If you want to increase the stopping power of your standard AR-15 chambered in 5.56 NATO, then converting it to fire 300 Blackout or 6.8 SPC are both excellent options. Both rifle cartridges offer improved terminal ballistics over the 5.56 and function well for home defense, hunting, and general target shooting. |

CBS News reported that the weekend’s first fatal shooting occurred Friday about 9:30 p.m. “in the 1300 block of South Michigan Avenue.” Two men got into an argument and a gun was produced, and the gun was fired as the two men fought over it. A 31-year-old year old man was shot in the head and killed. |

In 1975, when grizzly bears in the lower 48 states were regulated as “threatened” by the federal Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior, the standard required to use deadly force against them, in defense of self and others, was unclear. In 2017 and 2021, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit created a binding precedent that clarified the standard to be used when a person claimed defense of self and/or others against grizzly bears in the lower 48 states. |

On Tuesday, September 2, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that an Illinois concealed carry ban on the CTA and Metra public transportation lines is not unconstitutional, reversing a previous federal judge who found the law in violation under current Supreme Court standards. The original ruling came after four concealed carry permit holders sued the state over part of its 2013 Firearm Concealed Carry Act, claiming the law prevented them from carrying weapons for self-defense. |

On September 5, 2025, U.S. District Judge David W. Dugan in the Southern District of Illinois issued a ruling in Morse v. Raoul that every gun owner needs to pay attention to. The case challenged Illinois’s outright ban on firearm suppressors, arguing that the devices fall under the Second Amendment’s protection of “arms.” The court didn’t see it that way—and that decision could ripple far beyond suppressors. |
