A controversial Idaho bar promotion offering free beer to people who report undocumented immigrants to ICE, the online backlash and the debate it sparked about protest tactics and immigration enforcement.

We examine the Renee Good SUV incident, review video angles and legal perspectives, and discuss when protests cross into obstruction, endangering officers and the public.

Finally, we unpack the NRA/Foundation lawsuit, interim fixes to Friends of the NRA and the Whittington Center, and plans to modernize NRA education and training while confronting entrenched organizational culture.

The Dear Shooter crew returns sick but spirited, breaking down the U.S. capture and indictment of Nicolás Maduro and related narco-terrorism charges, and the odd Pentagon Pizza Index that supposedly predicts major global events.

They discuss firearm projects and gear — a 300 Blackout build with a forced-reset trigger, a compact suitcase AR, and the practicalities of suppressors — plus the new paper-only NFA process and looming lawsuits that could reshape the suppressor market.

Along the way they share light personal moments (a rescued beagle with an international past, holiday gifts) and close out with thoughts on the industry outlook for the year.

John Wayne in 'The Green Berets'—a masterpiece, right? Who wouldn’t be inspired by that Oscar-worthy performance? Howard Massingill Jr. SGM (Ret.) was so moved by John Wayne that he decided he wanted to become a Green Beret. Yeah, because that's a walk in the park. Today, we sit down with Howard to talk about the legendary John Wayne and his journey into the elite ranks of the military.

Oh, the dilemma of the century: what ever shall we do with those endless pistol cases? To store or not to store—such a profound question! At what point does a quaint collection become hoarding? Decisions, decisions!

Can you believe these prices? How can you possibly decide when to splurge on that big-ticket item or when to settle for something just good enough?

What you carry and where you carry it can be a real game-changer. Do you mix things up with the seasons or keep it constant? Around here, some folks switch things up like they swap underwear, while others are as predictable as a clock.

Last week, we had a little dress rehearsal for the whole power grid going kaput. In our neck of the woods, it was more of a minor inconvenience, like realizing you're out of coffee on a Monday morning. But imagine if the blackout bug decided to nibble at your circuit?

Everytown Training Company: It's like they graduated from the School of No Credentials and Majored in Nonsense, giving Mayor Mamdani a run for his money. But hey, what else do you expect from the finest of New York?
