Every armed citizen needs to understand the risks of civil liability after a self-defense shooting.Criminal acquittal or prosecutorial decision not to prosecute is not the conclusion of legal exposure following a self-defense shooting. The criminal and civil justice systems operate under fundamentally different rules and apply different standards of proof. A person can emerge from criminal proceedings without a formal charge and still face years of costly civil litigation. Understanding this distinction is a practical necessity for any citizen who carries a firearm.Two Parallel Systems, Two Different StandardsIn a criminal proceeding, the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt,…
Your Kid’s Phone Is the Most Dangerous Room in the HouseHere’s the math most parents never run: your kid has more unsupervised contact with strangers right now, tonight, in their bedroom, than they will walking through any unfamiliar city alone. A game invite, a chat request, a “friend” who just followed them back — that’s a door into your house, and most parents have no idea how many of those doors are sitting wide open.The danger isn’t a website anymore. It’s a pipeline right into your home.It starts somewhere that looks completely harmless — a game, a group chat, a…

We certainly don’t choose the cream of the crop when looking for candidates for this column, but every now and then you find something interesting for the right price and people will inquire about carrying it as a woods or backup gun. So, on a visit to the local Cabela’s gun library, a trade came in that wasn’t exactly on our wish list: a single-action M1895 Nagant revolver made in 1902 in Imperial Russia. With a finish in about 80 percent condition and with no pitting, it looked quite a few steps up from the later Commie revolvers made after…

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The landscape of federal firearm restrictions has been profoundly reshaped by the nation’s highest court. Delivering the opinion for a unanimous bench, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch struck down a critical provision of the Gun Control Act of 1968, marking a monumental victory for cannabis consumers and the broader Second Amendment community. The ruling represents a stinging defeat for the federal government’s attempt to maintain categorical restrictions on a demographic that now encompasses tens of millions of Americans living in states where cannabis has been fully integrated into local commerce. “Whatever one thinks of these developments, the…
To say that no other handgun has been as celebrated, discussed, coveted and produced as much as the Model 1911 by gun designer John Browning is an understatement. Long past the century-old mark, this ubiquitous firearm design shows no sign of fading in popularity or practical use.

These ain’t your kid’s BB guns. They’re powerful enough to take deer. Here we explore the rising trend of air rifle hunting.I was first introduced to modern-day PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) air rifles a bit over a decade ago by a good friend who built custom air rifles. My buddy had been shooting and hunting with PCP air rifles for several years and had taken many exotics and wild boar in Texas, usually shooting .45-caliber round balls. Years before he began making custom rifles, he had hunted with airguns from some of the early custom big-bore air-rifle makers, such as the…
If you carry a Glock 43X or 48, you can now get factory mags with 50 percent greater capacity.A lot of people enjoy carrying Glock’s Slimline pistols, the 43X and 48, because of their small size. What these guns were always lacking compared to similar micro 9mm concealed carry pistols, however, was capacity. Their 10-round mags certainly pushed many to consider other makes and models, while others relied on aftermarket 15-round magazines to up their capacity. When it comes to the tool you trust your life with, reliability is paramount, and some shooters don’t have faith in anything that doesn’t…
