Some folks who only read the Internet forums or even some gun magazines have been told there that “hair trigger liability is a myth.” Alas, that is not true, and it’s better to realize that now rather than find out from a prosecutor or plaintiff’s lawyer later. Many of us modify our carry guns so we can shoot them better. ...
Life comes at you pretty fast, as Ferris Bueller once said, and sometimes, you’re just not prepared for the speed at which it comes at you. I live in a portion of the country which regularly gets pounded by hurricanes, so I have learned to have a “go bag” ready at all times in case I need to evacuate my ...
If you’ve ever wanted an HK G36, you can now own a .22 LR lookalike made by Umarex. The HK G36 has always been a rare bird in the U.S. Previously, those who wanted one were limited to clones made by TommyBuilt Tactical or buying an HK SL8 and paying to have it converted. Both were expensive options. Walther made ...
King Solomon, who ruled over the united Kingdom of Israel and Judah some 3,000 years ago, is noted for greatly expanding his kingdom’s military, and that included gathering horses and chariots from as far away as Egypt. Biblical sources cite Solomon having as many as 1,400 chariots, with special centers being constructed to house them. Merkava IV tanks on the ...
So, you bought a vintage military bolt action rifle on the cheap and picked up enough mil-surp ammo to last through the next post-asteroid apocalypse. You’ve put some rounds through it at the range and had some fun plinking at tin cans. Now what? Lean it in a closet corner and forget it? Hang it on a wall to collect ...
I first fell down the rabbit hole of guns and firearm ownership from the perspective of a target shooter. I thought it was a cool activity, and I appreciated the challenge of getting my groups to be as small as possible. Much of my own personal collection tends to reflect that: I have (and shoot) what a lot of Gen-Z ...
The story behind the hunt and capture of German submarine U-505 during World War II is incredible. It was the first enemy warship taken as a prize of war since the War of 1812 and the only captured warship to be towed to the United States. A U.S. Navy boarding party works to save U-505 shortly after she was abandoned by her German crew. Image: U.S. ...

Growing up, I rode a lot of BMX in the 90s and early 2000s. I probably rode my bike six or more hours every day commuting to school, hitting some dirt trails or a freestyle concrete park. My friend group and I were never phenomenal riders, but we loved the sport and lived for it. I remember distinctly one of ...
In this article, the author discusses homemade firearms. Known also by their media name of “ghost guns,” homemade firearms are nothing new. Nevertheless, they have become a political football in recent years. The author’s views are his own and do not constitute legal advice. Always check your local laws. I’m more than a little sick of hearing the term “ghost ...
