We lived in Mongolia in the early 1990s, for a few years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, during a time when the system had officially ended but its habits had not yet loosened their grip on daily life. I was in my early thirties, married, with two young daughters, trying to build a life far from anything familiar. We were not passing through, and we were not insulated expatriates. We were attempting to function inside the local economy, under local conditions, with consequences that were immediate and personal. At the time, I did not think of what we…

For as long as I’ve been around, would-be suppressor owners faced two barriers to entry: the process and the tax stamp. The process for legally purchasing a gun muffler was long and complicated, but the $200 tax stamp was, for many, the straw that broke the camel’s back. It was bad enough to drop $1000 on a suppressor and then wait a year to take it home-adding a $200 tax forced many to reconsider the endeavor entirely.A lot has changed in the last few years. The ATF streamlined their approval process to make it quicker and more efficient, slashing wait…
A lone mallard kited above us during a late-season duck hunt. It made a hard turn to the right and then flew directly at our blind. I was a guest at a friend’s duck club, a place I had hunted many times before, and knew it was my job to dispatch the bird. The other hunters razzed me before I stood to shoot and promptly missed the greenhead with three errant shots. It was exactly what my buddies had been hoping for as they continued poking fun at my poor aim until a second greenhead cupped in later in the…
The Henderson Police Department in Nevada (HPD) officially adopted the full-size Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F and compact 4.0C 9 mm Luger-chambered pistols for its nearly 400 officers in late December. The news came only days before the St. Louis County police department (SLC) in Missouri selected the Echelon 4.5F for its uniformed officers. HPD’s comprehensive review of its weapons platforms revealed numerous deficiencies in issued sidearms, including an inability to provide an ideal fit for the wide variety of officer hand sizes. It was then decided to identify a new platform that adhered to the following design requirements: striker-fired, modular…

On December 16, Brian Nesvik, Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), posted an order to all internal department staff to perform a “comprehensive review” of the National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) and National Fish Hatchery System (NFHS). The intent of this review is to identify “refuges or hatcheries established for a purpose that no longer aligns with the mission.” It also requests seeking “opportunities to achieve efficiencies in the areas of governance, oversight, and span of control,” among other factors.While many see this review as a first step in liquidating public lands, others approve of it.
