A few months ago, I decided to try buying a nonstick pan to make eggs. I thought I’d give it a try for convenience. I chose a well-rated, mid-priced pan. Today, after using it for a few months, I noticed pits on the surface, even though I had been careful…

With all of the barriers that anti-gun jurisdictions put in the way of residents trying to exercise their constitutional rights, it’s nice to see some sheriffs out there going above and beyond to make sure that getting a concealed carry license is as easy as possible.  …

From the first memories I have of hunting talk, I was always told to never hunt alone. I was told it was too dangerous and just downright foolish to go into the mountains by myself. So, that’s how I lived my life into early adulthood. Stifled and scared of Mother…

We’ve been covering the Schoenthal v. Raoul case for several years here at Bearing Arms, but it looks like the case challenging the carry ban on Illinois public transit may soon come to an unsatisfying conclusion.  Last week SCOTUS pulled the case from consideration in its…

A mere 2 days before the Bassmaster Classic, I found myself sitting in a Kentucky whisky distillery of all places, listening to a new product presentation. Berkley had brought in a host of outdoor media folks to showcase a much hyped, but somewhat guarded, new line of baits. All I…
