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…

The Brief: The Department of Justice filed a federal lawsuit against a local county for enacting ordinances that restrict concealed carry within 100 yards of public venues. Federal prosecutors argue these buffer zones violate Supreme Court precedent and lack the historical justification required for declaring specific locations sensitive under constitutional standards. The lawsuit asserts that local governments cannot create expansive restricted areas that inadvertently penalize lawful permit holders. This legal action aims to provide consistent carry rights and prevent a patchwork of municipal rules. Analysts expect the case to influence similar judicial reviews of carry restrictions across the country. ROCKVILLE,…

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…

Steven Spielberg’s 1998 film Saving Private Ryan is pure Hollywood fiction, but it was inspired by the true — and all too tragic — story of the five Sullivan brothers. The siblings enlisted/re-enlisted in the U.S. Navy following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and insisted they serve together on the same warship. All were killed less than a year later when the Altanta-class light cruiser USS Juneau (CL-52) was sunk at the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal on November 13, 1942.

The Brief: A national coalition of gun rights organizations has filed a federal amicus brief challenging Maryland’s refusal to recognize out-of-state concealed carry permits. The legal challenge argues that current state policies create unconstitutional barriers for nonresidents and impose significant administrative burdens on law-abiding citizens traveling across state lines. The lawsuit highlights the conflict between state licensing statutes and Second Amendment protections for public self-defense. Legal experts suggest the outcome could influence national standards for interstate reciprocity. Currently, travelers must navigate a complex landscape of varying state laws and federal transport provisions to avoid criminal penalties. ANNAPOLIS, MD — A…
