United States President Donald Trump has promised every single American, except those who are “high income”, a $2000 tariff dividend. This dividend would be funded by his tariff policies and is currently under review for “legality” by the Supreme Court. “A dividend of at least $2,000 a person (not including…

Oral arguments begin before the Oregon Supreme Court in the challenge to Measure 114—the restrictive gun-control law passed by voters three years ago. For background, Measure 114 was voted on in November 2022 and passed by a narrow margin of 50.65% to 49.35%. The law includes a very restrictive permit-to-purchase scheme, so-called “universal” background checks, and a 10-round magazine capacity limit. The permit-to-purchase provision is extremely problematic in that even if Oregon citizens jump through all the required hoops, receiving the permit doesn’t mean they’ll be able to purchase a firearm. The law actually states: “A permit-to-purchase issued under this…

In the dense jungles of Vietnam, where every movement could mean life or death, MACV-SOG needed a rifle that was short, fast, and deadly. They found it in the CAR-15, a weapon that could be shouldered in a narrow bamboo thicket, fired from a helicopter skid, and carried for days behind enemy lines. Today, decades after its heyday, I set out to build my own modern tribute to that iconic gun. This is my bastardized version, part historical homage, part practical shooter. It’s not a one-for-one clone, but it captures the XM177E2 Vietnam-era CAR-15 vibe while adding some modern reliability…

This story, “Better Pheasant Hunting Alone,” was originally published in the October 1984 issue of Outdoor Life. Over the past several years, I’ve kept records on more than 100 pheasant hunts. During that time, I’ve hunted both alone and with as many as nine other gunners. All in all, I’ve come up with some pretty interesting figures. For instance, my take on solo hunts has averaged more than twice that of when I was with two or more other people. The…
Few firearms command attention quite like the Mark XIX Desert Eagle Carbo Blue. With its stunning PVD sapphire finish and the brute force of the .50 Action Express (AE) cartridge, this version of the legendary Desert Eagle enters a realm beyond typical handguns, one of mechanical artistry, cinematic iconography, and elite-level collecting. Desert Eagle Legacy: The Origins of the Carbo Blue Icon The Desert Eagle was first conceptualized in the early 1980s by Magnum Research Inc. (MRI) in the United States. The firearm was then refined and produced in partnership with Israel Military Industries (IMI), later rebranded as Israel Weapon Industries…

The wealth of the top 1 percent has reached $52 trillion, and CEO salaries have jumped 1,094 percent since 1978. Many of those who are sitting at the top of the economic pyramid wonder what all of the fuss is about. But for the rest of us, we know how badly economic conditions have deteriorated because we are living it every day. The following are 18 numbers which clearly show what direction things…

This story, Killer Bears of Alaska, was originally published in the March 1981 issue of Outdoor Life. Do grizzly bears hold grudges? How dangerous are grizzlies? Ask Al Thompson, a 44-year-old Division of Fish and Wildlife Protection officer (game warden) who patrols Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. He won’t commit himself on the first question, but he doesn’t mince words on the second. Al and his wife Joyce moved north from Casnovia, Michigan, in 1968, and they went deep into the Alaska Range…
