When an armed citizen took his Glock out of a safe in his vehicle and engaged an active murderer on May 11, 2026, on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Mass., (a major roadway along the Charles River near Boston), he likely saved a lot of lives. The civilian, who reportedly had served as a Marine and was a licensed concealed carrier in the state, heroically engaged the gunman from cover. The would-be murderer shot at this armed citizen who has decided to keep his name out of the press. His car ended up with several bullet holes in it, but he…

Moultrie’s new Edge 4 Solar looks to mitigate the problem all trail cameras share—battery life. Between the new, larger solar panel and the included rechargeable battery, you can reduce your battery budget and trips to change them out. Moultrie’s newest version of the Edge doesn’t reinvent the wheel. Instead, it makes subtle, thoughtful improvements to an already feature-rich trail camera.I was able to get my hands on the Edge 4 Solar before it dropped. Here are my initial thoughts.Specs and Features Network: Connects to any of the Big 4 Memory: Built-in Power: Includes rechargeable battery Max Photo Resolution: 40 MP…

When the marketplace of micro-compact handguns took off, many manufacturers began rolling out their own take on the easily carried 9 mm handgun, but for years, there was one clear exception: Heckler & Koch USA. All that changed when the company launched its CC9, which proved to be one of the most robustly built micro-compact handguns yet made. Watch our “American Rifleman Television: Rifleman Review” segment above to see the details of the HK USA CC9. “It comes with a lot of features packed into a small space,” former American Rifleman Editor in Chief Brian Sheetz said. “There’s a tritium front…

On Monday, July 13, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders with outsized impacts to federally-owned public lands in Utah. He shrank the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments by about 90% each.The move is yet another action in a year-long back-and-forth over the national monuments, both of which were established under the Antiquities Act of 1906, which was enacted “to provide general legal protection of cultural and natural resources of historic or scientific interest on federal lands.”Grand Staircase-Escalante was established by President Bill Clinton in 1996 and later expanded to encompass 1.9 million acres. Bears Ears…

00:00:03 Speaker 1: He’s chasing down this Confederate group of soldiers and he knows where they’re camped. They’re camped over this hill, and this is his first time he’s going to face battle during the Civil War. And he says, man, I said, we’re going up over this hill. I starts to get so nervous. It feels like my heart is in my throat. He’s freaking out. And they get up over the crest of the hill and they look down and the camp’s gone, and he, you know, his heart and went back to his place, he says, and…

I bought a Remington 1100 LW 20-gauge shotgun for my wife to shoot clay targets (informally) and sometimes hunt with me when I go hunting for waterfowl. Since the gun is slightly smaller and lighter than my 12-gauge Remington 1100 standard model, I assumed that LW meant lightweight, which would be perfect for my wife since she is a small lady. When I bought the shotgun, I didn’t notice that it had “Magnum” engraved on the opposite side of the receiver from the serial number. This may or may not factor into my question, which involves the barrel on the…

When the brave men of Lexington, Mass., poured onto the village green on the morning of the 19th of April, 1775, there were a couple of anomalies between them and the popular history of the era, as well as the bulk of American soldiery for the next 200-plus years. First, they were not “Minutemen,” which were essentially quick-reaction forces formed from the local militia, but rather the regular “trained band” of armed townsfolk, a concept that had a rich tradition in British and British-American history. Second, they were heavily outnumbered by the Royal regulars and served mostly as a speed…
