Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and New Jersey Second Amendment Society (NJ2AS) announced the filing of a new federal lawsuit challenging the State of New Jersey’s laws that prevent individuals from carrying a loaded handgun outside of the home for self-defense. This new lawsuit challenges New Jersey’s criminal statutory scheme as it relates to carrying loaded, operable handguns outside of the home without a permit as well as the State’s regulatory scheme as it relates to applications for and issuance of carry permits. The case, Bennett v. Davis, can be viewed at FPCLegal.org. |

While discussion of the Second Amendment and gun control have been noticeably absent from the presidential debates and mainstream media coverage, gun rights are without a doubt on the ballot tomorrow. On no other issue do the candidates stand in such stark contrast. President Trump has been a strong defender of the right to keep and bear arms, but Joe Biden wants to destroy the Second Amendment.

Rogue elements of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are continuing their assault on certain types of commonly-owned semi-automatic pistols. According to the law firm Wiley, ATF has developed a new interpretation of “handgun” that threatens to curtail the supply of foreign-manufactured pistols and could put many law-abiding gun owners in legal jeopardy. |

Living in rural Arizona, I expect to see a snake every time I step outside. While I almost never see one, I expect one to be there. As I move about in this environment, I expect to see scorpions, coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats, loose dogs and bad people, among others. Just the other night, I saw a mountain lion at my gate while I was outside looking for my dog. I looked at the lion, it looked at me, it strolled by and quickly disappeared. Things happen, and I expect them. |

The wonderful thing about the AR-15 is its popularity has driven manufacturers to offer endless variations. Consumers now have a boundless variety of AR configurations from which to choose, because the companies that make them are partnering with other companies that manufacture aftermarket accessories. That’s exactly what Springfield Armory did, teaming up with B5 Systems to offer four new B5 Systems-equipped Saint rifles and pistols.

This month’s cover feature is on the 2020 U.S. Helice National Championships. For those unfamiliar with the game, helice is a clay sport that has been popular in Europe since the 1960s and is gaining ground stateside. Instead of using a traditional clay bird, the target for helice (often called a “ZZ bird”) has a round, plastic “witness cap” attached to a propeller. The wings provide for erratic flight and a difficult shooting game. When struck by pellets, the witness cap separates from the propeller, which signals a successful hit. Author Greg Tinsley recaps the 2020 Helice Nationals, and goes more in depth about the sport in “Beauty and the Helice.”

Hollow point bullets come in an amazing array of styles, and among them is the boat tail. The hollow point boat tail bullet (HP-BT) – also known as the boat tail hollow point or BTHP ammo – is primarily a rifle ammunition used for hunting big game at long range, and is sometimes used as a coyote and wolf ammo. Like other hollow points, the bullet expands rapidly upon impact, creating a large wound channel and typically stopping most creatures in their tracks with that single shot. |

I was fortunate enough to tour the CZ factory in the Czech Republic some years ago after this beautiful country was freed from the yoke of Communism. During my drive to the massive factory complex we passed block after block of depressing grey concrete “apartment” housing units. In the grey morning light, they looked more like prisons, courtesy of their former Russian rulers. It was sobering, and frankly, I wasn’t sure what to expect at CZ.

35 Pieces of Deer-Hunting Wisdom to Read Before You Hunt This Season

What’s the most important piece of deer hunting advice you’ve ever received? I’m guessing it didn’t have anything to do with pre-rut tactics, analyzing moon phases, or developing cellular trail camera strategies. It was probably a lot simpler. Maybe something like: “Stop wiggling so damn much and listen for deer.” The thing is, these little lessons are actually pretty hard to learn. That’s because you have to live them firsthand and even blow a few hunts before they start to sink in. Compile enough of these experiences in the deer woods and, over time, something like wisdom starts to develop. New hunting tactics can be effective, the latest gear and the hottest new guns are fun to obsess over, but it’s wisdom that kills deer. |

It’s been said if you give a soldier or cop an anvil for Christmas, he’ll break it by Valentine’s Day. Their equipment necessarily has to be reliable and capable of withstanding the rigors of hard use, day-in and day-out. My shotgun of choice for the last several years meets the above criteria. It is a Mossberg 590A1. I’m not alone as it is the duty shotgun of choice for military and law enforcement agencies worldwide. It is the only pump action shotgun to pass MilSpec 3443E in the shotgun selection process. |
