The new year is going to present both new opportunities and new challenges for gun owners. I hope we’re ready for both. Let’s get the bad news out of the way first. A divided Congress is going to mean most legislation (not just Second Amendment-related bills) will stall out before it reaches President Donald Trump’s desk. |

When we talk about the future of the Second Amendment, it is correct to note that the suburbs could be decisive. But there is another area which could be ripe for Second Amendment supporters to make gains – and which could help offset any gains made by former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and other anti-Second Amendment extremists. |

Reining my horse at the edge of the woods, I peered into the tangle of undergrowth, motionless, listening for any telltale sound of the bushwhackers. A bluejay’s scolding bark presently told me they were in there, all right, and to be ready for a shootout.

Deer hunters using modern guns have one more chance to collect on their scouting time and tag a trophy. The statewide modern gun Holiday Deer Hunt is Wednesday through Friday.

This past deer season had to be one of the toughest I have ever experienced. And though the New York state DEC is projecting that the total whitetail harvest is going to be about the same as last year (somewhere north of 200,000 animals) according to their preliminary estimates, 2018 was overall difficult for deer hunters. |

I have never been hunting. It’s simply never been something that I found a lot of interest in. Still, I enjoy games like Duck Hunt and even the occasional round of Big Buck Hunter at bar arcades, here and there. Cabela’s The Hunt: Championship Edition isn’t anything like those aforementioned games but, despite some flaws, the title did provide me with an experience that helped me learn, and perhaps even appreciate, the sport of hunting. |

With a scent machine that wafts grapefruit and vanilla fragrances through the air, guns displayed in cases similar to those found in jewelry stores and a high-end women's fashion boutique, the suburban Kansas City, Missouri, business that Bren and Mike Brown opened three years ago aims to take the women's gun store concept well past pink guns. "There's nothing like this across the United States," Bren Brown said as she walked around the 33,000-square-foot Frontier Justice store in Lee's Summit. |

It’s hard to miss the Gadsden Flag these days. Although it sprung back into popular American consciousness when the Tea Party first got its legs, this is a flag with a long and storied history. In fact, the flag is older than the United States itself. |

Kimber surprised most of us wheelgunners when the maker of high-quality 1911s and bolt-action rifles jumped into revolver manufacturing. Rather than focusing on the popular lightweight, snub-nose pocket-revolver market, the company brought out a six-shot .357 Mag.-caliber wheelgun called the K6s. Using stainless steel to build the revolver, the weight came in at 23 ounces, unloaded. |

“Guardians of the Galaxy” star Chris Pratt was characterized as “problematic” by an entertainment magazine because he hunts in what many are calling a "hit piece." TV Guide published an article titled "How to love Chris Pratt without hating yourself" by senior editor Kaitlin Thomas as part of a series that ranked different actors named Chris. Stars such as Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pine and Chris Klein made the list in which Thomas declared that Pratt is “complicated and divisive” because “some of the shine wears off” when examining the actor's personal life. |
