The S&W 617 Mountain Gun looks like the .22 LR K-frame woods revolver a lot of shooters have been waiting for. It shoots well, carries the right Mountain Gun attitude, and then trips over the kind of quality-control problem that makes a man shake his head twice. The S&W 617 Mountain Gun Brings Big Mountain Gun Energy to .22 LR The concept of the mountain gun brings out some selective imagery. The historian in me thinks of the howitzers in the foothills around Chattanooga. But if we are talking small arms in this century, chances are it is the Smith…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran launched drone and missile attacks Sunday targeting Bahrain and Kuwait in response to U.S. airstrikes that hit the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” in negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks. Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s direct oversight sparked the crossfire now gripping the region and have imperiled negotiations for a lasting ceasefire. A multinational maritime body overseen by the U.S. Navy said Saturday that it would expand a route near Oman for both inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with…
The gun control lobby had unprecedented access to and sway over the executive branch of the federal government during the Biden administration, but those days are over and the anti-gunners are livid over their loss of power. The Trump administration closed the doors to the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and booted gun control activists from their paid positions within the federal government. ATF Director Steve Dettelbach, who was the Biden administration’s second choice after gun control lobbyist David Chipman failed to garner enough votes to be confirmed by the Senate, stepped down…
BEIRUT (AP) — As the White House has soured on Israel’s war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, U.S. President Donald Trump has shocked many in the region by pushing an alternative: Let Syria fight the Iran-backed militant group instead. He has suggested that the battle-hardened and Islamist-led insurgents who overthrew Syria’s autocratic President Bashar Assad a year and a half ago and formed a new government would do a better job of rooting out Hezbollah than the Israeli army. Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa has said he has no interest in doing so, and has asserted that Trump’s comments were misconstrued. But…
I’ve never liked how we treat felons in this country.Oh, we should definitely lock them up when they deserve it, and we go way too light on some of these sentences, to say the least, but when someone has paid their debt to society, it should be considered paid in full. We don’t do that. Instead, we continue to treat a lot of these folks like criminals for the rest of their lives. They have to check a box on most job applications that they’re felons, which doesn’t make sense for a lot of jobs,…
The war in the Middle East, which started on February 28th after the United States and Israel used joint strikes to attack Iran, has now expanded. Yemen’s Houthi Rebels have entered the fight, attacking Israeli military sites. More than 11,000 targets have been struck since Operation Epic Fury began, CENTCOM said Saturday in a fact sheet. Farea Al-Muslimi, a research fellow in the Middle East and North Africa program at Chatham House think tank, said: “The decision by the Houthis to join the broader Middle East conflict marks a serious and deeply concerning escalation.” “The potential impact on key commercial…
The Ninth Circuit recently heard an en banc review in Yukutake v. Lopez which involves firearm purchase requirements in Hawaii. Did Hawaii get caught lying while playing “he said,” “she said”? Previously reported, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard en banc arguments in a case challenging Hawaii’s firearm purchase permitting and inspection law. Yukutake v. Lopez received a favorable opinion from a three-judge panel and the Aloha State asked the full court for a review. The case is being litigated by attorney Alan Beck and the en banc arguments occurred on Mar. 24.…
Drama doesn’t begin to cover it. Marion Hammer — the 87-year-old former NRA president who created the Eddie Eagle GunSafe® program and is widely credited with pioneering Florida’s concealed-carry licensing framework — is suing the NRA for unpaid compensation. And her deposition earlier this month apparently went about as sideways as a deposition can go. According to subscription legal news service Law360, Hammer reportedly told NRA attorney Brian Hayden, “You think you’re God. And I think you’re an asshole,” at some point during the proceedings — and allegedly directed similar language at him multiple times throughout the hearing. Then things…
An Arizona bill making its way through the legislature this session would require K-12 schools to provide “age-appropriate firearm safety awareness education” to students each year. You can read the criteria for the lessons here, but it’s safe to say that it’s not meant to be any kind of backdoor indoctrination to gun ownership or anti-gun activism. The goal is simple: to make kids and juveniles aware of what to do if they come across a firearm. Bruce Petillo doesn’t see it that way, though. As he wrote in the Arizona Republic, in his…
