A North Vernon gun dealer, David J. Mull, has been sentenced to four years in federal prison for selling firearms without a proper license, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana. Mull, 52, operated an unlicensed gun business selling more than 500 firearms to a primary customer in New York City, evading detection by sourcing weapons from private sellers at gun shows across the nation and ultimately facilitating the transfer of these guns to illegal markets in Mexico. Evidence shows that Mull continued sales even after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from the Bureau of Alcohol,…

The city of Harrisburg has installed a poignant memorial featuring approximately 50 T-shirts, each one representing a victim of gun violence, in a bid to honor the lives lost and advocate for change. Organized by Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence, this installation serves as a critical reminder to the community and lawmakers about the urgent need for legislative action aimed at curbing gun violence. Among the proposed measures are universal background checks for handgun purchases and restrictions on military-style assault weapons. Ann Van Dyke, a representative of the local chapter, emphasizes the importance of the memorial both for…
The night of Dec. 15, 1944, my father, Sgt. Larry C. Kaup of the 2nd Infantry Division, 23rd Regiment, Company B, heard what sounded like machinery running way off in the distance in the Ardennes Forest. Toward morning, it became apparent that the noise was German tanks and infantry—it was the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge. Sergeant Kaup and his fellow soldiers ran for three days and three nights through the snow, taking very heavy casualties. Upon reaching the high ground of the Elsenborn Ridge in Belgium, they dug in, spending Christmas holding back the Nazi forces. During…
How’s She Run? I pack a gun underneath surgical scrubs every day at work, and the capacity to hide beneath what are essentially pajamas has always been my yardstick for a successful concealed carry arm. The Security-9’s modest weight and smooth sultry dimensions make concealment a breeze. So long as I’m not sitting on the thing I can forget it’s there. The melted edges and no-snag sights do indeed make for a fast, seamless draw, and the manual safety is there if you want it. It took me maybe a magazine to take the measure of the trigger, and I…

What goes around comes around, right? Well, at least the good ideas tend to make return appearances. Thankfully, I haven’t seen the re-emergence of those psychedelic tank top T-shirts with colorful mushrooms on them from the ’70s. The folks at XS Sights have released a new line of brass bead sights for various revolvers, including models from Smith & Wesson, Colt and Taurus. I suspect the list of compatible models will only grow with time. The first iterations are pre-drilled for easy, drop-in installation. The bead is convex in shape, allowing it to collect and reflect the maximum amount of…
U.S. Arms Co.’s origins can be traced back to 2016 with research-and-development efforts for military contracts, and the company came to market in 2019 with its M-905 Talon muzzle brake as a result. Since then, the catalog has been expanded to include a variety of AR-15-pattern rifles. In 2024, U.S. Arms Co. relaunched its rifle series, organizing it into three distinct lines—M4 UTAW, Pro and Gen II Champion. Laying the foundation for the series is the baseline M4 UTAW reviewed here. The carbine is built around an upper and lower receiver pair machined from billet 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in…
