In Kentucky, archery season begins as early as September 6, with substantial public lands available for hunters in pursuit of giant…
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against California’s groundbreaking law that requires background checks for ammunition purchases, marking a significant setback for the state’s gun control framework. This law, implemented after voter approval in 2016, aimed to enhance public safety but faced legal challenges from gun rights advocates almost immediately; the recent ruling further complicates California’s efforts to regulate firearms after a 2022 Supreme Court decision expanded gun rights nationwide. In its July 24 ruling, the court concluded that the law “meaningfully constrains California residents’ right to keep and bear arms,” as it imposed financial and logistical…

Annoyed with himself, he straightened his back and stood up a little taller, and in a second, the Gnome knew he’d made a stupid mistake. A small branch cracked above him, and the unicorn shot its head up, nostrils flaring with grass still hanging out the sides…
