Two major gun-rights organizations are taking the federal government to court over the federal law banning carrying a firearm in the country’s national parks.

Medical emergencies can happen when you least expect them. One morning, I was making breakfast for the family and was slicing a bagel. Next thing you know, the bagel knife slipped and sliced through a huge part of my left thumb.
