The Brief: A homeowner in Blue Springs, Missouri, fatally shot an intruder during an early morning burglary on June 19, 2026. Police arrived to find the suspect dead inside the residence. The incident has prompted local discussions regarding personal safety and the effectiveness of home defense strategies in suburban neighborhoods. Missouri law, including the Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground statutes, generally protects residents using deadly force against forceful home entries. Authorities are investigating the evidence for the prosecutor’s office, though legal frameworks suggest the homeowner’s actions likely meet the criteria for justified self-defense. BLUE SPRINGS, MO — A normally…
The Brief: A driver died after crashing an SUV into a San Tan Valley home, where a resident fatally shot him. The impact caused severe structural damage and injured two occupants. Believing the breach was a violent threat, the male resident used a firearm in self-defense during the chaotic aftermath. The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident under Arizona’s Castle Doctrine, which justifies deadly force to prevent forcible felonies within a dwelling. While the homeowner was released without immediate charges, the case will undergo a standard legal review by the Pinal County Attorney’s Office. SAN TAN VALLEY, AZ…
The Brief: A Memphis tenant shot a masked intruder discovered burglarizing his apartment. After an initial confrontation, the tenant fired additional rounds as the suspect fled the scene. Police later located the critically injured suspect nearly half a mile away following a blood trail. The stolen property was recovered nearby. The incident highlights legal complexities surrounding Tennessee’s Castle Doctrine and the use of force against retreating targets. While the law permits defense against imminent threats, firing at a fleeing individual introduces significant liability. The shooting remains under review to determine if the tenant’s actions were legally justified. MEMPHIS, TN —…
I love 1911 handguns. There is something about the short and light trigger that helps me shoot 1911 pistols more precisely than any other pistol platform. Quite simply, the 1911 pistol hits “home” with me. The craftsmanship engineered into a 1911 supersedes other semi-auto pistols by far for me. I enjoy the solid construction and the comfortable shooting with the 1911. This lineup of Springfield Armory 1911 and Prodigy pistols shows how far optic-ready slides have come on the classic platform. From left to right we have a 3.5″ Compact Prodigy AOS, a 4.25″ TRP Carry Contour AOS, a 5″…

Snubnose revolvers are prolific in American cultural consciousness, but few people properly understand their practical capabilities.One of the most quintessential American guns is the “snubnose” revolver, a staple of our heritage since it started to spin. The need for a compact and reliable weapon has never abated, and, sure enough, the little revolver has been there for us for countless generations. Due to the general saturation of this type of gun in the media and as an ingrained staple of our cultural consciousness, it’s both significantly overrepresented and, at the same time, poorly understood.The Hollywood Effect on Snubnose CarryIn general,…

In this article, Greg Frebourg reviews the Springfield Ronin EMP 9mm pistol. The handgun was loaned to the author by the company for this article. If it quacks like a duck, floats, walks and looks like a duck, well, it is a duck. That common sense saying might be full of wisdom, but it falls short as soon as anyone asks: “what kind of duck?”. Yes indeed, there are many kinds of ducks, and for most people, their differences are anecdotal and only feather deep. In some cases, looking like a duck only goes so far: anybody who tried to…

By then it’s too late to figure out which app to download or which frequency to dial in. The time to build your intel-gathering…
So you’re looking to go off the grid, or maybe you just want a backup power system that can carry your home through a long-term grid-down situation. If you’re like most people who email us, you’ve got the same handful of questions:How many solar panels will you need to power your home?How many batteries will it take to keep things running?What can you realistically power with an off-grid solar setup?And what’s this actually going to cost you?I’ve read through thousands of forum threads and talked to more solar installers and off-grid homesteaders than I can count, and here’s the one…

There are reasons why the full-size 1911 pistol is often described as “iconic,” and the gun’s long and successful history on battlefields, in the streets and at pistol championships isn’t the only reason. It’s slim for its power level, an important dimension for both comfort and concealment. When properly built, it’s also remarkably accurate, and its trigger system and grip shape adapt well to a broad range of hand sizes. The 1911 is not seen as often in holsters as polymer-framed, striker-fired pistols. Why is that? But you do not see it as often in holsters as you do striker-fired,…

Don’t be caught off guard. Prepare yourself by going camping.When it comes to preparedness, testing, practice, and real-world experience is everything. If you have a closet full of gear, but you’ve never really put that gear to the test, then why bother even having it? A bag full of unused equipment isn’t preparedness. It’s just stuff. It only becomes preparedness once you’ve actually proven, with your own hands, that you can use it.Camping, fishing, and hunting are all great ways to relax and spend time with the family. They’re also great ways to improve your survival and preparedness related skills,…
