I first became aware of Mantis-X training systems a couple of years ago during the COVID lockdown. Ammo was so scarce and expensive that I thought seriously about buying one, but my job at the time was off and on and I had to put it off for a while.

Though most people don’t know it, the Illinois State Police (ISP) now make house calls. However, they aren’t coming to welcome new neighbors or bring good cheer. Instead, they’re coming to confiscate the firearms from those with revoked Firearms Owners ID cards. While few would argue the merits of grabbing guns out of the hands of convicted violent felons, the ISP revokes FOID cards often without due process. This past week, the ISP put out a press release about “compliance checks,” an almost Orwellian description of gun confiscation details. The Belleville News-Democrat shared the press release: Illinois State Police announced Wednesday that it has forced…
There are upsides and downsides to renting your home instead of owning it. For one thing, when something breaks, you just call your landlord and they’re on the hook for getting it fixed.

To get elected to statewide office in California, you pretty much have to support gun control. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a driving force for you, but you’ve got to back it to some degree. There’s really no other way to appeal to the liberal masses in the state’s large cities. When we talk about those cities, San Diego isn’t usually the first place we think of. After all, this is a state with Los Angeles and San Francisco. Yet San Diego has become very and vehemently anti-gun. Now, the California attorney general is urging other cities to follow San…
The Remington 870 ONG pump shotgun and CAO Gold Cigar, simple yet complicated, the perfect gun cigar pair.
If you’ve been in the firearms world for long, you’ve probably heard someone make a comment about District of Columbia v. Heller.
