The United States has chosen to hold off on a major strike on Iran due to a short supply of air defense missiles. The missile shortage can be blamed on a number of things; however, the main idea is that the US chose to “donate” a large chunk of its war supplies to Ukraine. US Halting Some Weapons Shipments To Ukraine As Own Military Stockpiles Plummet Iran and the US have exchanged strikes for nearly two weeks since a fragile ceasefire reached in spring collapsed. Both sides are also accusing each other of violating a 14-point memorandum of understanding (MoU),…
Every day in the United States, someone uses a gun for self-defense. Most of the time, these never make the news. They either draw it and scare off the bad guy, or they’re used against an animal or something else that isn’t interesting to journalists. Either way, they use them, they protect themselves, then they go on about their day. The state of Hawaii would have you believe, though, that armed citizens aren’t protecting themselves. They want you to think that people who carry guns are a threat and need to be excluded.Over at our…
Whenever I drive into Richmond from my home in rural central Virginia, I pass by American Family Pawn and Gun, or at least the building where that gun shop used to be. Despite a pretty good location on a busy four-lane highway in the Richmond exurb of Powhatan, Virginia, the store closed its doors for good a little more than a year ago. The owners of American Family aren’t alone. As American Rifleman reports, the number of Class 01 and Class 02 FFLs across the country has declined by more than 10 percent in the…

From frozen Teton trailheads to windblown Colorado fourteeners, the best down jackets prove themselves as year-round essentials. Because mountain weather is notoriously fickle, your puffy needs to be light enough for a daypack, warm enough for sub-freezing mornings, and tough enough to handle shifting forecasts. Over the past 10 months, two experts tested 10 products: GearJunkie Senior Editor Chris Kassar and lead tester Ryan Kempfer. The duo logged 100 days and 600 miles skiing the Tetons, hiking Alaska, bagging fourteeners, and braving frigid Yellowstone conditions to confirm how these jackets deliver. In the last five years, eight experts have tested…

Picture this: You are driving home from work, or maybe you are sitting in the living room with your family on a humid spring afternoon. The sky suddenly takes on a strange, bruised green color. The wind stops, and an eerie silence settles in. Then, the distant wail of a warning siren cuts through the quiet. When a tornado is imminent, there is no room for guesswork. You do not have time to scroll through your phone for advice or to debate where to hide. It is hard to know what to do when chaos hits your neighborhood. Panic is…
Synthetic insulated jackets provide reliable warmth when the weather turns sour. Unlike down — which loses its loft and insulating power when soaked — synthetic jackets trap heat even in a downpour and breathe efficiently during high output. Over the past nine months, GearJunkie Editor Chris Kassar and lead tester Ryan Kempfer put 15 synthetic jackets through the wringer. They logged 60 days and 350 miles hiking, skiing, biking, and climbing in Jackson, Wyoming, to find the best options. Throughout the past four years, five testers have worn nearly 50 different jackets to narrow the field. We crowned the Arc’teryx…
I grew up as the skinny kid in class. I was of average height, but as thin as a rail. Because of that, and being a little odd in general, I was the target of a lot of picking on, humiliation, and more than a few acts of violence. I tried to hold my own, but size matters when physical violence occurs, so there was only so much I could do. Which is why I feel like I can speak about why gun rights are important to women, who are smaller, physically weaker, and slower…

For the past five years, Air Force veteran James Bowers has looked to his service dog, Kate, for comfort, care and guidance. Now Bowers is hoping to pay his loyal companion back when she needs it the most. Kate was seriously injured on Tuesday in an accident in a Buc-ee’s parking lot in Texas City, Texas, northwest of Galveston. One of the dog’s legs was severely broken, and the Bowers’ family is asking the public for help to pay mounting veterinarian bills to treat Kate’s injury. Like many accidents, the incident happened quickly. Kate was walking with Bowers’ wife, Nancy,…
