I’m not unsympathetic to those who lost loved ones in mass murders. I’ve been there myself, and while it was a friend versus a family member, I can extrapolate what it’s like from what I’ve experienced to know it’s not something I’d wish on anyone. …

When I was in school as a wee lad all too many years ago, I remember being taught the difference between fact and opinion. A fact is something that can be verified, while an opinion can’t be. Fair enough, right?Unfortunately, no one told us to…

It should not be a shock when I say women are frequently disrespected in the 2A space simply for posting. They are told they are not strong enough, not smart enough, not capable enough to operate firearms.Social media comments often state that women should “just get a revolver” because they are simple to operate under stress.

Private property owners generally have the right to prohibit firearms on the premises if they so choose, but that right could soon be curtailed in Tennessee, at least when it comes to landlords.  According to a recent report by Rental Housing Journal, only four states have…

The best duffel bag will support your next three-month foray through Patagonia or a quick visit to your in-laws. Duffels are versatile pieces of luggage for anything on your travel tick list. Any duffel bag worth its salt needs to meet certain metrics. They must be sturdy enough to protect…

“Gun control works.”That’s the underlying message of everything that groups like Everytown, Giffords, or Brady push for. If it doesn’t work, why should anyone do it? Do they believe it works? Who knows. What we know is that they claim it does, and they can show plenty of studies…

Mercedes-Benz is about to launch the luxury van space in the U.S. Overlanding and camper vans, especially built on the 4×4 and AWD Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platforms, are nothing new. But it’s tough to call even the best-equipped Sprinter luxurious unless you’re comparing it to a tent. The new Mercedes-Benz VLE…

Last week a three-judge panel on the D.C. Court of Appeals (which is the highest local court in the District) ruled the District of Columbia’s ban on ammunition magazines that can hold more than ten rounds violates the Second Amendment. These magazines are “arms”, the court concluded, and they…

I stared into the bed of my pickup — loaded with two suitcases of clothes, essential outdoor gear, pet supplies, kitchen necessities, and a mountain bike — and saw a small open plot of real estate. I’d loaded up with everything I absolutely needed for a cross-country move and had room for…
