SAF Fights Maryland Glock Ban
SAF filed a reply brief backing its injunction motion against Maryland's law banning Glock-style pistols over their unique trigger bar design. The suit argues the state is punishing lawful gun owners for a conversion that's already a federal felony.
GLOCK Sues Connecticut Over Ban
GLOCK is suing Connecticut over a machinegun-conversion ban so vague that state police reportedly couldn't tell the company whether its own anti-conversion pistols are legal to sell after October 1.
NFA Items in 2026: What Actually Changed, and Who It Applies To
Two changes eleven months apart did more to the National Firearms Act than anything since 1934. The $200 tax on suppressors, SBRs and SBSs went to zero on January 1. On August 5 a federal judge struck the registration scheme itself. But that injunction covers a specific list of people, and living in a plaintiff state does not put you on it.

Alaska 2026 Hunting Regulations: What Changed
Alaska hunters are dealing with a two-track shakeup in 2026 — a major federal proposal to roll back years of restrictions on national preserve hunting, and a state-level bill that would make it harder to qualify as a resident for licensing purposes.
Utah 2026 Hunting Regulations: What Changed
Utah's 2026 season is coming in with more deer permits on the table, a raft of new laws out of the legislative session, and a harvest reporting system that now has real teeth.
Montana 2026 Hunting Regulations: What Changed
Montana's 2026 hunting season looks meaningfully different from last year — the 2025 Legislature passed several new laws, the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission set new regulations in December 2025, and the way you buy your license has changed from the ground up.
Home Defense Firearms: Shotgun vs Pistol vs AR-15
Somebody breaks your front door at 2 a.m. You've got maybe seconds to get to your firearm, get your family clear, and be ready. The gun sitting in your nightstand better be one you can actually run -- not the one that looked cool at the gun store six months ago.
Concealed Carry Holster Types Explained
You bought the gun. You took the class. Now you're standing in a gun store or scrolling through Amazon at midnight, staring at roughly four hundred holster options and wondering how any of this is supposed to make sense. It doesn't — until someone explains what the trade-offs actually are.
Beginner's Guide to Shotgun Sports: Trap, Skeet, and Sporting Clays
You show up at a clay range for the first time and someone hands you a shotgun, points at an orange disc screaming across the sky, and says "just follow it." You shoot. You miss. You shoot again. And somewhere around the third or fourth broken clay, something clicks -- and you get it.
