A Houston home invasion shooting this week ended with a suspect in the hospital after police say a homeowner opened fire during a forced break-in. According to reporting from KHOU 11, the incident unfolded around 2 a.m. on Truman Street in North Houston, beginning with a crash that quickly escalated into a home invasion. Police say the suspect first wrecked an SUV into a ditch, then jumped a fence and made his way to a nearby residence. What happened next is the kind of scenario every homeowner hopes they never face. Investigators say the suspect smashed a window on the…
Images by the author and from stopboxusa.com Shooters today are blessed to have available to them many ways of storing and protecting their guns. From huge safes that can withstand a house fire to small, portable boxes, there have never been as many ways to keep a gun secure. A while back, I ran across an ad for a product that aroused my interest. Having a dozen grandkids makes me probably more safety-conscious than many others, although that’s an area that all gun owners need to address. Enter StopBox. I was a bit intrigued by the concept of a reinforced-plastic…
A senior United States delegation team met with Cuban government officials in Cuba as the Trump administration ramps up its efforts to pressure Havana into a deal. The U.S. is continuing to exert an economic stranglehold on the island. The senior State Department delegation, which visited the island in recent weeks, stressed that time was running out for Havana “to make key U.S.-backed reforms before circumstances irreversibly worsen,” a U.S. State Department official told CNN. Cuba recently responded to threats from U.S. President Donald Trump that he would be able to take over Cuba with military force. Trump: “I Do…
For centuries, hunting blinds have been used to conceal hunters. Be it piling sticks, logs, and rocks together or using a modern-day pop-up blind, these things work. And we can assure you, they aren’t stopping anytime soon. We’ve been lucky enough to sit in our fair share of blinds and have taken away a few key ingredients in what makes a good blind. Our testers for this guide, Morgan Nowels and Josh Kirshner, are dedicated to chasing all manner of ungulates and birds throughout the year. Sometimes, that requires a blind. This year, our team spent over 20 days hunting…
If the Supreme Court was as zealous in overturning gun control laws as the anti-2A crowd claims it is, the justices would have granted cert to Schoenthal v. Raoul earlier this month so they could strike down the state of Illinois’ and the Chicago Transit Authority’s ban on concealed carry on public transportation. Instead, the Court denied cert and left the “gun-free zones” in place. Though plenty of violent offenders have disregarded those rules, it’s not often we see someone with a valid carry permit busted for having a gun on CTA property. My guess is…
The firearm industry is drawing a line in the sand over a new Maryland proposal that could ban a wide swath of commonly owned handguns. And a lawsuit may be coming next. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) is vowing legal action if Gov. Wes Moore signs Senate Bill 334 and House Bill 557 into law, arguing the legislation would effectively ban some of the most popular striker-fired pistols in the country. At issue is how the bills define so-called “machine gun convertible pistols.” Under the proposed language, certain semiautomatic handguns (particularly those with a cruciform trigger bar design aka…
Like California, Maryland could soon make it illegal to sell or transfer some of the most popular pistols in the country, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation is warning Gov. Wes Moore about the consequences of signing a gun ban bill into law. SB 334 and HB 557 would prohibit the manufacture, sale, and transfer of semiautomatic pistols the state defines as “machine gun convertible pistols.” The bill would put an end to the sale of virtually all Glocks and other striker-fired semi-automatic pistols in the state, because they can be illegally modified to fire…
This article was originally published by Micahel Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: The U.S. Navy Just Blew A Giant Hole In An Iranian Cargo Ship As The Crisis In The Strait Of Hormuz Escalates To An Entirely New Level Apparently the Trump administration was not kidding when it warned that no Iranian ships would be allowed through the blockade. Just a little while ago, Donald Trump announced that the U.S. Navy had blown an enormous hole in the side of an Iranian cargo vessel that had willingly chosen to ignore a warning to turn around. Just…
The city of Los Angeles is so deep into the anti-gun state of California that the nearest border to the city is Mexico. They have embraced gun control laws and constantly demand more. Despite all of that, not only does it seem that garden-variety gun control doesn’t work, but an arrest at LAX kind of shows us that the rules around international arms sales don’t seem to be doing all that much, either. We all know that in California, they raise a stink if you want to print firearms components on the 3D printer you…
Virginians who currently possess so-called “assault firearms” could face criminal charges unless they give them up under a newly-introduced bill in the state Senate. SB 749, introduced by Sens. Saddam Sadim, Creigh Deeds, and Lamont Bagby, contains no grandfather clause for current gun owners. Instead, it simply bans the importation, sale, manufacture, purchase, possession, transportation, or transfers of an “assault firearm.” B. Any person who imports, sells, manufactures, purchases, possesses, transports, or transfers an assault firearm is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.C. The provisions of this section shall not apply to (i) any government officer,…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Army has ordered several dozen additional active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minneapolis if needed, a defense official said Wednesday, amid protests over the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement crackdown. The defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive plans, confirmed that members of an Army military police brigade who are stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina have been given prepare-to-deploy orders. If deployed, the troops would likely offer support to civil authorities in Minneapolis, according to the official, who stressed that such standby orders are issued regularly and…
In a mixed bag ruling, a three-judge panel of the Richmond-based 4th Circuit Court of Appeals recently delivered one big win and several big losses to gun owners challenging the state’s onerous gun-control laws. Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen ruling, Maryland was one of several anti-gun states to strengthen, rather than loosen, its gun restrictions. One new law banned carrying firearms on private property held open to the public without the owner’s express permission—a regulation commonly known as the “vampire rule,” which references the literary notion that vampires must obtain an owner’s consent before entering a building. On January…
This article was originally published by Connor O’Keeffe at The Mises Institute. In recent weeks, President Trump has been getting more vocal about his intention to bring the semiautonomous Danish territory of Greenland under the control of the American federal government. A meeting was held last Wednesday between officials from the US, Greenland, and Denmark that, according to the Danish foreign minister, didn’t move the dispute any closer to a resolution. Since then, Trump has been repeatedly signaling that he’s willing to send American troops in to take it by force if the Danish government doesn’t agree to hand it over peacefully.…
As I carefully descend down a slick, slurpy, muddy path, a giant brown puddle of unknown depth awaits at the bottom. Undeterred, I add throttle. The Wilderness sinks in and scrapes the front bumper. Yet the Bridgestone Dueler tires claw at the sloppy terrain with plenty of force, and I march through the puddle, showering the sides of the Outback with mud along the way. All in a day’s work for a Wilderness-branded Outback, given its 9.5 inches of ground clearance, 17-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, and easy-to-clean surfaces — both inside and out. But with the more refined, seventh-generation platform…
The battle of the generations is something that seems to be perpetual. Boomers look down on Millennials. Millennials roll their eyes at Gen Z. Gen Xers like myself are rarely even acknowledged, though we’re pretty used to that. It goes on and on, and considering the ancient Greek writings about the failings of the new generation, it seems like it’s gone on forever. But the truth is that while it’s really kind of stupid to lump everyone in a generation into a group where you expect them to fit neatly into a box, there are…

While attending Beretta’s private Range Day on Sunday, January 18th checking out everything there are going to have new for SHOT Show 2026 (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade show) as well as the year of their 500th Anniversary, we came across a rather unique looking semi-auto shotgun in the Beretta AX800 Suprema! Beretta AX800 Suprema 12 Gauge With an edgy looking stock and forearm that is contoured unlike anything we have seen before, the Beretta AX800 Suprema is an eye-catching shotgun to say the least. In fact, Beretta touts this shotgun as being “the most advanced waterfowl shotgun we’ve ever built,…
