It’s impossible to deny that the KeTec company follows its own path when it comes to the company’s lineup of handguns, rifles and shotguns. Case in point is the bullpup, pump-action, twin-magazine-tube KSG shotgun introduced in 2011. Six years later, KelTec introduced the single-tube KS7, which was impressive enough to be awarded the 2020 NRA Golden Bullseye Award for Shotgun of the Year. New for 2025, the company has updated the design with the KS7 Gen2.  The KS7 Gen2 is a update on the original that has been improved both internally and externally.

On September 20, 1945, under OSS (and later CIA) Operation Paper Clip and Operation Overcast (1945 to 1959), German rocket scientists began to work in the United States.

Under these secretive and later publicly acknowledged and very controversial programs, the German contingent was most conspicuously led by senior scientist Wernher von Braun. (Pictured above,…

On September 10, the Trump administration announced a proposal to reverse the Public Lands Rule, a Biden administration fingerprint on the Bureau of Land Management that affirmed conservation’s equal-footing status with other uses of BLM lands and established conservation and restoration leasing programs, incentivizing market-based solutions to issues plaguing landscape health and wildlife habitat.But the proposal revealed more than just how Trump’s DOI has misinterpreted the Public Land Rule’s basic functions — which, despite the agency’s claims otherwise, acknowledged preexisting grazing and mineral leases on BLM lands, left room for compatible extractive uses on lands entered into conservation leases, and…

Armed Citizen® Today A burglary that escalated into a full-scale assault ended when the victim defended himself inside of a Boise, Idaho, retail store. At about 9:30 a.m., an 18-year-old woman entered the store and began stealing alcohol when she was confronted by the store’s employee. Immediately following the confrontation, two other suspects entered the store, and all three began assaulting the employee, who was backed into a corner of the store and was “repeatedly punched, kicked and stomped as he remained on the ground,” according to the police report. At that point, the employee drew his firearm and shot…

A substantial search and rescue effort is underway in Southern Colorado after two elk hunters went missing. The hunters—Andrew Porter, a 25-year-old from Asheville, North Carolina, and Ian Stasko, a 25-year-old from Salt Lake City, Utah—have not been heard from since September 11, according to a Facebook post from Porter’s fiancée, Bridget Murphy.“They were hunting in Unit 81 of the Rio Grande National Forest off of the Los Pinos Trailhead and have lost use of [their] Garmin,” wrote Murphy. “While they are experienced hunters, bad storms and fog came in quickly and continuously until Sunday morning.”The hunters were reported overdue…
