Don’t read the comments; something I can’t always do. What happens when the comments really fly off the handle? Our buddy Jason from Texas Gun Vault has a balanced approach. The internet is a vicious and crazy place. Ever since the days of BBSes and sending over a private “whisper,” people have been just awful in front of and behind each other’s digital backs. Content creators, writers, bloggers, journalists — pretty much anyone who puts themselves out there in the public, opens themselves up to an endless supply of scrutiny. Our good friend Jason from…

The electric car industry was, for a little while there, the new gold rush. It was relatively easy to get public or private funding for promising battery-powered vehicles like the Fisker Ocean, infrastructure support was growing, and investors were terrified of being left out of the next big thing. In retrospect, it’s obvious that this was an economic bubble. Of course, it was obvious five years ago, too (and it was especially obvious to Toyota). Fast, easy money is never sustainable, and the scrapyard is full of electric cars that were supposed to lead the industry into a new era.…

This article was originally published by Joshua Mawhorter at The Mises Institute.  This year in the United States, we recognize the 250th anniversary of the final presentation of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. To the informed readers of the Declaration—mainly penned by Thomas Jefferson, but with the help of others—it is evident that Jefferson borrowed concepts and language from John Locke in terms of rights, the role of government, and consent. In order to critique the British government and argue a case for independence, Jefferson borrowed from Locke’s social contract theory to demonstrate the limited role of…

Military.com has learned that a Navy veteran faces attempted murder charges after allegedly committing a brutal attack in Escondido, Calif., against a 69-year-old Army veteran who is a huge supporter of President Donald Trump. Thomas Caleb Butler, 32, a U.S. Navy veteran and resident of Escondido, was taken into custody this week without incident and booked at the Vista Detention Facility for attempted murder. A San Diego County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson told Military.com on Friday that Butler was set to appear at a local courthouse at 1 p.m. local time for his arraignment. The victim is 69-year-old Kerry Sheron, known…

A hunting backpack is tasked with one of the most difficult things you can demand of gear: hauling massive loads of meat from the backcountry. But they must remain light and nimble for use while hunting. Editorial Director Sean McCoy and GearJunkie Hunt/Fish Editor Rachelle Schrute initially created this guide while hunting elk, deer, and bear in Colorado and Montana. In our most recent test round, contributor Morgan Nowels tested three big game hunting packs for 5 months. In that time, he went on dozens of hunts in three different states. This article focuses on larger packs designed to haul…

It’s no surprise that I’m a fan of Brandon Herrera for the 23rd District of Texas. He’s one of us, with a massive gun collection and a dark sense of humor that has gotten him in a spot of difficulty from time to time, but none of it has stuck since it was, in fact, humor. Hell, his opponent and her supporters couldn’t even get their attack over him owning a copy of Mein Kampf to stick, in part because the clip they used cut out the part where he talked about how deranged Hitler…

When it comes to the weather, this summer is looking like a mixed bag of extremes. On the one hand, we’ve got a “Super El Niño” brewing that could bring many severe storms. And when it’s not storming, most forecasters expect a hotter-than-average summer. Either way, an unpredictable climate means one thing for us GearJunkies: Make sure you’re prepared for any scenario. This week’s batch of new gear showcases just how useful camping gear can be when you don’t know what to expect from the Great Outdoors. We’ve got innovative coolers, reliable power stations, streamlined hydration, waterproof jackets, and a…

Memorial Day remembrance tends to cluster. In public memory and in public observance, it gravitates to certain conflicts and generations: World War II, Vietnam and, more recently, Iraq and Afghanistan. The ceremonies, the tributes, the coverage and the cultural weight of the day concentrate there. That is understandable. Those wars produced the largest losses, the longest national arguments and the deepest generational marks. But the 1.1 million Americans who have died in military service across this country’s history did not all die in those wars, and Memorial Day belongs to all of them — including the ones whose conflicts never…

The Montana is MKC’s first production-scale folding knife, following years of fixed-blade releases from the brand. It’s an EDC liner lock with a MagnaCut stainless steel blade, G10 scales, titanium hardware, and a deep-carry pocket clip.

The Montana drops June 4 at 7 p.m. Mountain time, and MKC…

In a time when turning on the TV, checking social media, or opening email can bring either great news (“Your candidate got elected!”) or bad news (“The company regrets to inform you …”), maintaining a positive attitude can feel exhausting. A little levity can provide welcome relief during a stressful week. Humor, used well, can help people connect, reduce tension and create moments of humanity in tense situations. But when humor is poorly timed, inappropriate or misses the mark, it can backfire quickly and leave lasting damage to your reputation and credibility. When Humor Misses the Mark Consider what happened…

This was the first time I’ve ever felt like I needed more furniture in a tent. The cool vinyl floor of the Springbar Skyliner begged for folding chairs at one end, a large air mattress at the other, a rug and card table at the center, with a lounge area out front beneath the awning. Between the breathable canvas walls and the wood stove, I was also as unworried about moisture as I’ve ever been in a tent — for now. When I pack this castle up tomorrow and store it away at home, that might be a different story. Springbar…
