The Vermont Senate has moved forward with S. 329, a bill that would establish a statewide ban on firearms in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol. The legislation, which passed on preliminary approval along party lines, aims to replace a long-stalled Burlington charter change with a uniform state law—though it faces a likely veto from Governor Phil Scott, who has expressed skepticism regarding its enforceability. MONTPELIER, VT — A decade-long effort to separate firearms and alcohol in Burlington has transformed into a statewide legislative battle. On Thursday, May 7, 2026, the Vermont Senate advanced a measure that would make it…

Photos by Iain Harrison and Muneki Samejina Concept cars push the boundaries of design and engineering. In the early days of the automotive industry, automakers used concept cars to generate attention. These were the days before internet marketing, so companies had to take a more hands-on approach with gauging public opinion. This was a good way for carmakers to show what they could do and get ahead of the competition. Today, concept cars are still used to showcase what designers and engineers can accomplish when they put their minds to it. These cars contrast the practical-minded commonplace and offer a…
My first scope was not a Leupold. A Leupold was something to aspire to. At $59.50 a 4x Leupold cost 10 bucks more than a K4, and 20 more than the scope I bought. Which set me back a little more than my first deer rifle. My first Leupold has faded in memory. Perhaps a 2-7x my friend Bob recommended, it may have arrived with a rifle swap. The 2-7x on Bob’s Featherweight Model 70 chambered for the .270 Win cartridge had accounted for many bucks, including a long-tined mule deer that had hunkered most of October in a cut…

THE ASA IS TAKING BACK SUPPRESSOR RIGHTS ONE STATE AT A TIME Over the past several years, suppressor ownership has skyrocketed. They’ve become commonplace for law enforcement, hunters, competitors, and recreational shooters alike. Silencers help protect both the shooter and those around them from dangerous noise levels while allowing for effective communication. Founded more than a decade ago in 2011, the American Suppressor Association directly advocates for the rights of suppressor owners — and they have a lot of wins. Here we sit down to talk to Knox Williams, president and executive director of the ASA. ASA Suppressor Demo at…
The ATF new rules, “New Era of Reform”, is an initiative aimed at fostering transparency, accountability, and a collaborative partnership with the firearms industry, gun owners, and the public. To achieve this, the agency has introduced a comprehensive package of proposed and final rules designed to align with statutory changes, clarify regulatory ambiguities, modernize recordkeeping, reduce administrative burdens, and repeal overreaching prior regulations. In 2025, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) initiated a landmark strategic pivot, transitioning from a model of aggressive, enforcement-centric oversight toward a framework defined by transparency, accountability, and industry partnership. This “New Era…
Traditionally, big handguns were for carrying openly and smaller handguns were for concealment because — well, duh — smaller things are easier to hide (and they’re also less weight and bulk to carry). However, the wise concealed carriers ask themselves, “Why exactly am I carrying a handgun in the first place?” The obvious answer is, “Because I might have to shoot something to stay alive.” The standard Springfield Armory Echelon pistol is a full-sized handgun, and it makes for an exceptional concealed carry choice. Shown is a compact 4.0C model. You just need to find the right holster and methods…

In the world of suppressors, six years is a long time. That’s how long the Nomad Ti family has been around, and its latest generation marks a significant departure from previous designs. It still has the deep tone and versatility we’ve come to appreciate, but instead of being a welded, tubeless can, the new one is fabricated via additive manufacturing — 3D printing in metal. Dead Air has more experience than most when it comes to additive manufacturing. Their Lazarus 6 and Mojave 9 cans are both made this way and make use of a patented helical baffle design that…
