I have a love-hate relationship with Mel Gibson’s film, “The Patriot.” On the one hand, it’s a highly entertaining movie about a topic virtually untouched by Hollywood. On the other, the movie is so replete with historical inaccuracies that one viewing is enough to send even the moderately educated history enthusiast into violent, mouth-frothing convulsions. But, the simple fact is that “The Patriot” is likely representative of the general view of the American Revolution. Though Americans live, work and play in a nation that directly resulted from the events of 1776 and beyond, 250 years removed, the actual details of…

Gun owners are catching onto the high-tech algorithms and Internet-scouring software employed by several websites can soften the blow when it’s time to buy ammunition, and more are going online. Some of these tools have been around for years, offering gun owners a particularly useful tool when events signal another shortage may be on the horizon, while others are relative newcomers to the market. Some don’t sell ammo, so there’s no sales pitch. The information is usually presented in a spreadsheet format, with lowest-price-per round the common default setting. Results can be tailored to sort by cartridge, volume desired and…
Armed Citizen® Today On June 7, a woman was walking with her two dogs through a wilderness area to gather mushrooms near Skilak Lake, Alaska, when she heard a warning yelp and then painful screeching, followed by a loud roar. She charged into the dense vegetation, screaming for her dogs, and suddenly saw a black bear only about 5 feet away with blood dripping from its face. The bear was coming toward her, so the woman drew her firearm—a Glock 43 (9 mm)—and fired. The bear dropped long enough for her to see that her dog was still alive but…

One of the classic 20th century American rifle designs is the Ruger Mini-14, and despite the proliferation of AR-style rifles and other semi-automatic platforms, the Mini-14 soldiers on, more than 50 years since its introduction. While it’s a solid rifle in its own right, the popularity of the Mini-14 has to be partially attributed to its presence in popular culture, most notably as one of the chosen firearms for “The A-Team,” a popular ’80s action series. Today, the Mini-14 is still in production, and with approximately 3 million made, there are plenty out on the market, so understandably, it has…
