When it comes to picking your next semi-automatic everyday carry (EDC) handgun, two calibers that you should consider are the .380 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) and the 9mm Luger (9x19mm NATO, 9mm Parabellum).

Justice Sonia Sotomayor in a fiery dissent harshly denounced a Supreme Court ruling Friday that rejected a ban on bump stocks, saying it eviscerates the congressional regulation of machine guns. Today, the Court puts bump stocks back in civilian hands, Sotomayor wrote in a dissent joined by fellow liberal Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. To do so, it casts aside Congresss definition of machinegun and seizes upon one that is inconsistent with the ordinary meaning of the statutory text and unsupported by context or purpose.

The moment it clicked to me that the 22 ARC might have more potential than being just another gas-gun varmint cartridge was when I sent five rounds in a row into a 16-inch steel plate at 1,000 yards in a 10- to 12-mph crosswind. The surprising part, to me, was that I was able to hold the same windage correction I just used with my 6.5 CM bolt gun shooting 140-grain Sierra MatchKing bullets.

A ban on guns at the University of Michigan will stand after the state Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from a man who said the policy violates the Constitution.

The 4-2 order Friday means a 2023 Michigan Court of Appeals decision in favor of the university stands.

The appeals court was asked to look at the universitys 2001 gun ban, after the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022 expanded gun rights.

The efficacy of gun bans as a public safety measure is a matter of debate, the appeals court said. However, because the university is a school, and thus a sensitive place, it is up to the policy-maker the university in this case to determine how to address that public safety concern.
