So long as you’re complying with the laws of your state, you can carry a firearm in national parks or forests. This is good, because some of that property has some dangerous critters, and some of them are the two-legged variety. Being able to protect yourself is a good thing. Unfortunately, not all public land, even federally owned public land, goes by the same rules.For instance, property owned by the Army Corps of Engineers, which includes a lot of lakes and such that people enjoy for outdoor recreation, is still gun-free. That creates a problem,…

For many military families, the teenage driving years arrive faster than expected. One minute you’re installing car seats, and the next you’re in the passenger seat reminding your teenager to check their mirrors. At some point, many families start asking the same question: Should we buy our teenager their own car? Like many things in military life, the answer isn’t simple. Frequent moves, changing duty stations and different transportation needs can make the decision more complicated than it might be for civilian families. While a car can provide independence and convenience, it also comes with financial and practical considerations. And…

If you’ve been prepping for more than, say, a day, you know to stockpile things like food, water, and first aid supplies. That’s the easy to remember stuff, right? We all know we’ll need to eat and stay hydrated. However, there are a number of things many preppers overlook in their planning. Things that will certainly come into play at some point during any sort of long-term event. Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! Condoms Let’s face facts, ok?

We’ve just wrapped up Sexual Assault Awarness Month and we had a chat with Desiree Bergman from NotMe CA about it. We discussed empowering women via increasing access to self-defense options. April was Sexual Assault Awereness Month and in an effort to raise awareness about self-dfense options for women, Bearing Arms had a chance to connect with Desiree Bergman. Bergman is the program director of NotMe CA — a 501(c)(3) that runs NotMeSD, NotMeOC, and NotMeIE programs in California. Bergman is a firearms instructor, advocate, and activist. “Being a gun enthusiast is what I like…

One of the toughest things to do, seemingly, is figuring out how to end a video game. A game can have one of the best stories around, even compared to movies, but if things go badly in the final act, it can alienate fans. Some of the following games have divisive endings that may have done just that, but no one can deny how shocked they were upon originally finishing up these games. Some examples include something recent, like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, something a bit older, like Spec Ops: The Line. Those games and more will be ranked based…

This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News.  U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres declared that billions in U.S.-assessed contributions are legally binding and cannot be tied to reform conditions. Washington reportedly circulated diplomatic notes demanding nine “quick-hit” reforms, including cost-cutting measures and limits on Chinese influence. Proposed U.S. conditions include pension system overhaul, travel restrictions, senior staff cuts, and blocking China from discretionary funds. Guterres acknowledged ongoing reform efforts but insisted funding obligations and structural changes must remain separate issues. U.N. faces severe financial strain, with the United States having paid only $160 million of more than $4…

Not living in California, I’m not familiar with Turner’s Outdoorsman as a store. It’s just not something I’m going to come across on the opposite side of the nation, apparently, which is fine. I respect any chain store that’s able to sell guns widely in such an anti-gun state. But it seems the latest would-be Trump assassin got one of his guns at one of the chain’s locations, and that sparked The Trace to spring into action.And by “spring into action,” I mean engage in some alarmism about the chain.Eight months before Cole Tomas Allen…

The ATF just rolled out one of the biggest regulatory shakeups in years: 34 separate rule changes billed as a “new era of reform.” But according to Gun Owners of America (GOA), gun owners shouldn’t celebrate just yet. “There’s some good and then there’s a lot that we’re skeptical about,” GOA said in its initial breakdown of the package. After years of aggressive rulemaking under the Biden administration, this new package is being framed as a reset. GOA agrees, partially. But they’re also warning: without permanent legal fixes, many of these “wins” could disappear overnight. Repeal Rules: Undoing the Damage……

Officials from the United States and Morocco gathered on Tuesday to dedicate the new consulate General Casablanca, promoting the centuries-old relationship between both nations that they hope will prevail for another 250 years. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau joined U.S. Ambassador to Morocco Duke Buchan III, Moroccan government officials, and embassy and consulate general personnel at the 6.9-acre site in Casablanca’s Casa Anfa financial district to support expanded cooperation on economic growth, security and regional stability, according to a press release issued by the U.S. State Department. Both nations’ allyship goes back to 1777, when Morocco became the…

On paper, the Nodus Nomad sounds like a practical field watch at a good price. With dual time, compass functionality, a reliable Seiko movement, and 100 m of water resistance, I was intrigued. But the shimmering, sand-colored dial is what really drew me in. I connected with Nodus to arrange a demo. Before I ever got one in my hands, the Nodus Nomad GMT watch underwent extreme testing. At least that’s what the brand claimed, noting that 15 explorers wore prototype Nomads across two weeks along remote terrain, “enduring 124°F heat, violent sandstorms, and wet desert conditions with no logistical…

If there was one theme that kept surfacing during Dr. John Lott’s sit-down on Strictly Speaking: Unfiltered with Bob Frantz at the NRA Convention, it was this: the facts are out there but good luck getting anyone to debate them. Lott, the economist and founder of the Crime Prevention Research Center, didn’t hold back. From his academic career to the reliability of FBI crime data, the conversation hit nearly every pressure point in today’s gun debate. And if you’ve followed Lott for any amount of time, none of it will surprise you. “You Just Can’t Get People to Debate” Lott…

The U.S. on Tuesday approved a potential $373.6 million long-range precision bomb package for Ukraine, offering the East European nation more leeway to potentially strike Russian targets from farther away. The package includes Joint Direct Attack Munition-Extended Range, or JDAM-ER, kits and related equipment, according to the State Department. Boeing is listed as the primary contractor for the proposed sale. Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, prompting strong U.S. support. But that support, in terms of both weapons and financial aid, has dramatically decreased over the past 1 1/2 years. Last week, the second U.S. ambassador to Ukraine announced her…
