For the first time in more than ten years, Colombians who have concealed carry permits will actually be able to bear arms in self-defense, after President Abelardo de la Espriella signed a decree that ends the long-running suspension of all carry permits in the country. That suspension was put in place by former president Juan Manuel Santos, who issued a decree to that effect in December 2015. The first suspension was supposed to last for a little more than a month, but was subsequently extended and kept in place for more than a decade. In announcing…
A bug out location is not a campsite. It’s somewhere you may need to live, defend, and feed your family for weeks, months, or longer. That means the land itself has to work in your favor. Some regions have short growing seasons, brutal winters, or almost no surface water. Others are packed with people, hostile to gun owners, or so expensive to own that most preppers could never afford to hold the land in the first place. A spot that looks perfect on a map can turn into a liability once the grid goes down. This is exactly why you…
A shooting at a Michigan mall in July ended when a 19-year-old drew his own pistol and shot a man who had already taken one life and was firing wildly. Now that teen has been sentenced to two years of probation for carrying a gun without a permit. Martinez Long isn’t old enough to receive a concealed pistol license in Michigan since he’s not 21, but by the time he completes his probation he should be able to lawfully exercise his Second Amendment rights. The judge admonished Long for carrying the gun and told him he…
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin assured U.S. President Donald Trump in a phone call Tuesday that Moscow doesn’t harbor aggressive tendencies toward Europe, a senior Kremlin official said, after European officials expressed concern about Russian sabotage campaigns on their soil. Also Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that U.S. envoys who visited Kyiv presented some “very good, worthwhile ideas” for ending Russia’s 4 1/2-year-old war, adding that he hopes to meet with President Donald Trump within two weeks. But Russia remains determined to accomplish its military goals and it believes it is close to winning, Kremlin spokesman…
Yair Golan, who heads Israel’s left-wing Democrats party, said he’ll join the government if the opposition wins next month’s election and will put tackling Jewish settler violence in the occupied West Bank on the agenda. Ending the war with Iran, rebuilding Gaza and forging regional alliances will also be among his top priorities, the former military commander told Bloomberg. “We must end the open wars,” Golan said in an interview in Tel Aviv on Sunday. “I will have substantive discussions inside the next government to implement the diplomatic arm of Israel’s national security. We cannot solve all problems with bombs.…
The Supreme Court wants to hear from the city of New York after the Firearms Policy Coalition, Second Amendment Foundation, and several individual plaintiffs asked the Court to accept their lawsuit challenging the Big Apple’s ban on stun guns. The request from the High Court doesn’t guarantee that the justices will grant cert in Calce v. New York, but it does indicate that one or more justices are interested in the lawsuit. Back in 2016, SCOTUS issued a per curiam opinion in Caetano v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts that rejected the state’s arguments in favor its own stun…
President Donald Trump’s new Space Force uniform proposals have sparked comparisons to Nazi military attire after Trump said the science fiction movie Starship Troopers inspired the design. Trump created the Space Force in 2019 during his first administration. The service falls under the Department of Defense (DOD) and is the smallest of the major branches, with an authorized end strength of 10,400 in Fiscal Year 2026. The service is in charge of securing U.S. space interests. Trump posted an AI graphic on Sunday on Truth Social depicting the proposed “next generation” Space Force service dress uniform, which showed dark peaked…
The amicus brief submitted by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in the Viramontes case claims to be in support of neither the plaintiffs nor the defenders of “assault weapon” bans, which is an odd take considering what the bishops actually have to say. There’s little doubt that the clergy would like to see the challenged gun bans upheld by the Court. The gist of their argument is that the justices “should reject the view that gun ownership figures alone can place a category of weapons constitutionally and irrevocably beyond all regulation.”Amicus takes no position…
MIAMI (AP) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio begins a three-nation tour of Latin America on Tuesday, visiting U.S.-aligned conservative leaders as the Trump administration steps up military operations to combat drug trafficking and seeks further inroads in the Western Hemisphere aimed at improving America’s energy standing and combating illegal migration. Just a week after sealing a massive oil deal with Venezuelan leaders after a U.S. military operation in January deposed then-leader Nicolás Maduro, Rubio was traveling to neighboring Colombia to meet President Abelardo de la Espriella. Colombia’s new leader has embraced President Donald Trump’s policies on issues ranging from…
Africa’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention has said that the current Ebola outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain could be the worst one in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC or DR Congo) history. So far, more than 830 cases of the rare strain have been confirmed, and right now, there is no proven treatment or vaccine. Of those cases, 196 proved fatal. This outbreak is likely to be more widespread than reported cases, as conflicts and displacement make it difficult for healthcare officials to track and trace. “People Are Hiding” During Ebola Outbreak, Making Containment Difficult “If we don’t…
The morning sun hits earlier at 10,000 feet. And those first rays were my cue. I rolled out of Big Agnes’ updated Tiger Wall UL2 Bikepack Tent into the crisp morning of Colorado’s Central Rockies. Before the water even boiled, I had the tent deconstructed into its basic elements. I stuffed the fly and canopy into a bag and lashed the poles to my bike’s handlebar rack. And what’s this — room to spare? It’s unheard of in bikepacking where every square centimeter of pack space is spoken for. Lightweight packability has been the promise of the semi-freestanding Tiger Wall…
Carrying a gun and shooting at the range isn’t just for men. That’s probably never actually been the case, but that’s especially true these days. Women are a growing sector of the firearm market. However, are they being undercounted?Obviously, groups like the NSSF and the manufacturers try to do their best, but as my friend Robyn Sandoval pointed out recently, there’s a reason they might be getting missed.She was watching Disney+ on someone else’s account, and it made her think a little about how the algorithm works and how internal tracking functions. Streaming services make…
BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte played down on Wednesday the impact of the Trump administration’s decision to cut back the number of troops and military equipment it would provide its allies should they come under attack. NATO’s supreme allied commander, an American, is working on backup plans to defend Europe after the U.S. signaled on June 3 that it would no longer supply an aircraft carrier and support ships, aerial refueling planes and dozens of fighter jets, among other military assets, in a crisis. But Rutte said the U.S. is not withdrawing more troops from Europe. “This is…

A week after a Florida HOA in a massive planned community home to almost 10,000 people dropped its on carry ban in public spaces after threats of legal action from Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, another HOA has told residents their right to carry is null and void in common areas. This time around, though, the HOA in question is located in South Carolina, so Uthmeier won’t be able to ride to rescue of residents. Forest Pines Condominiums residents received an email Monday stating that firearms are not allowed in shared spaces on the property, which…
Iran would be allowed to start oil exports immediately under an interim deal with the U.S. and gain access to a $300 billion economic development program following negotiations for a permanent peace that’s meant to address Tehran’s nuclear activities, according to a draft of their agreement. The two sides plan to formally sign the memorandum of understanding on Friday in Switzerland, formalizing an agreement reached earlier and clearing the way for 60 days of talks to end the war and put strict limits on Iran’s nuclear program. The U.S. has begun circulating the text of the interim deal with allied…

The New World screwworm has spread to the United States, prompting the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to partner with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The USDA awarded a combined $105 million to 40 different projects aimed at stopping the spread of New World Screwworm. Some of these projects include dogs, artificial intelligence drones, and fungi. Twelve animal cases of screwworm have been confirmed in Texas and New Mexico. The parasite has been confirmed in cattle, sheep, goats, and a dog. Of these 12 cases, 11 are currently active. No cases have been reported in wildlife yet. New…
