When we first started hunting turkeys here in New York’s Hudson Valley, back in the mid-1980s, our gear would be best described as primitive when compared to today’s kit. Though we had a season in place since before I was born—the first New York spring season was in place in …

The senseless homicides of six in Sacramento are tragic. It is a shocking and sober reminder that criminals have no respect for the law or for human life. That’s why it is appalling that politicians immediately leaped to calls for more gun control without knowing even the basic facts of …

At 36 pounds, the Boys could hardly be called portable, but it weighed substantially less than a Browning M2 .50 BMG, which tipped the scales at 128 pounds with its tripod. In the dark hours before dawn on the 17th of August, 1942, two U.S. Navy submarines cautiously surfaced off …

As the unconstitutional Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives attempts to cover for Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, amid a gun scandal, as if the man didn’t have enough scandal to deal with, I thought it would behoove us to go back in time to October 2014, the year following …

It’s truly incredible what men will do to go around tyrannical bureaucrats and agents of the state infringing on our rights.

The phrase “new and improved” has all but lost its meaning as anything but a marketing cliché, but that is exactly, and honestly, how I’d describe the Wolfman suppressor from Dead Air. The Wolfman is a follow-up and enhanced version of the company’s Wolf-9SD, and though the two cans look nearly identical, the …

Why Bob? Bear with me on this. It’s hazy. I seem to remember several elements coalescing one night in the kitchen of a house in which I lived in Columbia, Md., around 1990. My wife and kids were asleep. It was late. I was in a period of next-book distress. …

Modern guns are pretty accurate. Even slightly trained people can pick up a pistol and shoot somewhere near a bullseye on paper.
