Armed Citizen® Today In Hancock County (near Indianapolis) on July 21, a man driving a Dodge began following a man driving a Volkswagen extremely closely. When the two vehicles had to stop in a construction area, the Dodge driver exited his vehicle, aggressively approached the other driver and initiated a confrontation, pointing into the window, cussing in a “very hostile” manner and threatening bodily harm. The Volkswagen driver apparently drew his firearm in fear for his life and the life of his female passenger, whereupon the aggressor mocked him and told him to get out of the vehicle. He then…
The American Custom Gunmakers Guild (ACGG) Foundation announced the introduction of its new “Doug Turnbull Firearms Restoration Arts Grant,” which is an expansion on the foundation’s mission to support gunsmithing education in the United States. The grant is named in honor of Doug Turnbull, the founder of Turnbull Restorations, a dedicated firearm-restoration company. The shop began as a one-man operation and has since expanded into a full team of experienced gunsmiths that provide a careful, tried-and-true approach to the restoration of classic arms. The new grant will introduce gunsmithing students to the fundamental skills necessary to restore vintage firearms. Through…
Gun control activists have become increasingly emboldened. The shift from targeting the margins to challenging the mainstream signals nothing is off-limits. Gun bans are being aimed at the most popular firearms in America. Now, even hunting—which survives in countries that ban defensive gun use—is being targeted. In Oregon, Initiative 28 (IP28), also known as the PEACE Act (People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions Act), is a ballot initiative petition that seeks to ban hunting, fishing, trapping and wildlife management, along with many traditional agricultural practices. Whether it will reach voters in November remains to be seen, but this…
For most of the American shooting public, duty holsters don’t warrant much consideration because their bulk, plus their multi-level locking and firearm retention system, aren’t relevant for those who carry concealed on a daily basis. For the average American, it’s enough to have a holster that has solid friction retention while still remaining easily concealable. But, duty holsters have their place, particularly in law-enforcement and security circles, and they do provide some benefits to civilian users, too. Watch our latest “I Carry” video above for the rundown on some of the latest models. “For many years, Safariland was the 800-pound…
Steve takes on America’s most hated fish with a recipe out of Auguste Escoffier’s 1903 Le Guide Culinaire. Carpe à la bière calls for poaching a whole carp in light beer with onions, celery, and diced gingerbread, then saucing it with the fish’s own roe. Steve and Randall work through it in the MeatEater kitchen and put it in front of the crew to see if carp can be made not just edible, but good. Presented by Tecovas Read the full article here
Ten yards down the beach, two kids build a sandcastle while their mom watches through sunglasses from a stretched-out beach towel. Some teenagers shove each other as they walk past me and head down the beach, and a couple of guys toss football near the dunes.And I’m knee-deep in the Atlantic, two ribbons of squid threaded onto my hooks. I’ve been here since sunup, waiting for my rod tip to twitch, and my cooler already holds some evidence that I picked a good spot. It’s easy to stand on the beach and stare out across the water and think somewhere…

The first time I met John Lott, founder and president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), was at a cocktail party in Arlington, Va., about 20 years ago. He was speaking to an author who had a book coming out on the war in Iraq. Lott said, “There is so much there to write about—so much data and investigation. How many times did you go to Iraq and how did you ever stop doing research long enough to write the book?” The author shrugged and said, “What? No, I never went to Iraq. And research? Why? I already know…
