Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadUnless you’ve been taking a break from current events, you’re aware that the U.S. and Israel have launched a campaign of attacks against Iran, including the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, and Shia Cleric, Ali Hosseini Khamenei, which, as expected, prompted Iran to launch missile attacks at a number of Middle Eastern countries. That is prompting a variety of reactions in return. For many, especially in the in-tune-to-dangerous-times prepping community, there’s an unsettled feeling, maybe a worry-induced knot in our stomach, or something else that warns us this latest conflict could carry dangerous second-…
Glaring war hawk, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, has emphatically rejected the United States and Iran’s calls to cease military operations in Lebanon. The minister added that Israel can “achieve results if Lebanon is our playground.” In spite of a ceasefire agreement, which amounted to a surrender to Iran by the US, Israel has continued to strike targets in Lebanon, it says, that are linked to the terrorist group Hezbollah. Ben-Gvir has stated clearly that Israel will not and “cannot agree to a ceasefire in Lebanon,” and US President Donald Trump should be aware of this. Ben-Gvir further described…
A maintenance worker employed by the city of Las Vegas is behind bars and facing murder charges after allegedly shooting and killing a co-worker earlier this month, and the Las Vegas Review Journal says the murder of 41-year-old Joey McLean would “likely” not have happened were it not for the city’s handling of the months-long feud between the pair. What’s remarkable about the paper’s stance is that the editor’s aren’t pointing the finger at a city policy that allows many municipal employees to lawfully carry on the job, so long as they possess a valid carry…

The Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition notched a big win for the Second Amendment rights of young adults in a case called Reese v. ATF, but the federal judge in Louisiana who concluded that the federal law banning licensed sales of handguns and handgun ammunition to law-abiding 18-to-20-year-old adults violates the Second Amendment only granted relief to a very narrow subset of that age group; only those members of the plaintiff organizations who were members when the judge issued his ruling, and only those living within the geographic borders of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. …
The June 22 crash occurred during a training exercise and is being investigated. Four U.S. Coast Guard crew members have been declared safe following a helicopter crash. Authorities said in a press release that the Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew from Coast Guard Air Station Sitka crashed Monday during a training flight with four people aboard near Harbor Mountain in Sitka, Alaska.

Sitka Fire and Rescue arrived on scene at approximately…

The Middle East ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz are on extremely shaky ground. The Israelis are desperate and will do whatever they can to reignite the war, Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi has told RT India. Iran Accused Israel and The U.S. Of Violating The Ceasefire Marandi is blaming the “desperation” to end the ceasefire and reignite the war on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “But right now there is a spoiler, and that is Netanyahu,” he added. Pointing to the pounding of Lebanon by Israeli forces, Marandi said that “this means the commitments given by the United…
In the U.S., when you think of waxed cotton jackets, you probably think of Filson — almost everywhere else, though, it’s Barbour. Among the first, and undoubtedly the oldest operating waxed jacket manufacturers, Barbour has over 130 years of history behind its products. Few Barbour jackets carry that heritage quite as strongly as the Beaufort. Few waxed jackets are as versatile, built for layering, and functional for a wide gamut of outdoor activities. Mine may not have the decades of wear that plenty of Beauforts still in action today can claim, but over the last several months, I’ve put one…
The NRA Foundation has gone silent after being sued by the NRA. The attorney general of D.C. stepped in and the Foundation still refuses to disclose their leadership structure. The ongoing saga of the National Rifle Association v. NRA Foundation continues. Last year there were rumors that the Foundation changed their bylaws and they were contacted about their leadership structure. The Foundation did not reply to those queries. Rumors of a conflict turned out to be true, as the NRA filed a lawsuit against the Foundation. To date, the Foundation refuses to publicly disclose who…
Kansas just made a notable move on suppressors. The National Shooting Sports Foundation is applauding Governor Laura Kelly for signing HB 2501, a law that removes state-level criminal prohibitions on firearm suppressors. In simple terms, Kansas is clearing the way for lawful ownership at the state level. That includes eliminating the previous requirement tying suppressor possession directly to a federal tax stamp under state law, though federal requirements under the National Firearms Act (NFA) still apply. BREAKING NEWS – After passing the legislature with overwhelming bipartisan support, Kansas @GovLauraKelly has officially signed Sub for HB 2501 into law! This pro-suppressor…
Zion National Park is consistently one of the nation’s most popular national parks. With nearly 5 million visitors in 2025, during peak season, it’s become nearly impossible to reserve a campsite in or near the park. Recently, however, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposed major changes to camping along public lands near Zion, and the plan is sparking controversy. If implemented, the plan would cover nearly 14,000 acres of public land in Utah and shape the future of access in the American West. The Proposal In March, the BLM announced it would adopt a new campground management strategy for…
New York Democrats have already banned so-called assault weapons, claiming (among other falsehoods) that they’re too powerful for anyone to own, except for the military and police. Now they’re targeting the opposite end of the gun spectrum, by going after BB rifles and air guns. ATTENTION CITIZENS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK – YOUR GOVERNMENT IS WORKING TO BAN THE RED RYDER (and every other airgun) BY PLACING THEM IN THE IMITATION WEAPONS CATEGORY.This would require a plug in the barrel and coloration to match toy guns. The plug alone renders them… pic.twitter.com/qzhmRNJU5X— Daisy…
This is one of those situations where things go bad… fast. According to reporting from WAVE News, three teenagers are now facing charges after a robbery turned into a shooting, one that nearly cost a homeowner his life. It all went down early Wednesday morning. The suspects were moving through a neighborhood, checking cars, something police say has been happening more and more. Then they found one they wanted. That’s when the homeowner stepped in. Instead of staying inside, instead of calling it in and waiting, he confronted the suspect breaking into his car, fully aware his cameras were rolling.…
New Jersey has some of the most restrictive gun control laws in the country, including a lengthy and needlessly expensive process to obtain a permit to carry. While those laws have proved to be an impediment to lawful gun ownership, as an incident in Union Township over the weekend proves, they’re not doing much to curb violent crime. One person was killed and six others were wounded at a Chick Fil A restaurant when multiple individuals opened fire in what police say was not a random attack. After the shooting, a man told CBS News New…
There’s a potential shakeup coming out of the ATF and according to the Gun Owners of America, it could be a big deal… depending on how far it actually goes. At the center of it all is the Biden-era rule that required gun dealers to permanently retain firearm transaction records, those ATF Form 4473s that document who bought what. GOA says that rule wasn’t just about recordkeeping. It was about building a registry. And now, with a new rule reportedly in the works under the Trump administration, there’s a chance to roll that back. The question is: How much? According…
A new final rule published by the Trump Administration’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has put an end to “reputational risks” as an excuse for banking discrimination. At issue is the practice of large banks “debanking” or refusing to do business with corporations, like those in the firearm and ammo industry, that are legal but some consider politically incorrect. Last December, the OCC released findings that over the past several years, large banks systematically “made inappropriate distinctions” of lawful businesses, including those against firearm-related businesses, to restrict access to banking…
United States ruler Donald Trump has attacked Pope Leo, the patriarch of the Catholic Church, as being “terrible for foreign policy.” The social media assault comes as Pope Leo emerged as a vocal critic of the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran. Christian Nationalism and Trump’s Weaponization of Religion The pope described Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization as “truly unacceptable,” warning it amounted to “a threat against an entire people.” Pope Leo XIV also asked the U.S. rulers for some “deep reflection” on the treatment of migrants. Trump, Immigration, and ICE Trump responded in a post on Truth Social on Sunday…
When it comes to hiking in the Southeast, the Appalachian Trail tends to get all the attention. While this famous thru-hike certainly deserves all the love it gets, most of us aren’t about to take on a 2,000-mile-plus trail. Luckily, there are plenty of other five-star trails for the day hikers and weekend warriors out there. From national parks to state parks to sections of thru-hikes and more, the Southeast abounds with striking vistas, stunning waterfalls, and spectacular forests. We sourced beta from local newspapers, online reviews, and GearJunkie staff in the region to compile a list of 10 of…
