays no more than the lowest prices offered to other developed nations. The new TrumpRx direct-to-consumer platform, launching in 2026, will allow Americans to purchase prescription drugs at steep discounts (averaging 50 percent off retail prices), bypassing traditional pharmacy markups. Pfizer committed to investing $70 billion in domestic research, development, and manufacturing, aligning with Trump’s push to bring pharmaceutical production back to America. While the deal marks progress, experts caution that discounts…

Beginning in 2026, Outdoor Retailer will again pull up stakes and start anew. But this time, the vaunted industry event will leave the friendly confines of the Mountain West and head north to the Land of 10,000 Lakes, organizers confirmed today.

The event will also move to later in the summer than it has in the past.…

Survivors of service members who die while serving on active duty are eligible for a wide range of pay and benefits. These come in three distinct categories: one-time payments or allowances, monthly payments and ongoing benefits. We’ll discuss each category in a separate article because there’s a lot to understand.Monthly payments come through two programs. While separate in their rules, payment structures and eligibility criteria, these programs work together to help provide ongoing financial stability for surviving families.Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP)The Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP), administered by the Department of Defense, is typically the largest continuing monthly payment available to…

When it comes to modern load-bearing equipment, shaving off ounces without compromising durability has become an increasingly important priority. Many operators and competitive shooters know that belts often carry the burden of excess weight while also becoming cluttered or obstructed when paired with armor or slung weapons.

Design and Construction The Exitus Lab stands out immediately for its weight. At just 129 grams without padding, it is the lightest assault belt…

As the name suggests, the most vital aspect of being a prepper is being prepared at all times. Unfortunately, many people who are fully prepared to deal with a disaster at home don’t give much thought to how they will deal with a disaster while they are away.Emergencies rarely happen when it’s convenient, and the chances of something going wrong while you’re at work, driving, or running errands are just as high as when you’re at home. Imagine being caught in a blackout inside a large building, stranded in your vehicle during a snowstorm, or suddenly needing to defend yourself…

As a Virginia gun owner, I’m getting increasingly concerned about the prospects of a Democrat trifecta in state government starting next year. The Democrat-controlled legislature approved dozens of gun control measures this year, all of which were thankfully vetoed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin. If Everytown-endorsed Abigail Spanberger is in the governor’s office during the 2026 session it’s going to be a much different story.  So why isn’t Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears making the Second Amendment an issue in her campaign? Spanberger is downplaying her anti-gun extremism, but she’s regularly showing this image of her opponent…

Whenever we sustain an injury during training, it is normal to stop working out so we have time to rest and recover.But is that necessary? Working out with a painful joint, such as the shoulder or elbow, sometimes means modifying the exercises you do, but not avoiding the gym altogether. For instance, some pushing exercises may be uncomfortable because of a particular injury, while a pulling exercise that engages different muscles and tendons may still be suitable for training. Here is this week’s question:Stew, I have a shoulder injury and still need to train. It is not bad, but it only hurts…
