California’s first microstamping law was signed way back in 2007, requiring all semi-automatic handguns in the state to imprint serial numbers onto two distinct locations on spent cartridge casings. Despite objections from gun makers that this was a practical impossibility and that a microstamped firing pin could be easily modified or destroyed, the state moved forward with enforcing the law, which led to an effective freeze on new semi-automatic handguns being certified for sale in the Golden State. Democrat lawmakers relented in 2023, modifying the law to require microstamping on just one location on shell…
The modular engineering method in modern car manufacturing is the equivalent of Lego bricks. The same underpinnings can be resized, beefed up, and tweaked to accommodate anything from your yoga instructor’s Prius to the flame-spitting GR Corolla without starting over from scratch. The wasteful era of disposable vehicle platforms is over. Driven by skyrocketing development costs, rapid technological changes, and the need for global manufacturing agility, clean-sheet redesigns are becoming a thing of the past as modern architectures underpinning everything from the Porsche 911 to the Toyota Camry to the Dodge Charger can now stretch, widen, and adapt across multiple…
I stepped off the short trail from my campsite above Granby Lake in Colorado and pushed the tailswitch of the NITECORE P27iX. The smooth, modest light I’d used to navigate the rocky slope exploded in output, suddenly zapping into the night with an astounding 5,000 lumens. I quickly traced the shoreline, looking down 100 feet to the water’s edge in the drought-lowered reservoir. I scanned the beach for hundreds of feet to my right, finally losing sight of it where a ridge blocked my view. Satisfied I was alone on the shoreline, I tapped the front “duty switch” button and…
Earlier this week, I echoed a call to make your voice heard with regard to the ATF’s proposed rule changes. I think this is important as the last thing we need to do is make anti-gunners’ jobs any easier. While they’re engaged in fearmongering and hysteria, cooler heads need to weigh in. I still need to practice what I preach, admittedly, because as I write this, I haven’t actually done it myself — when I finish writing for the day, I plan on fixing that — but that doesn’t make it less important.And, thankfully, someone…
Remains belonging to a Korean War veteran are being returned home to Taunton, Mass., more than 70 years after he went missing during the conflict. U.S. Army Cpl. Normal Ronald Levesque, who went missing aged 18, will be returned by state and local police on Wednesday after police identified his remains last year, according to The Boston Globe. There will be a procession in the city to honor him in addition to an Aug. 14 graveside service, where Levesque will be laid to rest with full military honors. The Korean War began when North Korea, with indirect support from Communist…
As of August 1, it’s a lot harder to purchase an AR-15 in Colorado than it used to be. Prospective buyers have to obtain a Firearms Safety Course Eligibility Card from a county sheriff and undergo a four- or 12-hour training class (depending on whether or not they’ve taken a hunter education course in the past five years) before they can purchase some of the most popular firearms around. Under the law, sheriffs can charge whatever they’d like for processing the eligibility card applications. Some sheriffs, like El Paso County Sheriff Jospeh Roybal, have said…
President Donald Trump’s administration has detained dozens of parents and spouses of active-duty U.S. troops as it rolls back immigration protections for military families to pursue its mass deportation agenda, an Associated Press investigation found. More than 50 parents and spouses of active-duty service members have been detained since Trump took office for a second term, and at least six have been deported, the AP found in the first accounting of such detentions, which the government does not track. At least eight immediate family members of U.S. service members remain in federal immigration custody. Parents and spouses of people in…
New details are being rolled out about the nation’s first museum dedicated to the Coast Guard, opening one year from today. The U.S. Coast Guard on Tuesday announced that the National Coast Guard Museum, described as a museum “dedicated to preserving and sharing the history, heritage and enduring missions” of the service, will open to the public during the week of Aug. 2, 2027, two days prior to the Coast Guard’s Aug. 4. The museum, currently being built along the Thames River waterfront in New London, Conn., will consist of 80,000 square feet and reportedly feature five public decks with…
One of the perks of military life that helps offset such expenses as moving every two years and deployments is the tax-free shopping service members and their families enjoy at the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES). This summer, depending on where you live, you might be able to double those savings as AAFES has announced it will offer an additional discount to match local tax savings around back-to-school, tax-free weekends. Yes, double. Military shoppers in states with sales-tax-free holidays can save at Exchanges with an in-store discount equal to their state’s sales tax rate during these promotional periods.…

Most prepper gets supplies at places like Walmart, Costco, dollar stores, flea markets, or Amazon, but there’s another store that has lots of great survival items: Tractor Supply Co. It is quietly one of the best-stocked and most affordable sources for survival gear you’ll find anywhere, and the fact that most preppers overlook it means the shelves are usually full and the prices are decent. The store was built to serve farmers, ranchers, and rural homeowners, which means its inventory skews heavily toward durable tools, outdoor equipment, and practical supplies, which are exactly the kinds of things preppers should be…
Women for Gun Rights may be one of the smaller 2A organizations in terms of membership, but they punch well above their weight when it comes to grassroots activism and passion for protecting our right to keep and bear arms. Kate Giddins, who is the group’s Northeast Regional Director and the former New Hampshire State Director of Women for Gun Rights, wasn’t brought up in the land of the free. As she writes in a powerful new op-ed, she grew up in Australia and thought she knew what freedom was all about, but was disabused…
The Chiappa Rhino 60 DS 10mm looks like a sci-fi prop, fires from the bottom chamber, and somehow makes full-power 10mm Auto feel far more civilized than it should. I ran it with defensive, hunting, and range ammo to see if the weird design is real engineering or just revolver theater. The Chiappa Rhino, pronounced “key-apa,” is a revolver with a twist: it fires out of the bottom chamber of the cylinder. This Rhino 60 DS fires the powerful 10mm cartridge, yet its design keeps recoil manageable. The Chiappa Rhino 60 DS Brings Bottom-Chamber Weirdness to 10mm The Chiappa Rhino…
I’m guilty. There are a lot of times that I simply dismiss a gun control push and say that there’s no way that particular state is going to embrace that particular proposal. The implication is that it can never happen, and that’s definitely not something I should be implying. No state remains in stasis forever. There are ebbs and flows, and when big money weighs in, nothing is guaranteed. And let’s understand that when you’ve got someone like George Soros ready to throw money, and a complicit media that’s all about keeping big money out…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was closed once again after a warning shot fired by its military struck a vessel using an unauthorized route in the critical waterway, further jeopardizing the already tenuous ceasefire agreement with the United States. U.S. Central Command said a short time later that its forces began a third round of strikes against Iran. There were explosions in Bandar Abbas and Sirik, two towns along the shores of the strait, Iran state media reported. “The United States is imposing a heavy cost by continuing to degrade Iran’s ability to…
The Gun Owners Action League is warning that Massachusetts residents could soon have to prove their marksmanship before being able to exercise their Second Amendment rights. Under the state’s sweeping gun control measure known as Chapter 135, every applicant for a License to Carry (which is required to simply possess a handgun in the home) must undergo a training course that requires both written and live-fire tests. The state’s Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS), the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services (DCJIS), and the Massachusetts State Police recently announced a public hearing to…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of President Donald Trump’s closest allies in Congress who traveled the globe to advocate for a more aggressive U.S. foreign policy, has died after a “brief and sudden illness,” his office said. He was 71. The statement posted on social media late Saturday did not provide any additional details about the South Carolina Republican, a former Air Force lawyer, and said his family “appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period.” “Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, is dead!”…
