Armed Citizen® Today In Garland, Texas, around 3:30 p.m. on May 3, a man driving a green car collided with two other cars. When all the vehicles pulled into a gas station to assess the damage, the man started pulling on the other vehicles’ door handles, successfully accessing one but failing to drive away in that vehicle. He then crossed the street to a convenience-store parking lot, confronting another driver after he got out of his vehicle. That driver still had five children in his car and defended against the attempted carjacking, struggling with the would-be robber and then shooting…

Some lucky deer hunter will eventually shoot a whitetail with antlers bigger than those atop the buck Milo Hanson killed Nov. 23, 1993, near his Saskatchewan farm.With a certified score of 213-5/8 inches, Hanson’s 14-point buck became the world-record “typical” whitetail during the Boone and Crockett Club’s 1995 awards ceremony. It bumped a 10-point buck from the top spot it held since its 1971 entry. That buck scored 206-1/8 inches, and was shot by Jim Jordan in 1914 near Danbury in northwestern Wisconsin.No hunter, however, will ever tell a better, more modest hunting story about a world-record buck than the…

On May 5,1865, the first US train robbery occured at North Bend, Ohio. — May 5, 1893: The Panic of 1893 caused a large crash on the New York Stock Exchange. — This is also the birthday of Pat Frank (1908-1964). This was the pen name of newspaper journalist Harry Hart Frank. His 1959 novel Alas, Babylon is a survivalist classic. His personal life was marred by alcoholism, but his writing is admired and still surprisingly popular. (Alas, Babylon is still in print, after 67 years!) As an homage to Pat Frank, one of the settings in my novel Expatriates…

Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. and Beretta Holding S.A. have announced a strategic cooperation agreement. This collaboration began last year as a contentious disagreement between the two companies—as of last March, Beretta Holding S.A., the Luxembourg-based parent of the iconic Italian gunmaker Beretta, had amassed a 9.95 percent stake in Ruger. To parry this, Ruger had adopted a one-year shareholder rights plan—commonly known as a “poison pill.” The poison pill, if Beretta or another stakeholder attained 10 percent or more of its stock, would basically have given options to others to purchase shares at a discounted rate, a defense strategy…

You learn a lot about turkey loads and shotguns after you send several dozen patterns down range in the name of research. For starters, I think I’ll stick to a 20 gauge next spring after putting my shoulder through the wringer. The devastating patterns from some of the 20-gauge loads also made that an easy decision.A few of these points might seem like no-brainers, but they still warrant explanation based on the findings. Regardless, all of these points should come as good news for hunters considering upgrades to their existing turkey guns. Here are a few things I learned from…

DA Targets produces an innovative line of polymer, self-healing, reactive targets. They have silhouette targets. They have gong targets. And they have knock down targets, too. Like other reactive targets, knock down targets make an excellent training aid. The marksman doesn’t need to wait to inspect a target following a series of shots in order to find out how well he is shooting. Instead, the target reacts immediately, providing instant feedback about the effectiveness of each shot. This provides more accurate and powerful reinforcement of marksmanship skills. It is also a lot more fun. One of DA Targets’ most innovative…
