It seems only fitting that a major gun manufacturer like Springfield Armory would want to honor and commemorate an American hero like Chris Kyle with a special edition and exclusive pistol like this TRP Operator .45 ACP 1911.

The HST line is the next generation of the Hydra-Shok basic design and delivers effective penetration and performance.

There will never be anything cooler than building a real, working and safe-shooting firearm from scratch when it comes to DIY street cred.

The Stoeger P3000 Pump-action Shotgun. If you need a waterfowl, hunting slug gun, or home defense shotgun, and are constrained by budget, this is a great way to pick up a brand new one for less than 300 bucks.

This watchlist business is a slippery slope if there ever was one. No-Fly, No-Buy, No-Lie. Just you wait and see. It’s coming.

I think there is a huge difference between long term “bug-in” survival preparations, and short term “bug-out” survival preparations. Depending on your situation, bug-out might be your only option. As I explained in my bugout pack article, most of what you carry should be food.
