The following is what I learned about security at lunch one day: Scenario One Tuesday, about six weeks ago, I stopped for a late lunch at a local upscale family restaurant in Virginia Beach, Virginia, that is part of a well-known chain.  It was about 3 o’clock in the afternoon and it seemed to be a quiet place to have lunch and prepare my Sunday school lesson.

Robert Corbin, a former NRA president and Arizona attorney general, died of natural causes on Sept. 9, 2025, at 97 years old. “Bob will be missed by all for his dedication and service to his country, his state and the NRA,” said Buz Mills, a fellow member of the NRA executive council. “A great leader and mentor, Bob is irreplaceable.

The business of dispatching unwanted critters requires a platform capable of a high degree of accuracy. Nuisance animals such as prairie dogs are both small and skittish in nature, meaning that they tend to keep their distance and scurry away upon the arrival of incoming fire. One of the best solutions has long been a highly accurized AR-15, but alas, these designs have begun to fade from fashion over the years. Bent on keeping the company name in line with its roots, the new Bushmaster Firearms company is resurrecting legacy products, most with only minor changes to keep up with…

NRA took a serious hit on December 29. It wasn’t from Chuck Schumer or Letitia James. It wasn’t from a billionaire oligarch trying to take your gun rights—those things still are real and out there—it was from AML. Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The Director of NRA Museums Phil Schreier did everything the doctors asked of him and then some. He had a bone marrow donor lined up, a hospital room reserved and a plan for a transplant. But it wasn’t enough. Leukemia won, and we all lost. If you didn’t know Phil Schreier personally, you probably knew of him. And frankly,…

Armed Citizen® Today A man began attempting to force entry into a home in Fort Smith, Ark., just before 9 p.m. on Dec. 21, 2025. The man, wearing all black, managed to get inside the door, but a resident was able to force him out and lock it; the intruder nevertheless continued trying to force entry while screaming at those inside. The resident called 911 but also retrieved his firearm from his safe, as he feared for the lives of himself, his girlfriend and three children in the home.
