The Laramie County Sheriff’s Office seeks help from the public in identifying a man who allegedly stole a Glock 42 pistol from a gun show held at the Archer Complex in Cheyenne on March 23. Surveillance images reveal that the suspect casually walked away with the firearm, valued for its compact design and popularity among gun owners, prompting law enforcement to urge community members to come forward with any information. Authorities report the thief left the scene in a gray Ford F-150, and they have provided a contact number for tips: Deputy Chapman can be reached at 307-640-7670. The incident…
Alexandria Pro-Fab, a contract machine shop based in Minnesota, announced that it has purchased the assets of Adams Arms, along with all of the company’s intellectual property, and it plans to relaunch the company in the second quarter of 2025. “We’re a veteran-owned company, and we’ve been doing this a long time,” said Greg Ellingson, chief operating officer of Alexandria Pro-Fab. “The quality of our products will be the same. It’s just under different leadership. We’ll be able to cut out some of the middleman element of things and ensure that Adams Arms remains on the leading edge in piston-driven…
U.S. Senator John Cornyn has successfully reestablished his standing within the Texas GOP leadership despite past backlash for his role in passing a gun safety bill. Initially censured and booed in 2022, his political relationship with influential party chair Abraham George has notably transformed, with George now labeling Cornyn as an ally committed to advancing conservative goals. In a significant shift from previous tensions, Cornyn received a standing ovation at a recent GOP Christmas party, signaling a potential reconciliation within the party’s factions. George praised Cornyn for his support of former President Trump’s agenda, but challenges remain as Cornyn faces…
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed Act 229 into law earlier this month, which requires public and open enrollment public charter schools to provide age-appropriate firearm safety instruction beginning during the 2025-2026 school year. Meanwhile the state’s Division of Elementary and Secondary Education will work with the Arkansas State Game and Fish Commission to determine the earliest grade in which they will begin. The measure is not designed to promote gun ownership. It is, rather, designed as a measure to enhance the safety of young and curious minds, like NRA’s wildly effective Eddie Eagle GunSafe program that began in 1988.…
Kansas regulators are reviewing the existing night vision hunting season for coyotes, originally established in 2021, as new public meetings indicate significant support for its expansion. Farmers and hunters advocate for this change, citing that coyotes cost Kansas ranchers approximately $4 million annually in livestock losses, with some hunters reporting success in controlling coyote populations when hunting at night. While the majority of participants seem to favor an extension of the night season, some residents express concern over potential safety risks and disturbance from nighttime hunting. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks has gathered public comments, noting that while…
Our official coverage of new products for the current year is set for next month, but we included two substantial new developments in this issue that have the potential to make significant ripples in the firearm business even before then. The first is a semi-automatic handgun with a rare combination of features, and the second is a rimfire cartridge—and both fly the banners of familiar industry giants. In “Ruger RXM: Collaboration Begets Customization,” Field Editor Aaron Carter wrings out a recently introduced melding of expertise between industry giants Ruger and Magpul in the form of a chassis-based, polymer-frame, striker-fired, semi-automatic…
A controversial bill in Tennessee’s legislature, HB 1189, moves forward, proposing to allow permit holders to carry any type of firearm, including rifles and long guns. Currently, Tennessee’s concealed carry permits are restricted to handguns; however, this bill would significantly expand those rights, permitting gun owners to carry firearms they legally possess without additional restrictions. Supporters argue the bill aligns with constitutional rights, while law enforcement voices serious concerns, noting it may lead to chaotic situations in public spaces. With the potential for permit holders to bring high-capacity firearms into sensitive areas like schools, law enforcement leaders warn this could…
In a significant legal development, 22 gun owners—including law enforcement officers and military veterans—have filed civil lawsuits against Sig Sauer, claiming that their widely used P320 pistol fires unintentionally, leading to serious injuries. The allegations echo concerns raised in previous lawsuits, where users reported that the pistol discharged “suddenly and unexpectedly,” even when their hands were not in contact with the trigger. Sig Sauer, which has referred to these lawsuits as baseless, maintains that the P320 is designed to fire only when the trigger is intentionally pulled. Notably, this lawsuit follows a series of high-profile cases resulting in multi-million dollar…
El Paso County Sheriff Joe Roybal publicly critiques a newly passed bill requiring firearm safety training for individuals purchasing semiautomatic weapons. Senate Bill 003 mandates that, starting August 1, 2026, buyers complete a safety course through Colorado Parks and Wildlife, a measure Roybal argues could infringe on constitutional rights and adversely affect small business owners and law-abiding citizens. With the bill now heading to Governor Jared Polis for approval, Roybal’s concerns resonate with many, especially as all legislators from Colorado Springs—regardless of party affiliation—voted against it. Advocates for the bill believe it is a necessary step to prevent future mass…
The Nebraska Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments regarding a lawsuit challenging Lincoln’s local firearm regulations, which the plaintiffs argue violate the state’s constitutional carry law. Represented by the Liberty Justice Institute, the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association claims that local restrictions, enacted through an executive order by Lincoln’s mayor, contradict a statewide law allowing residents to carry guns without a permit. This pivotal case comes after a similar lawsuit successfully overturned Omaha’s regulations in 2024. Initially dismissed by a district court, the Lincoln lawsuit was revived when the state Supreme Court granted a bypass of the appeals process,…
