Armed Citizen® Today In Rochester, N.Y., during the early morning hours of Aug. 3, a homeowner was awakened by the noise of someone breaking in through his back door. The homeowner, however, was a legally armed citizen. When police arrived, they found the intruder dead on the floor of the kitchen. Reports noted the home had been burglarized at least twice in recent months and that the trespasser was “known to law enforcement” and on parole for a previous burglary conviction. A police captain noted that it seemed to be a “justified shooting.” (rochesterfirst.com; Rochester, N.Y.; 8/3/26) From the Armed…

For decades, the Japanese-manufactured Howa M1500 bolt-action has been the basis of everything from budget, entry-level rifles to the highest-end customs. Evolving over the years to add contemporary features, they remain some of the best value for the money bolt-actions on the market. Currently imported by Legacy Sports International, new for 2026, the company is introducing two new M1500 series, as well as a new chambering.  Legacy Sports is expanding its Howa bolt-action lineup for 2026, including the Fence Line series pictured. All contemporary Howa actions feature a 90-degree bolt throw with dual locking lugs, a spring-loaded M16-style extractor and…

Hunting rifles of the last century often earned praise for their utility across multiple hunting seasons or big game pursuits. The same rifle a hunter might use in sheep country would have served him just as well in the big woods back East. Would it have been perfect for either scenario? No, but that type of utility would have earned it a spot at deer camp and in the corner of the family room.The general hunting rifle has been supplanted by niche, ultra-specific rigs that have more specialization than tenured professors. Need a 6-pound mountain rifle? How about a heavy-barrel…

When Browning ceased production of the Hi Power pistol in 2018, it looked like it was the end of one of the most prolific fighting pistols of all time. However, in 2021, Springfield Armory introduced the SA-35 pistol, which was an updated clone of the iconic Browning Hi Power, and since then the platform has experienced a resurgence, with a lot of younger and newer shooters gaining an appreciation of the last gun design in which John Browning was involved. Now, Springfield Armory has made the SA-35 even more appealing to those interested in a compact, concealed-carry pistol with a…

The nation’s two biggest suppressor dealers allowed customers to walk into their stores yesterday, purchase suppressors, and walk out with them. No fingerprints. No $200 tax. No wait time. They bought gun mufflers like they would firearms, passed instant background checks, and left.And they didn’t do it in secret. They posted about it on X. Here’s Silencer Central announcing they sold a suppressor over the counter to a South Dakota resident who came into their shop. Same thing for Texas-based Silencer Shop, though instead of a regular Joe, their customers were guntuber-turned-politician Brandon Herrera and a Texas state representative named…

00:00:09 Speaker 1: From Meat Eaters World Headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is Col’s Week in Review with Ryan cal Callahan, presented by First Light. Here’s cal. If you’re going to criticize the conservation community for something, it might be nimbiism. We hunters and anglers can be quick to say no to a new energy development, or a mining project or condo expansion on our favorite piece of land. But no matter how oppositional we might be, another community has beat us by a mile. Across the Atlantic, activists defeated the routing of an electrical transmission line from England to…

00:00:05 Speaker 1: Welcome to Backwoods University, a place where we focus on wildlife, wild places and the people who dedicate their lives to conserving both. Big shout out to ONEX Hunt for their support of this podcast. I’m your host, Lake Pickle, and on today’s episode, y’all are going to hear one of my favorite kinds of stories to tell. It’s a story of redemption.
