Armed Citizen® Today In Riverton, Utah, on Aug. 7, a 23-year-old man entered a gas station and attempted to purchase alcohol. He could not produce an ID, however, so he was denied the sale.

My birthday falls at the beginning of September, which just so happens to coincide with the dove season opener in North Carolina.

The appeal of Cooper’s idea was a lightweight rifle suitable for answering most any practical question one might ask of such a tool. Thus began the enigma the Scout Rifle remains to this day, making it one of the most misunderstood firearm systems ever imagined.

For more than five decades, the CZ 75 has stood at the center of the CZ story. The distinctive pistol was designed by Frantisek Koucky, in what was then the nation of Czechoslovakia without the computerized engineering or 3D modeling so common today. The handgun launched a tradition of innovation and shooting characteristics that helped establish the company’s enviable reputation with generations of shooters around the world. As CZ honors that legacy in 2026, the company will also conclude production of three longstanding members of the CZ 75 family: the CZ 75 B, CZ 75 BD and CZ 75 Compact.…
