Armed Citizen® Today Just after 7 a.m. on Dec. 11, 2025, in Gulfport, Miss., two women were at home when a man whom both women had protective orders against broke in through a window. The two women fled the man, who was armed with a knife and a hammer, as he slashed at them. The women managed to barricade themselves in another room, but the assailant was not deterred. As he tried to break into that room, one of the women retrieved a firearm and shot the man dead. The 29-year-old assailant had been released from jail on bond after…
Henry Repeating Arms is well-known for its extensive line of lever-actions, ranging from classically styled .22s all the way to modern big-bore lever guns designed for field use. But in 2025, Henry decided to branch out even further, launching its Special Products Division, a research and development arm dedicated to producing firearms tailored to specific customers and use cases. For the division’s first design, it embraced the rapidly growing trend of suppressor usage, building the SPD HUSH as the perfect host for a silencer. At its heart, the Henry SPD HUSH is based on the company’s large-frame lever-action rifles, in…
Several years ago, I drew a limited hunt on public ground in my state. Part of that draw required hunters to harvest a doe before filling their buck tags. I went into that hunt assuming I’d tag a doe on the first day and have three days to find a buck. Boy, was I wrong.It wasn’t until my third day that I even saw a doe on that pressured ground. Even then, I lucked out, getting a thirty-yard shot while still-hunting through the timber. I basically dragged that 70-pound doe out by the hooves, and it felt like one of…

If you ask most Americans when World War Two started and you’ll probably get December 7, 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, as an answer. Another response might be September 1, 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. These dates are significant, in that these are when open and sustained military operations commenced, but they definitely were not the start of the war. It would be ignorant to think that Germany just up and decided to invade Poland, or Japan bomb Pearl Harbor, out of the blue on these dates. There were prolonged periods of tension that led up to the…
On December 19th,1776, Thomas Paine published his first “American Crisis” essay that famously began: “These are the times that try men’s souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”. — Some sad news: Gil Gerard dead: Buck Rogers star leaves heartfelt posthumous message. — The big 50%-off sale at SurvivalRealty.com…
Western states have a mule deer problem. Deer populations are down across the board, leaving fish and game commissions grasping for means to mitigate the declines. Often, the only lever immediately within reach is a control on hunting pressure, which commissioners are reluctant to touch, as it obviously comes at the expense of hunting opportunity.Last week, however, commissioners in Montana made the decision to reduce nonresident deer tags by about 2,500 for the next two years, with the goal of reducing both overall hunter numbers and crowding from out-of-state hunters. The commission also reduced the number of deer tags resident…
On November 16, 2018, 68-year-old Chong Mua Yang—a Hmong immigrant, war veteran, and lifelong hunter—was found face-down in the snow, shot in the back of the head. The backpack, knife, and shotgun he’d taken on his deer hunt were missing. His footprints were the only ones leading in… but not the only ones leading out.The investigation would take six years, involve Google geofence warrants, racist text messages, GPS timelines, a can of Scent Killer, and a shocking interview in Miami that turned the entire case upside down.Was this a hate crime? A hunting “accident”? Or something even darker?In this episode…
In the battle over public land access, the sides often seem to have heroic DIY hunters on one side vs villainous landowners scheming to keep us out on the other.But it’s hardly ever that simple. Take, for example, David Faubion, a Wyoming-based big game hunter who has been chartering a helicopter to fly him and his hunting partners into landlocked public ground in Wyoming over the past few years. You can read about his no-holds-barred approach over at Guns and Ammo, where Faubion is an editor and staff writer.Faubion has certainly chosen a fitting place for his chopper hunts: according…
