Minimizing the threat of dangerous parasites on gun dogs, pets and their owners is a relatively simple task with specialized products such as the TiCK MiTT. Whether at the shooting range or loafing around the park with Fido, the mitten’s micro-fiber construction locks onto pesky ticks with a quick swipe. The user simply rubs the TiCK MiTT all over his or her skin, clothes or an animal friend’s fur to capture the disease-spreading bugs. Once the wipe-down is complete, insert the product into its included mesh bag and place it in the clothes dryer, on high, for 10 minutes to…

In mid-May, Winchester Safes broke attendance records during its two-day Semi-Annual Warehouse Sale at its Mansfield, Texas, headquarters. Admittedly, the exclusive, limited-time offers and free shrimp and crawfish on Saturday were major attractions, but they weren’t the only reasons for the heavy weekend turnout. Firearms sales have slowed from that scalding COVID-19-era pace, but safe sales continue to climb. Econ Market Research estimates that corner of the industry will experience a compound annual growth rate of 5.2 percent until 2032. “With increasing concerns about gun safety and regulatory requirements, the demand for high-quality gun safes has been steadily rising,” its…

As Pennsylvania lawmakers near a crucial budget deadline, community advocates are rallying for increased funding for anti-gun violence programs, emphasizing the impact of violence on families.

Parents like Cathy Welsh, who tragically lost her son to gun violence, stress that such funding supports not just programs, but also healing for affected families. Community organizations are pushing for a total of $80 million to enhance initiatives like mental health…
Just like for silver, every major gold rally since 1971 has been during a time of US dollar decline (i.e., U.S. Dollar Index decline—that is, the US dollar as measured against a basket of major currencies.) From 1971, the DXY declined from about 120 to around 86 at the gold peak in 1980. From 2001 the DXY declined from about 117 to around 74 at the 2012 gold peak. During the current gold rally of the 2020s, it will likely be no different. It will likely go from the 2022 high of about 114 to a new all-time low, as…

With thousands anticipated to attend, the parade promises to be a focal point for discourse around national defense and the role of the military…
On June 22, 1476, the army of Charles the Bold invaded Switzerland. Their first engagement was the Battle of Morat which was fought about 30 kilometers from Bern. The successive Burgundian invasions were successfully repelled by the pike tactics of the well-trained and organized Swiss militias. — June 22, 1633: Galileo Galilei was coerced by Pope Gregory XV to recant his belief in heliocentrism–that the Earth orbits the Sun.
