The modern generation of body armor first began as hot, bulky wraparound Kevlar vests that protected against pistol rounds. But thanks to advances in materials sciences (and a healthy dose of government investment from two decades of continuous war) these ubiquitous police armor options have largely been supplemented or outright replaced by the leaner, more comfortable plate carrier. First popularized by special operators, plate carriers have since proliferated across American society — from SWAT officers to street cops, to tactical fitness folks (think CrossFit or the Tactical Games). And you too can capitalize on their benefits. A plate carrier not…

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…

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…

Many hunters and recreational shooters (two groups that spend a ton of time outdoors) have successfully used functional, camping-related modifications to turn their personal vehicles into mobile base camps. What started out as simply sleeping in your truck has turned into “overlanding,” an entire industry centered on self-reliant adventures in kitted-out rigs. However, much like the well-meaning firearm enthusiasts who head straight for the fancy bolt-ons without first doping in their iron sights, so too do countless aspiring overlanders begin by adding hundreds of pounds of furniture to their trucks or SUVs without ever addressing the performance ramifications — wasting…
