00:00:10 Speaker 1: From Meat Eaters World News headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is Col’s Week in Review with Ryan col Klaian. Here’s CAP. A lot of time when we cover grizzly bear deterrence on the show, we get sucked in by the high tech stuff, especially in Japan Ai facial recognition, bear spray squirting drones, solar powered robot, wolves with glowing red eyes, that kind of thing. So it’s refreshing when people come up with their own low tech DIY solutions. At the top of the list is eighty year old Kazuko Takahashi, a woman living in Yawata Prefecture,…
Leonardo, a company that holds multiple surveillance-related defense and government contracts, recently introduced ELSAG SignalTrace, and its hardware is being offered as a bolt-on supplement to the more than 110,000 Flock cameras taking and storing photos of vehicles on public roadways nationwide. The technology contained within that hardware could conceivably track who has recently purchased a firearm and where they’re taking it. The SignalTrace webpage explains the system can detect cellphone manufacturer and make, audio system in the vehicle, smartwatches, wireless ear buds and more. Tire pressure monitors, laptops and iPads are also included as part of the “electronic fingerprint.”…

Armed Citizen® Today Around 5:30 a.m. on July 4, a man reportedly broke into a couple’s home in Pownal, Vt. When the couple encountered the stranger, a scuffle ensued. One of the residents shot at the man, grazing his leg and apparently ending the attack. Police transported the suspect to the hospital, where he was quickly treated, and charged him with burglary. (benningtonbanner.com; Bennington, Vt.; 7/5/26) From the Armed Citizen® Archives – May 7, 1987 An armed robber walked into a Chalmette, La., bar and demanded money from bartender Gail Ford. When she walked to the cash register and saw…
Recently, I tried to describe the Mondragón rifle to a friend, using just a few words: “A turn-of-the-20th-century semi-auto rifle, the first self-loading rifle accepted by any army, designed in Mexico, built in Switzerland and finally destined for use aboard German aircraft in World War I.” Clearly, I am not a man of few words. But in my defense, the Mondragón is a unique rifle worth talking about. Mexican artillery officer Gen. Manuel Mondragón began his firearm design career with a straight-pull, bolt-action rifle design named the Model 1893 chambered in 6.5×48 mm, a cartridge developed by Mondragón himself. Mondragón received patents…
As he notes in this episode of The Armed Citizen Podcast, Topher Field, an Australian political commentator and documentary filmmaker, spoke with us from a hotel in California. He was then at the beginning of a month-long trip across America. He had come to America on its 250th birthday to speak and meet people and to bring the message that Australia’s gun confiscation should not be used as a template for the land of the brave and the home of the free. Mostly though, in this interview he spoke of Australia and its crime problems and how, despite the narratives…
The 171-year history of Colt’s Manufacturing Company has been a rocky one, with swings from the market dominance of products, like the 1911 or AR-15, to times of instability and financial uncertainty. As of late, the company appears to be on good footing, following its acquisition by the global firearms giant Česká Zbrojovka (CZ) Group. This has resulted in the reintroduction of the company’s iconic products, like the company’s “Snake Gun” line of revolvers, and the introduction of new product lines, such as the recent established Colt Electro Optics. Colt Optics was launched as to offer the option of a…
Shopping for a pistol red dot can be overwhelming these days. There are dozens of options, feature lists a mile long and prices ranging from “too good to be true” to “do I really need to sell a kidney?” Here’s my advice: focus on the fundamentals. First, make sure the optic actually fits your handgun. Check the footprint and confirm you have the correct mounting plate before you spend a dime. It sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised how often this gets overlooked. Next, I value reliability over gimmicks. I’d rather have a simple optic that works every single…
As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, communities across the nation are reflecting on the people and principles that have preserved our freedoms for generations. On Saturday, June 27, the Karnes County Friends of NRA did exactly that, welcoming hundreds of supporters to Falls City, Texas, for an unforgettable evening themed “Shot Heard ‘Round the World.” Texas State Representative Ryan Guillen (center) poses with the Texas Dare Devils cannon crew who fired the opening-ceremony blast for the Karnes County Friends of NRA “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” celebration.
