William English, an assistant professor at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, published the 2021 National Firearms Survey, which was a massive survey of 54,000 American armed citizens. He was later subpoenaed by a number of anti-gun attorneys general to turn over his research, attacked in The New York Times and by many other “mainstream” outlets and, basically, pilloried by the gun-control Left so loudly that he wrote an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal titled “Antigun Activists Ambushed Me.” In it, he said, “The survey outraged gun-control advocates, who believed it could hurt them in court. They proceeded…

Tommy Ballard refused to let his daughter’s disappearance fade away. After Crystal Rogers vanished in 2015, Ballard became the face of the search. He organized volunteers, worked with investigators, and publicly called out the man he believed was responsible.A year later, while hunting with his grandson, Ballard was shot and killed.The attack was precise. Intentional.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) posted proposed changes to form 4473 on May 8. If approved the modifications would make the required paperwork high-speed, low-drag compared to the current version by shaving three pages from the paperwork. It would eliminate a lot of the previous form’s confusing redundancy­, trimming questions for both the purchaser/transferee and FFL. Readers can get a look at what the draft version looks like here. Enthusiasts will not see it in use at FFLs anytime soon, however. The public comment period ends on Aug. 6, and approved changes will reflect in the…

There’s something deeply satisfying about coming home from a hunt with more than just meat in your game bag. Historically, hunters in the French countryside paired wild game with foraged mushrooms in a rustic preparation known as “Chasseur sauce,” which literally translates to “hunter’s sauce.”Today it’s typically made with chicken simmered directly in the sauce, but I prefer to treat wild turkey breast a little differently. Pan-roasting the breast gives it a beautifully browned crust while keeping the meat tender and juicy, and it leaves just enough fond in the skillet to build a quick mushroom sauce with white wine,…

I was lying on my stomach in the damp grass with a stock in my shoulder and my eye to the scope. An old college-ruled notebook was in front of me with a page full of what appeared to be the scribbles of a mad scientist, full of equations, graphs and scratched-out mistakes.

If I waited too long, all of those notes I took would mean nothing. If I were…
