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?…

By Dave Merrill and David Lane If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. But what happens when it walks like a Glock, talks like a 1911, and shoots like a CZ SP-01? Well, you’ve encountered the Wilson Combat Bulwark. The Bulwark is a Doctor Moreau monster-mash of John Browning and Gaston Glock, done in a different way. This pistol intrigued us so much, a pair of us tackled it for this review: CONCEALMENT Editor Dave Merrill and RECOILweb Editor David Lane. We didn’t have a gun like this on our 2026 bingo…
What are the odds that you’ll ever need to use a gun for self-defense? Here we break down the data.A few months ago, John Correia of Active Self Protection was confronted by a burglar in his own home. The man fled, no shot was fired, and Correia walked away thinking about a question many armed citizens eventually ask. Realistically, what are the odds I will ever need my gun? In a video on his channel, he ran the numbers from two major firearms surveys and arrived at a startlingly large lifetime probability. This article borrows his framework and pushes further…

Before we get into what happened in Boulder City, let’s name the thing correctly. ~MAGA SOCIALISM~The federal government took land supposedly owned by the American public, shut that same public out of the decision, and handed the property to a private investment fund out of Texas. Nevada then sweetens the deal with tax abatements for the data center industry, while the local utility prepares to spend billions building new gas turbines to keep the servers running. The hedge fund gets the asset, the technology companies get the electricity, and everyone else gets stuck paying higher utility bills while praying the…
As of July 17, 2026, the crowdsourced DeFlock map had located 95,923 Flock Safety cameras in the United States. That’s about 83% of every automated license plate reader volunteers have managed to find.Volunteers. That’s who’s counting. There’s no honest national inventory, plenty of departments won’t say where their cameras are, and the ones bolted to shopping centers and apartment complexes are harder to spot than the ones on utility poles.Flock’s own number is more than 20 billion vehicle scans a month across more than 5,000 communities. Not 20 billion scans of wanted felons. Twenty billion scans of whoever drove past.Your…

For most people, their EDC is carried in an inside-the-waistband holster. The problem with that is that you have to wear your shirts untucked. For some, this really isn’t an option for various reasons, and they need their shirt tucked in. A tucked-in shirt doesn’t have to mean leaving your EDC at home. With the right holster, belt, and shirt choice, you can stay armed and still look put together. Why Carry Tucked Various reasons for wearing a tucked-in shirt include attending a formal event, such as a wedding or an awards ceremony, working in an office setting where an…
