First responders in Phoenix are accustomed to frequent rescues of hikers, who often underestimate the Southwestern city’s infamous heat. But this weekend saw a hiker in need of emergency rescue for a very different reason: an attack from a swarm of bees. According to the Phoenix Fire Department, an unidentified…

While I use the term “AI” on a regular basis, I don’t really like it. What we have may look a lot like AI, but it’s really not. There’s no actual intelligence there. It’s just a program that makes a really decent search engine that has figured out how…

When an unimaginable situation suddenly becomes real, it’s easy to understand proper protection. Seeing is believing, especially when it comes to carrying pepper spray — and actually putting it to critical use in the field. And when Curtis Matwishyn saw a black bear in Saskatchewan’s Waskesiu–Prince Albert National Park, he…

The Supreme Court once again took no action on the five different cases involving bans on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines in its orders released on Monday, which is frustrating enough for gun owners. To make things worse, the Court denied cert to Schoenthal v. Raoul; the…

The Stio Skyrider gives homage to the brand’s Western heritage — and at less than half the price of Stio’s other ski jackets, it comes at a value. Many hardshells on the market look nearly identical to each other: sleek, technical, and potentially a little blocky. Not all, of course,…

A three-judge panel on the First Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned a preliminary injunction against Maine’s 72-hour waiting period on most gun sales, claiming the law doesn’t actually implicate the Second Amendment at all.  The district court judge had concluded that acquiring a firearm…

Sightmark’s Shade 3.5-28×30 thermal scope zeroed fast, grouped tight, and delivered the kind of real-world night-hunting performance that makes a $999.97 price tag look downright dangerous to the competition. The $1K Thermal Scope That Zeroed Fast and Shot Tight At 50 yards in the daylight, I set the palette on…

The Mauser Karabiner 98k is not some dusty museum prop that only matters to collectors. It is a hard-kicking, history-soaked bolt gun that still shows exactly why the Mauser action became the gold standard for combat rifles and hunting rifles alike. Why the Mauser Karabiner 98k Still Belongs on Your…

The Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 is not just another striker-fired 9mm trying to chase the usual names. After range time, carry time, and real instructor use, this pistol proved flat-shooting, reliable, optics-ready, and good enough to make a longtime Glock carrier reach for something else. The service-sized handgun is…

The American-made Charles Daly Honcho looks like a budget-minded 12-gauge bruiser built for tight spaces and rough work. But once the shooting starts, this compact pump reveals a split personality: smoother and better finished than expected, yet still saddled with reliability issues serious enough to kill the deal.https://gunsamerica.com/listings/search Charles Daly…

From samurai roots to the gallows, this is Hideki Tojo’s fanatic rise, failed suicide with an 8mm Nambu, and the wild “Remember Pearl Harbor” denture secret that rode with him to trial. World War 2’s Scale: A Global Fire That Scarred Everyone The Second World War was the bloodiest, most…
