A crime study from John Lott, founder and president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, and Carlisle E. Moody, professor of economics, emeritus with the College of William and Mary, indicates that armed citizens are better at stopping mass killers than the police. This data runs counter to mainstream-news narratives. Indeed, when concealed carry comes up in public debate, gun-control groups and the media members who repeat their talking points claim that we can’t trust everyday Americans with this constitutionally protected right. They say, if citizens can carry concealed guns, we’ll have “Wild West shootouts” on the streets. They also…

00:00:00 Speaker 1: I think training with other people, training with your spouse, training with the person you’re gonna hunt with, or going to a gym is incredibly beneficial. The accountability part of it, the pushing part of it, the community side of it, are really hard to replicate. When you’re doing it by yourself, you’re gonna push harder. When you’re doing it with somebody, you’re gonna be held accountable, and then it’s just more fun. And so those are big pushes. But hey, if you need a stepping stone to get it startup, man, get some stuff to your…

A lawsuit filed by Calif. Att. Gen. Rob Bonta and San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu is targeting the Gatalog Foundation Inc. and CTRLPEW LLC.

He explains in this video interview that what they call “Gatalog” is just hobbyists who found each other on the internet. They are not selling guns. They are talking about…

The mid-19th century was a period of great evolution for both firearms and ammunition, and the U.S. military reaped the benefits of these technological leaps. The Army would enter the 19th century equipped with a smoothbore flintlock musket that differed little from the designs of the past, and it would exit the century with a modern, bolt-action, repeating rifle that used smokeless powder ammunition. Watch our “American Rifleman Television” feature segment above to see how U.S. Army small arms evolved from the dawn of the Civil War to the beginning of the 20th century. “Of course, rifles had been used…

Winter is a hard time to be an angler. Unless you’re super into ice fishing or can afford a guided trip to a tropical climate, for the most part, we look at the coldest season of the year as something that must simply be endured. Locked in a cold, gray haze that reflects the weather, we sit and wait for spring by staring longingly out the window like a dog waiting for its master to come home because it desperately needs to be let out. It doesn’t have to be this way, because even in the darkest part of winter,…

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and that couldn’t be more true for Ross Gomez of Post, Texas, who reeled in a 14.74 lb. largemouth bass on the evening of January 22, 2026. But the real story isn’t just the size of the fish; it’s the fact that Gomez had already caught the same bass twice before.Back in 2023, Gomez was targeting crappie of a public dock at Lake Alan Henry when he hooked into the then 13.22 lb. fish.
