You don’t have to look very hard on YouTube to find videos of long-suffering kids reaching their breaking point with bullies and finally fighting back. The scenes vary in geography, gender, and the size and age difference of the kids involved, but each scene generally goes down the same way. The video picks up mid-conflict. The bully is in full aggressor mode: stalking after the victim, cutting them off, pushing them, taunting them, and getting in their envelope of personal space, sometimes looming over them like a beast. The bullying victim is folded over, trying to make themselves smaller. Or…

It’s never a bad idea to stockpile ammo. If you’re a doomsday prepper who’s always coming up with strategies to survive the zombie apocalypse, you already know how important it is to have some bullets for that weapons cache you’ve got in your gun safe. But storing ammo isn’t necessarily as simple as putting it in a box and forgetting about it. It requires a little bit of pampering. Otherwise, you could be ruining your ammo before you ever get to use it. FN 502 Tactical Today we’re going to talk a little bit about ammo storage, as well as…
Habits — we all have them. But just like there’s no such thing as a “good” gun or an “evil” gun, there’s no such thing as a good habit or a bad habit. There are only habits that help or habits that don’t help. Help what? Help you to be more effective in the pursuit of your security and the security and safety of your loved ones. To be truly safe in this world would require a nanny state the size of which I am not willing to accept. Thomas Jefferson said it best in a letter to James Madison…
Today’s school shooting in St. Louis has provided an excellent illustration of a fact I have been noting for years. Active killers often have weapon malfunctions during their attack. Read this witness statement: “All I heard was two shots and he came in there with a gun,” Gholston said. “And I was trying to run and I couldn’t run. Me and him made eye contact but I made it out because his gun got jammed. But we saw blood on the floor.” Jamming weapons are incredibly common in active shooter events. In fact, another spree shooting that most of you will remember (the…
Florida – -(AmmoLand.com)- Today’s criminals look at hurricane evacuees about the same way Caribbean pirates salivated over fat Spanish merchant ships heavily laden with gold. At the very least, hurricane evacuees have a car full of gas, hundreds of dollars in cash, prescription drugs, food, water, and valuables too precious to leave at home. Florida recognized this in 2015, when then-Gov. Rick Scott signed what became known as the state’s “Hurricane Gun Law.” The law allows Floridians to carry a concealed firearm for 48 hours while complying with a mandatory evacuation order, regardless of whether they have a valid Concealed Weapon…
Primary Arms’ Gen 3 SLx prism scope line has a new mount and an updated reticle. But before we go there, let’s talk about the ACSS reticle. In case you didn’t already know, the ACSS reticle designed by Dimitri Mikroulis is held in high esteem. Here’s a video in which Dimitri explains how to use the reticle. If you haven’t seen it before, well…we think you’ll be mighty impressed! https://youtu.be/nxwaiDeXP8c …the ACSS reticle seamlessly integrates bullet drop compensation, wind holds, moving target leads, and range estimation “…into an easy to use, instinctive sighting system that is very fast from 0-300…
For veterans of the United States Armed Forces, the 21-gun salute is a fairly popular thing at funerals. It’s seven guns firing blanks into the air three times. You’ve seen it in countless movies, of course, and it’s often the mark of losing a hero. But it also seems like it may be another of the unexpected casualties of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s rushed gun control law as well. Veteran organizations in New York are fearful the state’s new, strict gun laws could lead to the prosecution of members participating in the long tradition of firing a 21-gun salute at a veteran’s…
A staple of the firearms market for the past quarter century, the third generational variant of the Glock 19 is still tough to beat. While Glock made waves with its 17+1-shot standard-sized Model 17 in 1986 when it was introduced to the U.S., when the new G19 was debuted just three years later, it proved an easy hit. Advertised as some 6.77 inches long and 4.64 inches high, the easy-handling pistol with its 15+1 capacity of 9mm was everything you could ask for in a compact pistol and was dramatically lighter and, at the same time, simpler than the common double-action/single-action guns on the…
Let’s face it, there are some cool rifles out there. There’s the HK416, a derivative of the M16 that is best known as the rifle used by SEAL Team Six to kill Osama bin Laden. There is the Steyr AUG, a so-called “bullpup” design that packs a full-sized rifle in a shorter package. There is, of course, the M1 Garand, celebrated by George S. Patton and R. Lee Ermey. Others don’t fare so well, like the Canadian Ross rifle, an effort by America’s northern neighbor to be self-reliant in at least some aspect of small arms. It didn’t work, and today Canada uses…
The term “budget AR” is one that can make a person cringe (or worse, depending on their level of drama and snobbery). It’s not always a bad term, however, and in some cases, it’s a very good one. Case in point: the Stag Arms Stag 15. The Stag 15 and the Leupold Mark AR15 scope. Start Stag Since its founding in 2003, Stag Arms has been producing quality AR-15 rifles for eager consumers at prices that won’t break the bank.
