When I was growing up in rural Texas, it wasn’t a question of whether you would eventually collide with a deer while driving. It was more like an inevitability. That’s evidently true for many Americans, who experience between 1 and 2 million crashes with large animals every year. But unlike my colleagues in Colorado and Montana, I’ve only had deer to worry about. They have to worry about an animal 10 times heavier: the moose. These 6-foot-tall giants can weigh up to 1,500 pounds and will absolutely destroy a vehicle in a head-on collision. They pose an even greater threat…

The Second Amendment remains the only right that basically ends at the border of the state where you live. Once you cross the state line, it’s up to politicians in the other 49 states (as well as U.S. territories and the District of Columbia) to decide if they’ll recognize your right to carry.  President Donald Trump, however, wants to change that, as he made clear on Tuesday at a speech in Pennsylvania. JUST IN: President Trump reveals his administration is working on NATIONAL RIGHT TO CARRYThis would be an absolutely HUGE step towards bringing back the…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday that six people have been arrested for damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, as the iconic Washington, D.C. site increasingly becomes a flashpoint over the president’s $14-million-plus rehabilitation project gone awry. In a social media post, Trump claimed without supporting evidence that there had been a “350 foot gash” in the paint as the administration faces a self-imposed deadline to fix the botched renovation before the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration next week. Trump said another seven people were cited for damaging the pool. “It was purposefully and criminally done, and somebody had…

Many preppers keep ready-to-eat foods, such as canned goods, protein bars, and dried fruits, for emergencies. But at some point, you will want a hot meal, especially if the emergency lasts more than a day or two. Without an electric stove or microwave, your options may feel limited to eating the same instant foods day after day. But there are ways to safely cook food without electricity, even in a small space. The key is knowing what you can cook, either indoors or outdoors. During several hurricanes in Houston, many families opted to use their barbecue grills outside, particularly to…

Being a fishing-crazed maniac with an absolute plethora of both fresh and saltwater equipment, keeping my gear locker organized has always been an uphill battle. Add in the challenge of packing for a weekend trip or even a quick afternoon outing, and my carefully curated storage endeavors often unravel, devolving into everything simply being thrown into the back of my Subaru. Plano’s GoNow Boxes have changed the way I keep all my fishing gear stored and ready to rock. For the first time in my life, I actually know where all my fishy odds and ends are safely stashed. Now…

New York has a lot of gun control laws on the books. They’ve created even more since the Bruen decision, which strikes me as more than a little ironic considering the text of that decision. Even before then, though, they had an issue with gun trafficking. See, no matter how much you try to restrict guns, some people will figure out a way to provide firearms to those who really, really want them. All you do with restrictions is make sure the only people getting them are people who do not view the law as…

The company recently announced the America 250 Limited Edition 1911, a commemorative pistol built around Damascus steel forged from a 4-pound British cannonball recovered from Lake Champlain.

America 250 1911: $14,776 From British Cannonball to 1911 Trigger The centerpiece of the project is a Revolutionary…

Avoiding injury is something all exercisers should be concerned about — but not so overly concerned that they stop training altogether. Health and wellness outcomes are significantly worse for those who do not exercise. While common aches and pains occur with age and with any physical fitness training, the key has always been continued movement for both longevity and improving fitness performance. Here is an email question coming in from an active-duty member getting ready to retire from service: Hi Stew. I have been following your articles for nearly 20 years. I appreciate your evolving efforts each year you write.…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadThis weekend’s winter storm is going to be a doozy for many areas. We are looking at a convergence of atmospheric conditions that threatens to disrupt infrastructure across a massive swath of the United States. For those who track weather patterns as part of their ongoing prepping assessment, the data indicate a multi-hazard scenario involving Arctic temperatures, heavy snow accumulation, and, most critically, a significant ice storm. The Preparedness Drill: Anxiety and panic are what happen when preparation hasn’t been made. As a prepper, or at a minimum, a preparedness-minded person, you’re ready for…

This article was originally published by Joseph Solis-Mullen at The Mises Institute.  Recently, Ryan McMaken posed a provocative question: if the French are willing to number their republics, why not Americans? The French, after all, openly acknowledge that their political order has undergone multiple transformations. The current French regime is known as the Fifth Republic, reflecting a succession of constitutional and political systems stretching back to the Revolution of 1789. No French historian would claim that the republic governed by Charles de Gaulle was identical to that governed by Adolphe Thiers simply because both called themselves republics. Americans, however, tend to insist…

Prepping doesn’t have to cost a lot of money if you know how to look for bargains. Garage sales and yard sales are great places to scoop up cheap survival items you might need for an emergency. The old saying that one man’s junk is another man’s treasure certainly applies here. Many people holding garage sales don’t know the true value of what they’re selling, or they simply don’t see items for how useful they are and end up selling them for next to nothing. Yard sale season is here, so now is the time to get out there and…

A deadly shooting in Montreal has reignited Canada’s gun control debate, with Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada calling on the federal government to “go further” even as critics question what additional restrictions would accomplish. The comments came after a tragic incident Monday that left a Montreal police officer, a civilian, and the suspect dead. Following a visit to the city’s Côte-des-Neiges district, Ferrada offered condolences to the victims’ families and praised first responders who responded to the scene. “You can feel the pain,” she told reporters. But while discussing ways to prevent future tragedies, the mayor also argued that Canada should…
