Montana Governor Greg Gianforte has signed a law that prohibits state and local law enforcement from enforcing federal gun bans, a move he claims is necessary to protect Second Amendment rights.

A report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute highlights that domestic needs, particularly in Russia, have bolstered arms revenue amid international sanctions, while issues…

A research team has captured rare footage of Bigg’s killer whales in Puget Sound quietly stalking sea birds in a shallow cove, showcasing behavior that appears to be more about practice than predation. This unique behavior was observed while researchers sought to record the vocalizations of the whales; they instead witnessed an intriguing scene where several whales stirred up mud while another attempted to sneak up on a group of loons and scoters. According to the Orca Behavior Institute, this stalking is not considered hunting but rather a form of target practice to refine their skills. Unlike their endangered southern…

Armed Citizen® Today In Oklahoma City, a female convenience-store clerk was working near midnight on Nov. 13 when a man attempted to pay using a counterfeit $100 bill. She refused to accept the fake, so the man allegedly began threatening her, and then to physically assault her. “He said he was going to slice my head off, and that’s when I tried to call the police,” the clerk later told reporters. “He started throwing things at me, came behind the counter.

For those who haven’t been keeping up with American handgun trends, 2011-style semi-automatic pistols have been making notable inroads from the competition circuits into the civilian self-defense and law-enforcement markets during the past few years.
