However, most of these have been patriotically themed versions of currently made guns. But as a gunwriter who has primarily based his decades-long shooting…

Even given the unconscionable history of gun control, the law banning concealed carry in and within 100 yards of houses of worship and other public assemblies in Montgomery County, Md., is particularly disturbing. In this episode of the NRA The Armed Citizen Podcast, J. Menashe Shapiro, a law student helping the Silver Spring Jewish Center who is also a rabbi, was asked if the county’s attorneys were at least embarrassed about disarming, in this case, Jews at a time when antisemitism is so often raising its ugly head in the public square. “In so many ways, the county attorneys have…

At SHOT Show 2026, Ruger announced two new entries into the American Rifle lineup: the Gen II Scout and Gen II Patrol. Originally released in 2011, the American rifles represent a fantastic balance of cost and performance and frequently top the short lists of suggested first bolt-actions.

It was already 80 degrees before the sun peeked over the horizon. I had sweat rolling like the Mississippi between my shoulder blades, but that wasn’t even the worst of it. A cloud of mosquitoes found me, buzzing in from off the pond like a formation of B-52 bombers taking aim at their target—me.Early season deer hunting in the South is a special kind of misery. It’s hot and humid, and you sweat in places you didn’t know you could sweat. Plus, the bugs are still partying like it’s midsummer. Somewhere around the tenth mosquito bite, it’s easy to start…

Though the company is best known for its AR-15 components and complete firearms, North Carolina’s Bear Creek Arsenal also makes 10/22-pattern rimfires and handguns. New for 2026, it is introducing its first AK-pattern firearm with the BC-47. Bear Creek Arsenal has been producing AK barrels for other manufacturers for years, so it only made sense that they would start producing the rest of the firearms. Bear Creek Arsenal is no stranger to the AK market, having built barrels for other AK manufacturers for years. The company’s new BC-47, unsurprisingly, is built around one of its own barrels chambered in 7.62×39…
