A Missouri gun range has finally come out on top of a decades-long legal battle dating back to the 1980s, after the Missouri Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s decision to end an injunction that had placed tight controls on the range’s ability to operate. Fifty years ago the Glendale Shooting Club acquired some property with the intent of operating a range. A family living adjacent to the property weren’t thrilled with the prospect of gunfire coming from the club, and eventually filed suit claiming the persistent pew-pewing affected their property.In 1987 a judge on…
Most veterans with a service-connected disability who are thinking about education automatically reach for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. That instinct is understandable. The GI Bill is well known, well marketed and genuinely valuable. But for veterans who qualify for Chapter 31, Veteran Readiness and Employment — still widely called Voc Rehab — the GI Bill is often the lesser option and the one that leaves money on the table. Here is the core difference: The Post-9/11 GI Bill caps private school tuition at $29,920.95 per academic year for 2025-2026 and provides 36 months of entitlement. Chapter 31 has no tuition…
This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News. AI companies are purchasing millions of physical books from secondhand markets, destroying them after scanning for training data. Federal Judge William Alsup ruled Anthropic’s destructive scanning of legally purchased books qualifies as “fair use” under copyright law. Pre-2022 printed books are sought because they contain no AI-generated text, avoiding “model collapse” during training. ISBNdb and other intermediaries facilitate bulk purchases of 1,000 to 1 million books per order while keeping AI buyers anonymous. Rare, foreign-language, and out-of-print volumes face potential extinction as the last physical copies are destroyed. The…
The problem with experts isn’t that they don’t get everything right, so long as they’re not the ones in control of everything. Technocracy sounds alluring to some, but when the experts get it wrong, societies suffer in such schemes. For journalists, though, the term “expert” is often thrown around without a whole lot of reason. Especially when the word is used to lend credence with an axe to grind. Enter the USA Today story I wrote about on Monday.As I noted at the time, all of the “experts” cited as such are anti-gun, though one member…
A PCS move isn’t a one-time expense. It’s a major event that can stretch across two or three months, and even experienced military families routinely underestimate the costs. The good news is that PCS spending can be more predictable if you know what to plan for. Here’s how to build a budget that your family can use during the PCS season. How Much Does a Typical PCS Move Cost? The total cost of a PCS move varies significantly based on your family size, rank, distance and moving logistics. On average, military families spend between $500 and $5,000 out of pocket,…
As an avid paddler, I consider a waterproof first-aid kit non-negotiable. Even when I’m heading out on dry-land missions, I want my first-aid essentials to stay bone-dry. If I had to pick one compact kit to keep in regular rotation, the Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight/Watertight .7 Medical Kit ($35) would be it. Smaller than a 32-ounce water bottle, this kit is ideal for multisport days where space is limited. I have tossed it into dry bags, running vests, and even my dog’s pack without a second thought. The .7 includes the basics I want for blisters, headaches, mild allergic reactions,…

A fuel tanker in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Yemen was hijacked by Somali pirates. The Tanzanian-flagged fuel and chemical tanker MT Asana has a crew of 20 on board and was seized on Friday. Iran Accuses The US Of Acting Like “Pirates” After departing the Yemeni port of Mukalla, seven armed pirates reportedly boarded the MT Asana and forced it into Somali territorial waters near Puntland, according to the Associated Press, which cited anonymous sources familiar with the incident. While Tanzanian authorities have not confirmed any details yet, United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) has stated…
Imagine you’re a first responder. Your patient has just broken their leg and is wet, underdressed, and nearly hypothermic. If you don’t have any clothes to change them into, you may have to offer your own, or some purchased for the occasion. And if the injury is serious enough, those nice base layers might get cut right off, never to be used again. That was the scenario that merino wool brand Minus 33 tackled head-on when it launched a program in 2017 to donate its factory seconds to a local search-and-rescue organization. The Search & Rescue (SAR) kit program repurposes…

Back in December, I wrote about a holster protecting a gun from a vehicle fire. That holster, made by Falco, introduced me to the company and the fact that they use heavy-duty leather for many of their offerings. But they also use kydex for some products, which has some advantages, too. Leather is sexier, in my book, but kydex is lighter and thinner.So what do you do? Well, hybrids exist that use both, and Falco has a few already, but in a press release, they announced four more offerings.FALCO® Holsters is proud to announce the…
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey signed a sweeping gun control ordinance on Wednesday that bans semiautomatic rifles classified as “assault-style weapons,” magazines holding more than a state-set capacity, and unserialized firearms, and that the City of Minneapolis has limited authority to actually enforce. The Minneapolis “Safe Firearms Act” was passed unanimously by the City Council the previous week. It now sits in legal territory that has already produced one active lawsuit in a neighboring Minnesota city and is poised to generate another. The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, which filed suit against a similar St. Paul ordinance last fall and recently launched…
The best running vests carry water, fuel, and safety layers without bounce, bulk, or breaking your stride. Over a three-month test cycle, ultrarunner Constance Mahoney tested three new running hydration vests, logging more than 30 miles in each.

The Salomon Adv Skin 12 remains our best overall pick for its dialed fit, smart storage, and proven long-distance comfort. Meanwhile, the Decathlon Kiprun Essential Trail 5L earned our budget award for delivering dependable…
It sure looks that way. The Broncos ownership, using a vaguely named LLC, has been buying up property along Denver’s Eighth Avenue, which Broncos general counsel Tim Aragon recently described as the “front door” to the city’s stadium district. According to the website BusinessDen, Aragon told attendees at a BusinessDen event held in March that, “some of the things that existed in those properties might not be things that we wanted,” and it appears a local gun shop may be one of those undesired businesses. Alec Henkelman runs High Country Armory, and he got a…
The best power banks keep your essentials alive without unnecessary bulk. Whether you’re traveling, working remotely, or exploring outside, a solid power bank can save your primary tools for communication, photos, navigation, and more. For this round, GearJunkie Editor Chris Kassar put two power banks through a 6-month testing cycle, draining and recharging them at home, on flights, during road trips, and in the field. From flights to Jackson, Wyoming, to hikes and long driving days through Yellowstone National Park, Kassar tested how each model balanced capacity, charging speed, port layout, packability, and real-world convenience. We crowned the Nestout 15,000mAh…
The Second Amendment Foundation, joined by the National Rifle Association, Firearms Policy Coalition, and two private plaintiffs, filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday challenging Virginia’s newly enacted ban on semiautomatic rifles classified as “assault firearms” and on magazines holding more than 15 rounds. The suit, McDonald v. Katz, was filed in U.S. District Court following Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s signing of the legislation earlier this month into law. The bans take effect July 1, 2026. What the Virginia law does Under House Bill 217 and Senate Bill 749, signed by Spanberger as part of a broader gun legislation package, importing, selling, manufacturing,…
