CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The change I wrote about this spring is now the law. As of June 12, 2026, any West Virginia adult 18 and older can carry a concealed deadly weapon without first getting a license. That date marked 90 days from the passage of House Bill 4106, which Governor Patrick Morrisey s...
Have you ever had a handgun that you immediately loved the way it shoots, feels and carries? That is, beyond question, how I feel about the Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro 9mm. In my many years with it, the Hellcat Pro has proven to be reliable and accurate — truly a premier carry pistol. W...
Private Dwayne Hicks sat in an expansive classroom alongside the rest of his platoon of newly minted boots. Each Marine had a well-used Pulse Rifle sitting on the table in front of them.

PORT ST. LUCIE, FLA. — Two armed citizens stopped a convicted felon from dragging a 74-year-old woman into a car outside a Florida church, and police say stepping in likely saved her life. It happened around 10:49 a.m. on May 31 at First United Methodist Church on Southwest Prima Vista Boulevar...
The older I get, the less keen I am on having a different bag for every occasion. I’d much prefer to have one bag that does it all for traveling, work and everyday use. I’ve gone through a couple of dedicated flight bags, duffels and backpacks over the years and while most are excellent a...
