If a policy that won preliminary approval in the Lexington-Richland 5 school district this week is implemented, students may be protected by armed school staff in the future. Then again, they might not, even if the district allows for the practice. That’s because the policies that the district is planning on putting in place are so burdensome that officials might not find any staffers willing to shoulder the responsibility. The newly-drafted ordinance requires staff carrying weapons to wear a district Security Department badge visible or “clothing that clearly identifies the employee as a member of the…
U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping left their Washington meetings last week with a list of eight “deliverables and understandings.” The list covers trade, artificial intelligence and Iran, along with diplomatic and symbolic commitments. It is not eight separately signed treaties or completed deals. A proposed military crisis agreement appears separately, and neither government has announced that it is in operation.

Let’s start off by noting that yes, warning shots are stupid. I don’t feel like getting into why, generally speaking, in this piece, because it’s not about that. It’s about a California man facing charges for firing warning shots. It started with the nightmare scenario for many people: the proverbial bump in the night. Someone was inside of the home in the dark of night who shouldn’t have been there.So a man who works as a security guard decided he needed to do something, but he apparently didn’t want to hurt anyone.A security guard was…
An Air Force officer who was arrested after calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment has been recommended to stand trial by general court-martial—the military’s most serious level of trial—on most of the charges against him, according to his attorney. Maj. Jason Watson was arrested in uniform on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in July as he called for Trump to be impeached, arguing that the president had violated the Constitution and that Trump and Vice President JD Vance should be removed from office. Watson has said he acted not out of partisanship but to uphold his oath to defend…
The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division has already successfully gone after the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department over its unreasonable delays in processing concealed carry applications and recently targeted San Jose, California over its excessive fees for concealed carry permits, but now the division is seeking to strike down another local law on the books in San Jose. The Justice Department filed its first complaint against the city’s $1591 application fee a couple of weeks ago, but on Tuesday the agency filed an amended complaint this week that challenges San Jose’s requirement that concealed carry applicants undergo…
The U.S. Marine Corps is following the Department of Defense (DOD) and Air Force, issuing new deadlines for service members to revise their religious affiliation as part of a major shift in the U.S. Armed Forces that began months ago. On Tuesday, the Marine Corps published its own official Marine Corps Administrative Message (MARADMINS) implementing the policy change that will affect personnel. This MARADMIN “announces implementation of the revised Department of War Religious Affiliation Codes (RAC) and directs Marines to review and update their religious affiliation information.” Military.com was the first to report how DOD dramatically reduced its official number…
Midterm elections are fast approaching. A former governor told Military.com that active-duty military personnel who plan to vote should be privy to their rights and engage in their civic duty. Hundreds of thousands of American military members worldwide are under pressure to make sure they are registered to vote for the elections taking place Nov. 3, notably requesting and receiving an absentee ballot so they can be returned in time for tabulation. Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican and U.S. Army veteran, told Military.com he is reminding all active-duty service members of their rights and protections in the voting…
Western veterans, including U.S. veterans, are reportedly training Russians to fight in Ukraine. A leaked intelligence memo compiled for Five Eyes intelligence agencies found with “strong confidence” that Russia has recruited the veterans to train their citizens as well as “active duty military” via a European combat camp, as initially reported by The Telegraph earlier this month. The memo said the combat camp in northern Bulgaria, run by military training company Alfa-Metal, employs instructors from U.S. police forces and U.S. Navy SEALs, as well as instructors from other backgrounds—including the SAS and the Australian Commando Regiment. Alfa-Metal denied these allegations.…

Seattle Mayor Katie Hopkins has been getting a lot of criticism over her response (or lack thereof) to some high-profile shootings and violence in the city, and honestly, that criticism should only grow in the wake of the release of her new “gun violence” prevention plan. Instead of adopting a strategy of focused deterrence that would prioritize going after repeat violent offenders, Wilson’s plan calls for the passage of more gun control laws, using “gun violence interrupters” after a shooting has taken place, and targeting suspected violent offenders with “red flag” orders instead of prosecutions, along with…

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis presides over a state that is kind of schizophrenic on guns. They are pretty pro-gun in a lot of ways, yet they passed the post-Parkland gun control laws and can’t seem to get them repealed. Still, they got permitless carry, then the courts handed them true constitutional carry, so it’s a state that won’t allow a 20-year-old soldier to buy an AR-15 to take to a private range, but adults can carry handguns without a permit. Weird.And now, we’ve got a second annual Second Amendment sales tax holiday from the good…
A VA loan is one of the most valuable benefits you can earn through military service, letting eligible borrowers buy a home with no money down and often better terms than a conventional loan. Even so, a surprising number of myths still keep veterans, active duty service members, and their families from taking advantage of it, or lead them to think they don’t qualify when they actually do. From assumptions about foreclosed properties to confusion over who’s eligible, these misconceptions can cost you money and opportunity. Here’s the truth behind five of the most common VA loan myths, so you…
When you own a company, insurance is just part of the cost of doing business. You could theoretically skip it in a lot of instances, but then you’re screwed the moment you need it and don’t have it. However, everyone also knows that insurance companies don’t make money when they pay out claims. As a result, they try to avoid it as much as possible.For KM Tactical, that’s causing some problems. See, they sell parts for privately manufactured firearms. They need a payout because of New York state law. They’re not getting it.A federal judge…
Veterans have a higher rate of earlier and more severe cases of hearing loss and tinnitus, a new report has found. A study by researchers from the University of California School of Health Sciences and the Veteran Affairs San Diego Healthcare System published by found that 85.7% of veterans they studied had hearing loss and 47.6% had tinnitus. This research comes as lawmakers and veterans service organizations debate a critical component of major legislation circulating Congress. Section 108 of the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act (TCAVA) proposes to overhaul VA disability evaluations for sleep apnea and tinnitus, to offset…
One of the most common questions military families have is whether Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) covers combat deaths. The answer is yes. Unlike many civilian policies that may contain war or hazardous-duty exclusions, SGLI was specifically designed to protect military members, including those serving in combat zones, training environments, and high-risk deployments. SGLI can pay benefits for combat-related deaths, terrorist attacks, military accidents, and other service-connected incidents. Understanding how the coverage works, including exclusions myths and beneficiary rules, can help you avoid costly mistakes and maintain financial protection during and after service. Does SGLI Cover Combat Death? Yes, SGLI…
A lawsuit backed by the legal arm of the gun control group Everytown that claims gunmaker Smith & Wesson and two other companies are liable for the mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois has now drawn in popular GunTuber and attorney James Reeves, who says he’s now been subpoenaed with demands for “years of info and analytics” about any of his videos involving Smith & Wesson products. I was just subpoenaed in an anti-gun lawsuit…for being a guntuber. Link to the lawsuit is below. The case is Roberts v. Smith & Wesson, and it’s the…
Ever have someone find out how many guns you own, then ask why you think you need so many guns? You may not even have that many, but if it’s more than one, you somehow have too many. After all, they might say, you can only shoot one gun at a time. To that, I reply, “Yeah, then explain two-gun mojo, baby.” I’ll also point out that how many I can shoot is irrelevant when it comes to the matter of rights.What’s interesting, though, is that many of these same people think gun rationing is…
A Republican lawmaker has forced a House vote this week to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war in Iran. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, a vocal critic of his party’s policies who earlier this year lost his GOP primary when President Donald Trump endorsed his opponent, read the articles of impeachment on the House floor on Tuesday. He introduced the resolution as privileged, which under House rules forces a floor vote within two legislative days. Massie invoked a procedural maneuver that bypasses party leadership and puts some of his fellow Republicans in a difficult position weeks before the…

The NRA Range Technical Team is a program put on by the National Rifle Association for the benefit of advancing the Second Amendment. This program comes at no cost to those seeking help, except for on-site range evaluations that require an advisor. The team is responsible for helping facilities in everything having to do with running a range and/or gun club. The NRA’s Range Technical…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States has confirmed for the first time that it has deployed weapons in space, a remarkable revelation after previous warnings about countries such as Russia possibly weaponizing a global frontier long agreed in treaties to be used for only peaceful purposes. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink told the Air and Space Cyber Conference in Maryland on Monday that the U.S. has fielded “on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the Joint Force against hostile adversary action.” Meink did not detail what the weapons were, how they work or if they were targeting other objects in…
