We Can All Fix This To be clear, people commit crimes with stolen guns. I couldn’t agree more. But as responsible gun owners, there’s no reason we should make things easy. If for no other reason, an unattended gun is as accessible to a child as it is to a door jiggler. The solutions are easy, and some are absolutely free. Bring it inside. It’s that simple. If you’re going somewhere you can’t carry, plan around it before you leave the house instead of stashing the gun in the truck and hoping. And overnight? There is no scenario where a…

I am repeatedly reminded of how critical it was that the NRA engaged early in supporting Donald Trump’s 2016 candidacy—and that he won. A recent example came in June, when President Trump spoke to American workers at a Mack Trucks facility in Macungie, Pa. That day, I was pleased to hear him restate his support for National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity and for the NRA.

On August 18, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) has filed a proposed rule to rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule.

Multiple studies have proven that wildfires are both more likely to start near roads and are also able to be managed just as effectively in roadless areas.In this 2020…

This is the second installment of a three-part elk hunting story by FHF founder, Paul Lewis. Stay tuned for the last segment or read the first here.On the morning of September 13th, I slipped into the river bottom, only to bump the herd and listen to them splash across the river. I stumbled across an empty treestand that belongs to a local rifle hunter and decided to take the hint. So, I sat in the same area that evening. I am not a patient hunter; sitting motionless waiting for something to happen feels like a mental prison.With only ten minutes…

There’s good news for the conservation of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness—but will it last?Earlier this week, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz issued an executive order to enhance the protection of the Boundary Waters. The order is particularly concerned with mining leases and permitting in the Rainy River Headwaters Watershed, where a potential copper sulfide mine has long raised alarms among the conservation community because of potential downstream impacts on the otherwise pristine Boundary Waters.Walz’s executive is the latest in a years-long back and forth over the mining project.
