Body armor can’t protect you unless you wear it… Whatever your reasons may be for wanting to wear body armor, everyone agrees on one thing: It’s kind of heavy and hot and can get unpleasant if you’re active or the conditions are warm. That’s why at this year’s SHOT Show, AR500 Armor debuted two new armor…
I know you’re not reading anything I’ve written here. That’s OK. Take your time. It’s hypnotic, isn’t it? Every time you think you’ve arrived at a number of points, another five or six present themselves. I can’t tear my eyes away for long. Ahem. What you’re looking at there just might be the biggest hunter-taken…
Every year, I get together with some friends and hunt Maine’s whitetail season. And every year, we draw straws to see who has to be the Camp Bitch…e.g., the guy who has to cook dinner every night. This year it seems the title will be mine, so my very first act as Camp Bitch is…
Your gun club may have a dozen members, or hundreds…but they all have these three guys. Any place people gather to enjoy a mutual hobby, of course, you’re going to see a certain recurrence of “types.” Gun clubs are no exception, and it doesn’t matter whether your gun club has a dozen members or hundreds,…

In this video, Personal Defense Network’s Rob Pincus dissects a particularly heartbreaking law-enforcement bodycam video–and we’ll warn you, although it’s not graphic, it’s definitely tough to watch. What makes this so tragic is that, as Pincus demonstrates, neither the armed homeowner who was shot by the officer nor the officer himself did anything wrong legally,…
Today, we have a guest column from our resident gun-control expert Ima Nidiot, human wind tunnel and personification of the word “moist.” Take it away, Ima! Hello again, my deplorable bitter clingers! This might come as something of a surprise to you, me starting up my own tactical training academy and all, and I know…
Unlike those dumb ads about the [your area] mom and her ONE WEIRD TRICK that dentists hate, these actually work… If you’re like me, you devour hunting blogs and magazines like bacon-wrapped shrimp on an all-you-can-eat-buffet…and if you’re like me, you don’t kill anywhere near as many deer as you’d like each hunting season. It’s…
Whitetail deer: gentle, shy, and not at all dangerous. Or are they…? “Nature, red in tooth and claw.” The saying’s meant to remind us that wild animals can be dangerous to human beings, but it’s easy to forget that when the animal in question doesn’t have claws, canines, or carnassials. It’s even easier to forget…
Every gun owner meets at least one of these in their lifetime… If you own firearms and you don’t mind letting people know it, sooner or later one of them will ask you if they can borrow one of those guns. Although there are about 300 million people in America, and every one is a…
Some veterans’ organizations shy away from guns and hunting. Not HAVA. Honored American Veterans Afield (HAVA) is a nonprofit organization formed by companies in the shooting and outdoor industry to raise awareness and further assist disabled veterans with their healing processes. Unlike some other veterans’ assistance programs, HAVA offers guided hunts, shooting events, and other…
