In March, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) celebrated a major milestone. It purchased 45 all-terrain, electric-powered wheelchairs so that everyone could get out and enjoy the outdoors. It was a huge step toward adaptive access to Indiana’s public lands and a major investment. Each chair is valued at nearly $20,000. On April 30, less than a month after the program launched, thieves broke into storage and stole two of these all-terrain wheelchairs. Indiana police are investigating the crime. They are currently seeking any leads that could help identify the perpetrators. GearJunkie reached out to Indiana DNR for comment,…
Russia has begun implementing border controls and other measures to keep hantavirus at bay. These precautions aim to prevent the potential spread of the deadly Andes hantavirus strain, the country’s public health watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, has said. As a precaution, “Rospotrebnadzor – together with the Russian Border Service – has taken measures to strengthen border controls,” it said. Automated information systems are being used at the border to assess and minimize risks, it added, according to a report by RT. This current outbreak was discussed during a Rospotrebnadzor video conference on Tuesday, where the discussion centered on preventative measures. Hantaviruses are…
No matter how prepared you might be when you go camping, you’re still vulnerable in a tent, camper, or van. Hungry bears, hostile humans, and even flesh-eating zombies could be lurking. And a thin nylon wall or plywood siding isn’t going to stop them if they’re intent on getting to you. Camping shelters protect you from the elements, and that’s about it. Except for the Mammoth Overland Xtinction Level Escape (XLE) camper. This 18-foot, 4.2-inch, 4,300-pound behemoth tow-along trailer is complete with bulletproof glass, deployable flare guns, remote-activated “sonic defense” and “quad bear defense” systems, 360-degree night-vision CCTV, and much,…
Democrats in Massachusetts are scrambling for political cover after a repeat, violent felon managed to evade the state’s restrictive gun control laws and get his hands on a rifle this week, using it to fire dozens of rounds at motorists in Cambridge before he was stopped by an armed citizen and a Massachusetts state trooper. As the Gun Owners Action League reports, some Democrats are demanding new laws in response; not to make it easier for lawful citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights, but to make violent crime even more illegal. “The only law that…
Everybody knows Call of Duty, Halo, Half-Life 2, and Bad Company 2, but plenty of great FPS games have become forgotten over time, destined to only appear in these types of articles as memories by someone who loves to track down gems from yesteryear. There are many reasons a video game masterpiece might never attract the attention it deserves or slip through the cracks in time, and quite a few of these titles have not been properly preserved and made easily accessible to a modern audience. The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay One Of The Greatest FPS Movie…
Hitch bike racks are arguably the easiest, safest way to transport bikes to a trailhead or campout. Based in Colorado, lead tester Eric Phillips has spent hundreds of hours testing five hitch racks with a variety of mountain bikes and electric bikes over the past six months including local circuits and a road trip to Utah. After thousands of hours of testing on racks since 2022, it’s clear that the 2-bike Küat Piston Pro X sets the bar among plush designs, with hydraulically actuated wheel clamps, LED lights, and robust security features. Meanwhile, the 2-bike Küat Piston Ion offers a 100-pound…
President Donald Trump’s feud with Pope Leo XIV has evolved beyond disagreements over Iran and military escalation into a broader ideological and political clash involving immigration, Catholic theology, humanitarian policy and growing tensions between the White House and the Vatican over the direction of U.S. foreign policy and moral leadership. The increasingly public dispute involving Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and senior Vatican officials has transformed into one of the most consequential confrontations between a U.S. administration and the Catholic Church in years, forcing the White House into an increasingly delicate balancing act as the…
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger ran as a moderate Democrat. She made a lot of campaign promises and has already turned her back on pretty much all of them. Rather than focusing on affordability, as she and her fellow Dems promised, they immediately went to work on gerrymandering the state and passing gun control. They gerrymandering thing blew up in their faces, but gun control? They can still do that, for now at least, and Spanberger took the last step on two controversial measures.That’s right, Virginia has an assault weapon ban and a magazine limit.irginia Gov.…
Armed Forces Day falls on the third Saturday of May every year, and it is the one day on the American calendar specifically set aside to honor the men and women currently serving in uniform — not veterans who have come home, not the fallen who gave everything, but the approximately 1.34 million active-duty service members on duty right now, stationed across six continents, doing the work while most of the country goes about its Saturday. For 2026, Armed Forces Day is Saturday, May 16. Most people could not tell you that. Armed Forces Day gets lost in the shadow…

When it comes to spending your hard-earned dollars on soft goods for your range trips, there’s no shortage of manufacturers out there to choose from. Unless you want to roll the dice on some sweatshop bags from Amazon, your options boil down to choosing a long-established brand or a somewhat newer competitor who has nonetheless garnered a solid reputation.

Upset with the Trump Administration over what sometimes seems like only lip service to the Second Amendment, 33 U.S. House members have sent President Donald Trump a letter urging him to live up to his promise of restoring the Second Amendment and outlining what the next attorney general should do to win back gun owners’ support. Led by Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Georgia, the Republican lawmakers called on Trump to take three specific actions: immediately cease enforcement of Biden-era gun rules and secure permanent—not temporary—relief, stop defending unconstitutional gun laws in court and rein in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms…
BB guns are a part of life here in the South. It’s a low-risk way to introduce basic marksmanship and gun safety, plus they’re just a lot of fun to plink with. Make it a pellet gun, and it’s another option for hunting small game that’s super quiet and also relatively low risk, though the risk is greater than with the pure BB gun. Because they’re gun-shaped, though, it seems New York wants to go after them.And the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Affairs is going after New York over it.Anti-gun lawmakers in the Empire State…
Ice covered the pond as we pulled up to unload our duck hunting gear. Winter had its cold fingers gripped around northeast Oklahoma this morning. With temps near zero, this was the perfect time to test my new Cross Point Gear Mountain Socks and Pro Wool Gloves. I’ve always found waterproof gloves to be too cumbersome to do anything productive while wearing them. They’re too bulky to operate my phone, shotgun, duck calls, or anything else that requires fine motor skills. Don’t even get me started about how many times my feet have gotten wet and cold. (No, not at…
It can often take months for prosecutors to decide whether or not to pursue charges in a shooting where the person who pulled the trigger acted in self-defense and defense of others, even when the circumstances appear to be pretty cut and dried. So, the fact that prosecutors in Wayne County have already decided that an April 19 shooting was a justified use of force is pretty incredible, especially since three people were killed in the shooting. The facts in favor of the armed citizen must be pretty compelling for prosecutors to swiftly conclude he…
This article was originally published by Ryan McMacken at The Mises Institute. Donald Trump ran for the presidency as a populist, and he won as a populist. All the usual suspects—such as Hillary Clinton—condemned him as a populist. The political playbook his campaign followed served up the typical populist fare for the voters. That is, Trump promised to serve the “common people” by fighting against the ruling class, “draining the swamp,” punishing the corrupt, ending the government gravy train, and generally throwing a monkey wrench in the whole ruling class’s machine of exploitation. But now, with nearly three years still…
It’s impossible to say when the first bricks were made, but the walls of ancient cities have been found and determined to be thousands of years old. The walls of Jericho were dated at 7,000 years old and made of brick. Bricks throughout history have been made from a variety of materials mostly determined by what was available in any given area and its ability to bind and dry into a strong, workable form. The ancient Egyptians were known for their stonework when constructing the pyramids and the sphinx, but their bricks were used to construct mostly homes and smaller…
The Scottish girl brandishing an axe and a big old knife in a viral video kind of took over the world and became something of a rallying point for those who oppose the UK’s ridiculous immigration policies. After all, the girl in question claimed two such “immigrants” were up to nefarious things, including making sexual comments to the girl and her sister. Well, the two were put on trial, finally, and the axe girl took the stand.The accused have since been identified as 22-year-old Ilia Belov and 20-year-old Nadjedzha Belova; both were charged with violent…
Images by the author Reloaders like to control all aspects of their craft – this I know from first-hand experience. From sourcing components like cases, bullets, powder, primers, etc., to getting things ready to go to “press”, the more control you have over things, the better. Nowhere is that more true than with case preparation. You cannot create top-quality reloads without having a good foundation for them to begin with. Cartridge cases comprise that foundation. Good quality cases are necessary to create uniform, consistent loads regardless of caliber or purpose. Whether you are blasting steel targets, running tactical courses, or…
