No reinvention. No gimmicks. Just…

On Monday, the Supreme Court turned away a challenge to the Illinois law prohibiting lawful carry on public transportation, meaning the Chicago Transit Authority will remain “gun-free”, at least in theory, for the foreseeable future.  Yes, I’m still salty about SCOTUS denying cert in Schoenthal…

For a long time, I’ve ascribed to the idea that if you don’t want to go to prison, you shouldn’t break the law. To be sure, that’s an important first step, to say the least, but we all know that’s never been enough. Still, most of the cases of…

It took nearly four months to reach his conclusion, but DeKalb County, Tennessee District Attorney Bryant Dunaway has officially declared a shooting last December to be a justifiable use of force. Given the circumstances, I’m not sure why it took so long to come to that conclusion, but based…

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been a little hard on Benchmade’s breadwinning folder, the Bugout. After all, it’s an excellent lightweight, light-duty knife that’s really made a name for itself in the outdoor world. However, I need a knife that goes the extra mile and takes a…

Imagine that you created something that was a bit of a breakthrough in a given field. It changed a lot of things and the products you developed from that breakthrough became the most popular models in your industry. Now, picture a third party figured out…

Things are moving fast in Virginia. According to Gun Owners of America, lawmakers pushed more than 15 gun control bills in just 60 days and some of the biggest ones are now front and center. The focus? Two bills, SB 749 and HB 217, that would ban a wide range…

I’ve talked a fair bit about how bad gun research is when it comes out of either academia or the activist bunch at places like Everytown. Cam started it back in 2022. The next year, I talked about self-censorship in academia, where research that doesn’t conform to the narrative…

Mia Jones swept some of the biggest competitions in snowboarding this winter — and she’s just getting started.

This one almost sounds fake. But it’s not. According to a breakdown from Colion Noir, a man in Alabama is now facing federal gun charges after posting a video to Instagram during a Mardi Gras event and unknowingly handing the feds everything they needed. The setup? A deadly shooting during…

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows, but that hasn’t seemed to be the case lately. The lines are drawn, and few people are crossing them without facing some degree of repercussions. Some of those are deserved, while some are less so. Still, there are…

The necessities of climbing apparel change drastically as soon as you’re on the wall for several hours. Like many climbers, I learned this lesson the hard way during my first multi-pitch climb many years ago on a 500-foot wall near Buena Vista, Colo. My partner and I were both new…

Turkey vests have a funny way of turning into junk drawers. You start the season thinking you’ll carry just the essentials. By the third hunt, you’ve got extra calls you don’t use, old snacks you forgot about, and at least one pocket full of old wrappers and other crap you…

It’s been almost six decades since Jim Seibert served in Vietnam, but he can still recall his harrowing experience with vivid detail and emotion.  It’s not exactly an easy thing to forget. Spending a year in the rigorous Central Highlands, surviving booby traps, gunshot wounds, and the threat of attack on…
