Texas-based Rost Martin threw its hat into the self-defense handgun market last year with its striker-fired, polymer-frame, compact 9 mm Luger RM1C handgun, a pistol loaded with both features and value.

Author’s Introductory Note: I mostly retired from writing more than two years ago, for a number of health reasons. I had several strokes plus a host of other health problems. I used to be able to type 100-to-125 words per minute, but now I can only type 30 words per minute. I was in the hospital several times – at one point, I had blood poisoning, and the ER doctor said I was within a couple of hours of dying. Not a good thing. During another hospital visit, I had uncontrolled internal bleeding and was given 21+ units of blood.…

The U.S. Supreme Court has decided not to hear a challenge to Washington, D.C.’s ban on large-capacity ammunition magazines, effectively leaving the lower court’s ruling intact.

Four individuals with concealed-carry licenses in D.C. had argued that the ban infringes upon their Second Amendment rights. However, this case highlights the ongoing tension between gun rights expansion and public safety, a topic that continues to ignite heated…
