Armed Citizen® Today What police called an “ongoing dispute” escalated in a Winston-Salem, N.C., neighborhood on Saturday, August 9, when one of the men involved aggressively confronted another homeowner, resulting in what the local district attorney deemed a case of self-defense. Officers say the ongoing argument between the two men erupted into violence when one of the local residents, a 54-year-old man, who was armed with a gun, approached the other man’s home in a “threatening manner.” The other homeowner, fearful for his life, had armed himself and opened fire, hitting the 54-year-old suspect. When police were called to the…
Rossi USA is the U.S.-based extension of Braztech International, a Brazilian firm that’s been in the firearm business for decades, and it offers up myriad firearms, most of which have classic appeal such as lever-actions and wheelguns. But much has changed with Rossi’s lineup in recent times, with the company adding in modern single-shots with features that appeal to those wanting to run optics and suppressors. And the addons don’t end there. Watch our video above to learn more. The Lightweight Carbine (LWC) from Rossi is available in a modest suite of chamberings at this time, from 5.56 NATO to…
A few weeks ago, I published an article highlighting the 10 best modern hunting cartridges. My intention wasn’t to hate on older cartridges, just to provide a list of some of the best new offerings of the last 25 years.Still, some commenters felt compelled to defend their favorite cartridges (an honorable impulse), and several argued that these newfangled PRC’s and Creedmoor’s and ARC’s are all hat and no cattle. They don’t actually outperform tried-and-true designs—they’re just meant to fleece the hunting public for more money and give gun writers something to spill ink on.I don’t agree with this entirely, but…

(Continued from Part 4. This concludes the article.) There are a lot of different complicated characteristics in the LoRa radio configuration that can be changed that impact range and transfer speed, so Meshtastic has defined a number of preset configurations so you don’t need to mess with the technical details. The first word of the preset defines range, and the second defines bandwidth, with ‘Long Fast’ being the default. I strongly recommend that you stick with the ‘Long Fast’ preset until you gain more experience with Meshtastic, so make sure the ‘Modem Preset’ field says ‘Long Fast’. Once you’ve selected…
