A defensive shooting in Atascocita, Texas, has sparked national debate after an off-duty Harris County Sheriff’s deputy opened fire on a man who allegedly tried to get into his car while his baby sat in the back seat. According to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the shooting happened around 2:45 p.m. Friday when the deputy had just secured his child in a car seat. Authorities say 27-year-old Darius Williams approached and attempted to enter…
A suspicious package forced part of Joint Base Andrews to clear out on Friday after seven people felt ill.A base spokesperson told Military.com the package included “negative sentiments towards the President and his actions” but no specific threats toward him or any other official. The package was opened inside a base facility last Thursday. Fire crews, hazmat teams and military investigators filled the base and sealed off the building. Emergency teams evacuated that building and the one connected to it, while everyone who reported symptoms was checked by base medical staff and released.Bioenvironmental engineers and explosive technicians tested the area for…
I’ve got a thing for mouse guns. I know they’ve got their limitations and are best suited as backups, or backups to backups, but I still like them. I’ve always had a few in my inventory, but the .22 Magnum North American Arms Sentinel is one I’ve been waiting on for a long time. Decades of Mini Revolvers When I first turned 21, over 30 years ago, one of the first guns I bought was a North American Arms (NAA) .22 Magnum mini-revolver. It was a well-made little gun, and I carried it in a pocket holster quite a bit. I…
It’s one of those Hollywood rumors that’s refused to die: that Charlie Sheen somehow “shot” his then-fiancée Kelly Preston back in the early ‘90s. But on The Adam Carolla Show, Sheen finally walked listeners through exactly what happened that day in Malibu, and it’s a far cry from what tabloids ran with for decades. Here’s the full interview. The Preston incident starts around 1:10:00 minutes in. “I used to carry a little revolver in my back pocket,” Sheen said. The weapon had sat in his jeans long enough to leave a permanent outline, and when he got home that day,…
Veterans Day usually brings parades, salutes, rifle volleys and crowds lining sidewalks from coast to coast. This year is different as the federal government shutdown is turning patriotic traditions into cancellations.Communities that typically deck streets with flags are scrapping ceremonies. National cemeteries that host quiet tributes are going silent. Universities that normally stage ROTC vigils are telling cadets to stand down. This is a result of what has been the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, which could soon be over due to eight Senate Democrats crossing the partisan aisle Sunday evening and reaching a deal with Republican leaders in…
Ski season is here, the resorts are opening, and if you haven’t bought a season pass yet, your time is running out — at least, for the Epic Pass. Vail Resorts announced that on Nov. 16, the Epic Pass will be pulled from sale. That leaves any prospective (procrastinator) buyers less than 1 week to pull the trigger. So far, among Vail’s resort family, Keystone and Breckenridge have already opened their slopes. Vail is projected to open on Nov. 14, Park City on Nov. 21, and Beaver Creek and Crested Butte both on Nov. 23. For more projected opening dates for the…
I grew up on a steady stream of books that contained not only really great information, but a lot of high-quality pictures. I could probably spend hours reading and looking at Stephen Biesty’s Incredible Cross-Sections. These days, however, I’ve come to really appreciate the more historically oriented coffee table books that Headstamp Publishing has been putting out. Their latest book, authored by Forgotten Weapons’ Ian McCollum, Forged in Snow: Finnish Small Arms 1917-2025, is available now through their Kickstarter campaign, which has already fulfilled its funding goal, a mere 6 hours into it. Forged in Snow: Finnish Small Arms 1917…
From dawn patrol corduroy to hidden powder stashes, the best women’s all-mountain skis are made for skiers who want to do it all. These quiver-of-one workhorses thrive on everything the mountain throws at you — smooth groomers, wind-buffed ridges, or surprise tree runs with friends. We tested the top contenders in everything from knee-deep powder to East Coast ice, skiing hard at Stowe in Vermont, Jackson Hole in Wyoming, Utah’s Powder Mountain, and more than half a dozen Idaho resorts. What follows is our A-List, the cream of the crop for women’s all-mountain skis. Whether you’re chasing the all-around excellence…
I’ve long said that if you want mandatory gun safety training for people to exercise their Second Amendment rights, rather than mandating it before a purchase, mandate it as part of the school curriculum so that everyone gets it that way, and it’s not a barrier to buying a firearm lawfully. Most of the states that want mandatory training, though, aren’t exactly the kind of states that will embrace gun training of any kind in public schools.But some other states looked at it rather differently.Now, three require it.This school year, students in elementary, middle and…

Anti-gun organizations have tried to paint the National Rifle Association as a dangerous entity, and some gun control advocates have acted like each member of the group is really just a terrorist or murderer in the making. This despite no evidence beyond just not favoring gun control. Yet, as you may have known, Everytown for Gun Safety endorsed anti-gun attorney general candidate Jay Jones. Jones, however, is embroiled in controversy because, well, it’s an absolute piece of fly dung who wants to kill his enemies and see their children murdered just because they don’t see…
Will the fourth time be the charm for a bill in Florida repealing the prohibition on retail gun sales to adults under the age of 21, or will Senate Republicans once again block the legislation from getting to Gov. Ron DeSantis’s desk for his signature? Rep. Tyler Sirois is running the latest iteration of a bill that has passed the Florida House three years in a row, only to be stymied by a Republican Senate President who has blocked the legislation from moving forward in the upper chamber. Both former Senate President Kathleen Passidomo and…
Governor Gavin Newsom has signed yet another piece of “first-in-the-nation” gun control into law — this time targeting handguns that can allegedly be “easily converted” into fully automatic weapons. Assembly Bill 1127, authored by Assembly members Jesse Gabriel and Catherine Stefani, bans California gun dealers from selling pistols that can accept illegal “Glock switches” or similar conversion devices, items that are already banned under federal law and carry serious criminal penalties for possession or use. While gun control groups like Everytown for Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action, and Students Demand Action are celebrating the new law as a “historic victory,”…
Your home is your fortress, and it is your first and most important line of defense against anyone who intends to do you harm.In the current world, locked doors and perhaps a home security system is more than enough to deter most burglars. However, disaster breeds desperation, and once the SHTF, many people will be willing to work a lot harder to enter a home if they think there is anything worth stealing inside.Before disaster strikes, it’s important to have a plan in place for how to fortify your home in order to protect against burglars and looters. In this…
In my search for reliable, convenient, and casual women’s winter boots, the Bogs Arcata Faded stood out for a big reason: They don’t feel like a budget pick. But they’re one of the lowest-priced boots I’ve tested and loved. This waterproof, pull-on winter boot blends a utility design with the slide-in ease of a rain boot and the cozy function of a modern snow boot. From insulation to traction, the Arcata Faded nails the basics and throws in several unique elements that set the boot apart. Despite being comfort-oriented, I’ve had countless women tap my shoulder or approach me in…
Let me start by clearing something up. Just because I don’t condemn marijuana use and think that those who use it while following state laws should be barred from owning a gun, it doesn’t mean I’m condoning or encouraging its use. I’m just someone who thinks people have a right to screw up their lives in their own way, and since marijuana users aren’t any more violent than any other group–they’re usually more chill than most, in my experience, which is actually a bit too chill, if you get my meaning–they shouldn’t be prohibited. I’ve…
This article was originally published by Zoey Sky at Natural News. Donald Trump was not awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, which instead went to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. Analysts see this as a direct rejection of Trump’s style of diplomacy and his self-proclaimed role as a top peacemaker. Trump’s long-standing desire for the prize was heavily driven by his frustration over his predecessor, Barack Obama, winning it in 2009. He viewed the Nobel as a symbol of validation that the “global elite” unfairly denied him. The White House had aggressively promoted Trump’s candidacy, pointing to nominations from…
Average new vehicle transaction prices have topped $50,000 for the first time. The average transaction price of a new car or truck topped that milestone in September, highlighting the rising costs of getting into a new set of wheels. At least that transaction price isn’t as high as the window sticker asks, which hit even higher levels in the same month. New Car Season Means New Sticker Shocks (Photo/Cadillac) The spike comes at the usual time of year: new car season. As 2026 model year vehicles arrive at dealers, the average price of a vehicle climbs. You can see the…
