I have a love-hate relationship with Mel Gibson’s film, “The Patriot.” On the one hand, it’s a highly entertaining movie about a topic virtually untouched by Hollywood. On the other, the movie is so replete with historical inaccuracies that one viewing is enough to send even the moderately educated history enthusiast into violent, mouth-frothing convulsions. But, the simple fact is that “The Patriot” is likely representative of the general view of the American Revolution. Though Americans live, work and play in a nation that directly resulted from the events of 1776 and beyond, 250 years removed, the actual details of…

00:00:05 Speaker 1: Welcome to this bonus drop episode of Backwoods University. I’m your host, Lake Pickle, and on today’s episode, we’re going to take a sharp topic turn and discuss a place and a subject that we have yet to cover on this show, the anti poaching in the continent of Africa. Now, I will give you a little bit of foreshadowing. We’ll be taking a deeper dive into Africa and its wildlife and its wild places further down the line, because I am so fascinated by that continent and all the diverse wildlife that it has in it.…

Armed Citizen® Today On June 7, a woman was walking with her two dogs through a wilderness area to gather mushrooms near Skilak Lake, Alaska, when she heard a warning yelp and then painful screeching, followed by a loud roar. She charged into the dense vegetation, screaming for her dogs, and suddenly saw a black bear only about 5 feet away with blood dripping from its face. The bear was coming toward her, so the woman drew her firearm—a Glock 43 (9 mm)—and fired. The bear dropped long enough for her to see that her dog was still alive but…

This year at SHOT Show, accessory manufacturer U.S. Palm announced that it would be branching out to offer its own line of firearms and suppressors. Continuing with the company’s hurricane theme, the new line of suppressors are called “Eye of the Storm” (EOS) Series. The new suppressors are 3D-printed, low-back-pressure designs that are intended for serious use. This year, U.S. Palm introduced a line of AR-type rifles and handguns and a suppressor lineup. EOS suppressors are available in four different models, each tailored for a very specific purpose. The EOS-AK fits within the other accessories that U.S. Palm makes for…

One of the classic 20th century American rifle designs is the Ruger Mini-14, and despite the proliferation of AR-style rifles and other semi-automatic platforms, the Mini-14 soldiers on, more than 50 years since its introduction. While it’s a solid rifle in its own right, the popularity of the Mini-14 has to be partially attributed to its presence in popular culture, most notably as one of the chosen firearms for “The A-Team,” a popular ’80s action series. Today, the Mini-14 is still in production, and with approximately 3 million made, there are plenty out on the market, so understandably, it has…

In a 6-3 rebuke of Hawaii’s attempt to circumvent the U.S. Supreme Court’s NRA-backed Bruen (2022) decision, the Court ruled in Wolford v. Lopez that “Hawaii’s law prohibiting licensed concealed-carry permit holders from carrying handguns on private property open to the public without the property owner’s express authorization violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments.” The majority opinion was written by Justice Samuel Alito, a President George W. Bush nominee to the Supreme Court. The majority opinion is concise: “The restrictions imposed by Hawaii’s challenged law fall within the plain text of the Second Amendment, so the law is presumptively unconstitutional.”…
