BEARS IN THE BACKCOUNTRY. OH, MY. [Editor’s Note] The following article contains graphic images of the aftermath of a bear attack. Bret Bohn doesn’t remember how fast he was moving or if his feet were even touching the ground. As he rushed down the snow-covered bank toward what was surely a bloody horror, there was a very real possibility that he and his father would soon be dead. The 35-year-old hunting guide and resident of Wasilla, Alaska, had just watched in shock as a hulking 8-foot grizzly bear plowed into his father at full speed. “It looked like a semitruck…

Read almost any emergency checklist and pay attention to the person it was apparently written for.That person can carry cases of water up the stairs, walk several miles without help, sleep on a gym floor, eat whatever food is handed to him and go several days without medication. He can hear emergency instructions, understand them immediately, load his own vehicle and evacuate without arguing, panicking or becoming confused. If the power goes out, he grabs a flashlight. If the building needs to be evacuated, he walks down the stairs.That person probably exists somewhere. He just does not represent most American…

One-handed shooting seems to be a lost art. It is common to train with handguns using two hands. Two-handed shooting offers stability, increased precision and comfort. Shooters achieve their greatest accuracy with shooting while using both of their hands. However, there are several scenarios where one-handed shooting is required. One may find themselves protecting a loved one with one hand and defending themselves with the other. Imagine walking down a staircase while standing on an uneven surface. Using an off-hand to grab a rail for stability and defending oneself with the other hand is a real possibility. Art or science?…

I used to love working at the VA hospital. Just like everything Uncle Sam does, the Veterans Administration is bloated, inefficient, and frustrating. However, back when I worked there as a physician we still had a proper crop of World War II veterans who needed inpatient care. That was Candyland for a history nerd like me. The M4 Sherman was one of the most effective tanks of the war. However, it was still a terribly dangerous place to be in a serious scrap. Image: NARA On the rare evening when we weren’t neck deep in chaos, all it took was an…

Most of the hype these days — and for many years now — centers around new semi-automatic pistols. Revolvers don’t get the attention that they used to, nor are there as many new products for wheelgunners. Smith & Wesson aims to change that with their latest release, the Bodyguard 38 2.0 revolver. But before we delve deeper, let’s discuss a few common discussion points about the pros and cons of revolvers versus semi-autos for self-defense. The first and most important benefit commonly cited is the simplicity and reliability of revolvers. Indeed, the manual of arms for a double-action-only revolver like…
The Civilian Marksmanship Program has just announced that it will be selling true military surplus M14 rifles to the public.In a surprising but exciting twist, the Civilian Marksmanship Program has just announced that the organization has received special authorization to begin selling surplus military M14 rifles. Why is it surprising? Because the ATF has long held the position that any receiver that was once a machine gun is always a machine gun. Because original military M14s were built as select-fire rifles, most people never expected that they’d be able to be legally sold on the civilian market. Seemingly, at least…

After we published an article exposing the federal government’s decision to hand Nevada public land to a Texas investment fund for an AI data center, Washington gave us another example of what I have started calling MAGA socialism.This time, there is no need to argue over definitions or dig through a public-land permit to understand what is happening. The federal government is giving hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to private technology companies and demanding ownership stakes in those companies in return.On July 29, the Department of Commerce announced letters of intent covering $874 million in federal incentives for seven…
