Chambered in 5.7x28mm or in 9mm, the Dark Arms StowAway Rifle packs more punch than similar survival rifles chambered in .22LR or .22WMR. The StowAway is a single-shot, bolt-action rifle. It has a detachable, 16-inch, threaded barrel. It is 31.78 inches long when fully assembled. I found the rifle to be simple, reliable, and reasonably accurate during my testing. The rifle is light at only 2.8 pounds, easily breaks down into less than 17 inches in length, but is ruggedly built in spite of its feathery weight. A hollow pistol grip provides enough space to store many rounds of 5.7X28mm…

In this article, I’ll describe how medicine and society will change, and why you should become a fitness nut and not just a prepper. There’s a stereotype of preppers, and it’s not kind: A middle aged or older man with a BMI that passed 30 before he was 30 and grew by 1% every year, a ton of guns, canned food, and a half-hearted vegetable garden. I know because I resemble that. As I’ve been struggling to recover my health, I’ve had a few realizations that have kept me on the path to fitness. Health is something money can’t buy.…

Anybody who’s ever dreamed of an Alaska moose hunt knows those kinds of trips don’t come cheap. Some hunters spend years saving up enough money for a bucket list hunt in the Last Frontier. But prosecutors say nearly 40 hunters who thought they were booking the adventure of a lifetime lost almost $60,000 to an illegal guiding scheme that left some of them stranded in rural Alaska.Michael Mikhael Beans, 37, began advertising trophy hunts to the Lower Yukon River area on Facebook in 2021, according to court documents. Beans has never held the required state licenses to act as a…

State and local wildlife officers do their best to monitor and enforce game and fish laws, but inadequate resources and manpower complicate those efforts. They often rely on anonymous tips from locals, which is what led to the arrest of Woodrow Snyder, 28, a southern Indiana man, who has been charged with more than 100 wildlife-related crimes.On the morning of December 18, 2025, Clark County Sheriff’s deputies and conservation officers set a roadblock after a complaint of shots fired. Snyder was stopped at the roadblock in a pickup, where officers discovered multiple dead deer. Apparently, Snyder decided to ditch the…

Armed Citizen® Today Around 6 a.m. on June 15, police responded to a home in Cordova, Tenn., where they found a man suffering from a non-fatal gunshot wound.

When he ordered Bonnie Kerkhoff to hand over her purse, she complied but produced a…

As firearm suppressors get more popular, one area that is often overlooked is shotgun suppressors. Whether using them for busting clays or hunting, shotguns are high-volume firearms, meaning that they are a perfect platform for all of the benefits of using a suppressor, including reductions in both sound and recoil. Yankee Hill Machine (YHM) introduced its VICTRA-12, a 12-ga. modular shotgun suppressor, last year. This year, the company is bringing out a 20-ga. version with the VICTRA-20. The VICTRA-20 brings a 20-ga. option to the shotgun suppressor market for hunting and sport. Like the 12-ga. version, the VICTRA-20 is a…

As time goes on, there’s a slow realization that lengthy rifles carry several handicaps. With that, they are gradually shrinking, and, in some scenarios, we’re even finding large-format pistols to be more effective. Short-barreled rifles (SBRs) aren’t new. Prior to the National Firearms Act of 1934, dwarf barrels were commonplace, before being replaced with 16-inch versions, which had become the new legal standard. That law made civilian ownership of SBRs quite rare in the ensuing decades, but it is now at its highest level since before the NFA was passed, particularly with the removal of the $200 tax stamp this…

We all know that deer tend to do silly things when they’re in front of a car’s headlights.

The diving deer dealt some serious damage to the vehicle and…
