Nineteen years in. Employee of the quarter twice. “Our most valuable asset,” they said it at the all-hands on Wednesday and everybody clapped.Thursday he’s walking to his truck at 9:15 in the morning with a cardboard box, and his badge stopped working while he was still in the room. Nobody in that building lost a minute of sleep over it. By Friday his whole career was a line item on slide 14 of a deck about AI-enabled efficiency, and the guy who made that slide got a bonus.That’s the disaster. Not the volcano, not the EMP, not some rifle-and-rucksack fantasy…
The Hi Power, known generically as P-35 because it was introduced in 1935, is a modern classic. Conceived by the incomparable John Moses Browning and finalized into the form we know it by his protégé Dieudonne Saive after Browning’s death, the P-35 was adopted by many nations, and it was manufactured in multiple countries — sometimes with a license, and sometimes not. The author, Massad Ayoob, shot a maximum score of 300 out of 300 with this borrowed Springfield Armory SA-35 during a training class demonstration.

Every time you turn on the tap in Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson, San Diego, Denver, or a hundred other places out West, you’re pulling from a river that got handed out to more people than it can supply. That happened in 1922, and it’s been getting worse ever since. The whole thing was overpromised on day one. It just hasn’t fully broken yet.I live in Vegas, near the bottom of the system. But this isn’t a Vegas problem or an Arizona problem. The Colorado River is one connected machine that runs from the snow up in Wyoming all the way down…
PHILADELPHIA, PA — The legal defenses sustaining strict state-level firearm regulations are fracturing. Operating as a full en banc bench, the Philadelphia-based 3rd Circuit dramatically expanded a fragmented 2024 lower-court decision. While that previous district ruling had narrowly struck down the state’s ban only as it applied specifically to the Colt AR-15 model, the 3rd Circuit completely rejected that single-model approach. Instead, the court declared the state’s entire “assault-firearm” ban unconstitutional as it applies to the full class of modern semiautomatic rifles, while simultaneously reversing the lower court’s decision that had briefly kept the state’s 10-round magazine ceiling intact. The…
Memphis homeowner Kendra Scott faces first-degree murder charges after fatally shooting 20-year-old Rodderius Morton. Although Scott initially claimed self-defense against an intruder, investigators determined Morton was an invited guest, but invited by the juvenile. Evidence showed Scott shot Morton in the back of the head while he was retreating from the property. Legal protections for defending a home may not apply because the deceased was retreating and posed no immediate threat. Witnesses and forensic evidence contradicted the home invasion narrative, leading to Scott’s arrest without bond. The case illustrates the strict legal limits regarding the use of lethal force. MEMPHIS,…

The McDonnell F3H Demon was a single-seat, carrier-based jet fighter developed for the United States Navy in the 1950’s. This aircraft represents a critical but troubled chapter in American naval aviation: one that pushed the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation toward design philosophies that would eventually produce the legendary F-4 Phantom II. But the path there wasn’t pretty. The F3H struggled with underpowered engines, weight problems, and structural failures that killed test pilots and delayed its operational deployment for years. A U.S. Navy McDonnell XF3H-1N Demon on the elevator of the aircraft carrier USS Coral Sea (CVA-43), in 1953. The destroyer USS…
