by Lee Williams Michael L. Nance, MD, is a very busy man.  He is chief of the Division of Pediatric General, Thoracic, and Fetal Surgery, and director of the Pediatric Trauma Program at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, which is known as “CHOP.”  Nance has also been called both an associate and an investigator for CHOP’s Center for Violence Prevention, which is almost violently anti-gun.  The Center for Violence Prevention publicly supports wild anti-gun policies such as mandatory child-access laws, universal background checks, strict limits on “assault-style weaponry,” court-ordered firearm storage laws and, of course, more funding for firearm-related research,…

Three years ago, Luke Beaty was driving a rural road in southwest Missouri’s Lawrence County when he spotted a buck that took his breath away. “He was huge, and he was on private land, so I started knocking on doors asking permission to hunt him,” Beaty tells Outdoor Life. “I got permission to hunt a 140-acre piece of private land in an area the buck was living in.” Beaty spent time learning and walking the area and setting up trail cameras.…

Sign up for the On The Gun Newsletter The latest for gun hunters and competitive shooters. I’ve been shooting and hunting with the Nemo Electus a lot this fall and am pleased to report that we are getting along swimmingly. This doesn’t come as a surprise, given the rifle’s origin story. It is the brainchild of Jeff Sipe, president of Nemo Arms, who set out to develop the best possible bolt-action for technical Western hunters — something that is compact and light enough to haul around the mountains all day, can shrug off hard use and still perform at a…

The Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial in Margraten, the only American military cemetery in the Netherlands, has quietly removed panels displaying the contributions of Black American soldiers during WWII, sparking outrage from Dutch and American citizens.One of the two displays featured an overall history of Black American military personnel fighting a double V campaign — victory at home and abroad — while the other told the story of George H. Pruitt, a Black soldier in the 43rd Signal Construction Battalion who drowned a month after the war’s end while attempting to save a comrade’s life in a German river.The two…

Military families have some decisions to make about their health care before Tricare open season ends Dec. 9. Tricare officials released information about increases in health plan costs for 2026, so families can compare their options with Tricare Prime and Tricare Select. There’s also a new health care choice for families living in the metro areas of Atlanta, Georgia, and Tampa, Florida.Tricare open season applies to those enrolled in or eligible for Tricare Prime or Tricare Select. During this period, enrolled beneficiaries can make changes to their health coverage — such as switching from Tricare Prime to Tricare Select, or…

We have a new contender in the 4-inch-barrel, 17+1 9mm market. It’s called the KOR FX-9 RP.  Why, you may ask, do we need (yet another) 9mm that imitates the Glock 45? To answer that in two words, they sell. This is the current hot combination: a shorter barrel (less than 5 inches) coupled with a capacity of at least 17 rounds. They sell. Before us, we have one of the newer versions, the KOR FX-9 RP. Again, I can almost hear a collective “Huh? KOR?” coming from Readerland. I said the same thing when my son, who is always…

Last month, three drones rigged with explosives detonated outside a prosecutor’s office in Tijuana, Mexico, besieging six cars parked outside with a blast of nails, BBs and metal fragments. The attack was orchestrated by a cartel, Mexican government officials confirmed, and targeted an anti-kidnapping unit of the Baja state attorney general’s office. It is the latest high-profile example of first-person view drones being used by cartels to replicate military tactics being used in Ukraine. Defense News previously reported that members of Latin American drug cartels had joined Ukraine’s foreign fighter volunteer units to gain FPV drone training. Earlier this year,…

An Iraq War veteran was killed Wednesday morning while attempting to intervene in an alleged domestic dispute involving an active-duty airman assigned to Whiteman Air Force Base.Just after 7 a.m., local dispatch authorities received multiple calls reporting a domestic disturbance in a Warrensburg, Missouri, neighborhood about 10 miles west of the air base. Once on scene, responding police located an armed suspect fleeing on foot. The suspect, who an Air Force spokesperson has since identified as Senior Airman Glyzua Ingram, proceeded to fire multiple rounds in the direction of the arriving officers. Army veteran Tony Barron, who previously deployed to…

Most conversations about suppressors fixate on decibel reduction. People often cite OSHA standards and hearing damage thresholds when discussing numbers like 130 dB versus 160 dB. These metrics matter, certainly, but they only tell part of the story. The real advantage of shooting with a suppressed firearm extends far beyond what a sound meter captures. It involves the complete physiological experience of shooting and how your body responds to the complex forces generated when a firearm discharges. I’ve spent enough time behind both suppressed and unsuppressed rifles to recognize something the decibel charts don’t explain. After a day at the…

The U.S. Marine Corps has deployed a unit equipped with MQ-9A Reaper drones to the South China Sea to provide support to Philippine forces there amid a series of clashes with Chinese vessels. The unit is deployed on a temporary basis and the drones are unarmed, a Marine Corps spokesperson told Defense News in a statement.“At the request of the Philippine government, Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron (VMU) 1 is temporarily deployed to the Philippines to support Philippine regional maritime security through shared maritime domain awareness,” the spokesperson said.“The temporary stationing of unarmed MQ-9As to the Philippines demonstrates mutual commitment…

When one of us first argued in Foreign Policy in 2022 that Israel and the Gulf states should form a U.S.-backed multinational rapid-response force, the idea seemed ahead of its time. The Abraham Accords were still fresh, and the notion of Arab and Israeli troops training and operating side by side seemed politically remote. Now, three years later, the logic has not only endured — it has been tested repeatedly in crisis after crisis.The region has outgrown ad-hoc securityThe merit for this concept, which we began developing in 2019 while leading Marines in the Middle East, has only strengthened. The…

Outdoor recreation on America’s public lands and waters generates about $351 million every day for the federal government, local communities, counties, and states. It’s the rough economic impact of hosting eight Super Bowls every single month, according to a new report by the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable. The report drills into the direct impact of recreation on public lands, a portion of the overall $1.2 trillion outdoor recreation economy. “We don’t exist without those federally protected areas,” says Peter Kostantacos, owner and…

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 arrives with the weight of two decades of expectations behind it, yet the newest entry in Treyarch’s signature series feels less like a victory lap and more like a course correction. The studio spent years building this game, and the result is a tightly constructed mix of single-player storytelling, revamped multiplayer balance and an ambitious Zombies mode that sets the tone for the next era of the franchise. For veterans who grew up with the series or served while these games shaped pop culture, Black Ops 7 lands in familiar territory. It returns to…
