Hardware: HEVI-Shot Non-Toxic Shotshells
Oregon-based HEVI-Shot has been producing top-of-the-line non-toxic shotshell hunting loads for the past 22 years. It doesn’t make centerfire or rimfire ammo (yet…) and it doesn’t load anything with lead. So, for shotgunners looking for options for hunts in lead-restricted areas: HEVI-Shot is it. In 2000, HEVI-Shot started up with the goal …

Review: Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 28 Gauge
It could be easily and successfully argued that Benelli’s Super Black Eagle 2 (SBE2), which made its debut in 2004, is the most successful 3½”-chambered, 12-ga. semi-automatic shotgun of all time. Like its predecessor, the SBE2 was ultra-reliable (even when neglected) due to its simplistic, yet innovative, design. As good as …
“Fact Checker:” Forcible Removal of Guns Before their Owner Has a Chance to Make His Case in Court is not “Confiscat[ion] of Firearms Without Due Process”
It’s election time, and supposedly “independent fact-checkers” are again bending the truth to support a political agenda. This time they are contorting evidence and linguistics to insist it is “mostly false” that “red flag laws” allow the government “to confiscate your firearms without due process.” For some time now, the …
