A Louisville, Kentucky, homeowner is now facing a murder charge for chasing down and fatally shooting an alleged home invader.

Employees of a Ferguson convenience store who were looted last year during protests took steps to make sure it didn’t happen again.

It’s easy to armchair-quarterback after reading about or watching an officer-involved shooting or other deadly use of force, but one reporter discovered first-hand just how difficult those decision can be in the heat of the moment.

Video surveillance cameras captured the moments before a rookie Texas police officer fatally shot an unarmed black teenager after responding to a burglary call at a car dealership.

A British Special Air Service Sniper reached out over 1,000 yards and connected with an Islamic State jihadist just as the executioner was about to behead a young boy and his father.

There was a lot of buzz this week about the UFC and their position on gun sponsorships after a writer on one of the gun blogs noticed that the GunsAmerica sponsorship was blurred out on the television. This “new” discovery was spun up to imply that the UFC, and even MMA fighters, were anti-gun.

Kimber’s got a line of pistols out that are custom built for summer. We’ve been seeing pictures of them for a couple of months, and now the first one is here for a review. And what better way to celebrate summer than with a compact single action? How about one that’s a brilliant blue? Put Pet Sounds on the hi-fi and read our review.

Some prepping subjects are sexy, and some are decidedly not. But the one thing you always have to remember is that you have to eat and drink, first and foremost. Then it comes down to what you think is going to happen. I spoke to a guy this week who has been a prepping expert for years, including some cool alternative energy stuff. But when pressed, he admitted to me that he isn’t prepared for anything longer than a month or two. That’s great, and it’s way better than sticking your head in the sand and doing nothing, but I think we have a long time of off grid living coming our way, and if you have a bunch of people to feed, that means you would have to grow and regrow some of your own food at the very least. That sounds simple, but gardening is not as easy as you might think. Even if you get things to grow reliably, pests will come along and eat them all up. And then you have to save seeds for next year. That is the spectacularly nonsexy topic of this week’s article.

The GunsAmerica crew spends a lot of time sweating over the groups we shoot with modern rifles. But there’s more to guns. Sometimes building a working piece of history has its own appeal. Terril Hebert built this left-handed Fusil de Chasse and has this perspective on the old muzzleloader.
