The easily navigable webpage not only outlines the ERPO process and eligibility criteria but also links to local advocacy groups ready to assist those in…

A U.S. airman died at a Wyoming Air Force base after an alleged shooter pointed a gun at him in a “joking manner,” prompting significant legal consequences. Brayden Lovan, 21, was killed in July, and two airmen, Sarbjot Badesha and Matthew Rodriguez, recently pleaded guilty to making false statements surrounding the incident, which originally led investigators to think the firearm had accidentally discharged. This tragic event resulted in the temporary suspension of Sig Sauer M18 pistol use at nuclear sites while the Air Force conducted safety assessments. The shooter, Marcus White-Allen, allegedly urged the other airmen to fabricate a story…

On safari in Africa two years ago, my British white hunter looked at me as if I had just announced my intention of running for Prime Minister of Britain. “Come now, Weatherby,” he said, “surely you’re not trying to tell me that a .300 Weatherby Magnum shooting a 150-grain bullet is more powerful than my .470 with a 500-grain bullet?” This reaction was not unexpected, since it was identical with that of…
