Armed Citizen® Today During the early-morning hours of March 10 in Tulsa, Okla., a 27-year-old man broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home, first trying to get in through the window but ultimately kicking open the door. Once he entered, a person inside shot him in the chest. The intruder was transported to the hospital but died of his wound. No arrests were indicated after police questioned those in the home. (@TulsaPolice X account, Tulsa, Okla., 3/10/26) From the Armed Citizen® Archives – November 1985Hearing a crash, Valerie Donaldson grabbed a gun and opened her bedroom door to find four masked and armed men who…
Spring evenings are supposed to make turkey hunting easy. A tom flies to the roost, rattles the woods with a few last gobbles, and gives you everything but an onX pin on where to start in the morning. But it doesn’t always work that way. Sometimes the sun sets, and the woods go quiet, leaving you with nothing but a fresh collection of mosquito bites and the uneasy feeling of “what do I do now?”When that happens, a 4:00 a.m. wake-up call is less appealing. But don’t give up just yet. My friend and hunting guide Walker Davidson of Alabama…
Austrian manufacturer Steyr is one of the original companies to manufacture semi-automatic handguns, starting in the late 19th century. The company’s designs were used during both world wars, and its modern designs include a “Wonder Nine” and an extensive lineup of polymer-frame pistols. New for 2026, Steyr is introducing the At series of pistols, modular handguns designed for self-defense and competition. The At series is Steyr’s new line-up of self-defense and competition handguns.

Designed as a collaboration between Steyr and Slovenian manufacturer Arex Defense, At pistols are short-recoil operated, hammer-fired, semi-automatic pistols chambered in 9 mm Luger with…
Rifle hunting, specifically for whitetails, tends to get side-eyed compared to bowhunting. There’s an obvious level of skill, dedication, and a learning curve when it comes to bowhunting. The level of detail and minutiae required to locate, hunt, and fling an arrow often takes a bit of the surprise out of hunting. This is especially true if you cast a wide net of cameras to target specific deer.Hear me out, I’m not saying it’s not exciting to arrow a big buck (obviously it is) or that you can’t be surprised during bow season. I spend most of my deer season…
American firearm enthusiasts are pretty lucky. We’re a big enough market that, for most international gun companies, it’s worth the effort to sell their products here. And despite the restrictions we have on our freedoms, those manufacturers can offer a wider variety of their firearms in the U.S. than most anywhere else in the world. One notable exception to this reality is the absence of the Heckler & Koch G36 on the U.S. civilian market, but H&K is doing its best to change this—with a rimfire G36 we can own now and the hopes of a centerfire G36 in the…

00:00:10 Speaker 1: From Meat Eaters World News headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is Cow’s Week in Review with Ryan cow Calahan. Here’s cap there is a Cooper’s Hawk flying around the Los Angeles area that might have an untreated alcohol problem. In June of last year, a twenty five year old LA resident named Caesar Gustavo Diaz captured a juvenile Cooper’s Hawk at a park between La and Anaheim. All hawks are protected in America and it’s illegal to capture any species without the proper permits. But it’s what Diaz did next that had the media buzzing. In a…
(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) Storage A big challenge when living in small homes is storage space. In a climate with dramatic temperature swings like ours, we have, for example, different mittens, boots, parkas and hats for +30, 0, and -30 degrees. All of these are bulky. We also have special clothing for hunting, fishing, and rain, and various accoutrements for outdoor activities. So, we built lots of storage shelves in various outbuildings to hold labeled totes of out-of-season clothes. In our cabin, I store things under, over, behind, and beside furniture. For example, my husband built…
