For Texas middle school teacher, David Garza, midnight on July 28th, may not have seemed remarkable, that is until he heard the sound of a female voice in terror outside his home. Looking out a window to see a male suspect beating a young woman and realizing he was attempting to remove her clothing, David was faced with a split-second decision and chose to place his life in danger to save the life of a stranger in need. David grabbed his gun.

Finally, the AR market has caught up to where it was in the 1980s! In this episode of TFBTV, Hop takes the Harrington & Richardson A2 Government Carbine down to Thunder Ranch to see how well a lightweight retro AR can hold up to high round counts and getting tossed around. We put multiple shooters behind the gun, shot it a lot, and tried several different carry handle optics. We also put a B&T suppressor on it but that was in a different video and you probably don't want to watch it again.

In my time working a gun counter, I have sold a lot of silencers. But I have also had the “what silencer should I buy?” conversation at least five times for every silencer sold. So what is the right first silencer to buy? I can’t answer that for you, but I can help you ask the right questions.

I can still remember the first time I watched the film Aliens growing up. For me, back then, this 1986 science fiction action flick was more than a movie, it was an event. The box office return certainly reflected the film's popularity with it bringing $291,694,608 (adjusted for inflation) on a modest budget of $40 million. Of course, there would be many more films that would come out in the franchise but none of them featured the most iconic gun from the second instalment, the M-41A Pulse rifle. With the newest installment of the Aliens franchise chest bursting onto screens this Friday, I thought this would be a good time to look at its take on the Pulse rifle.

Photo Of The Day - Photography is a powerful medium that allows individuals to freeze moments in time, capturing the essence of emotions, stories, and the beauty that surrounds us. Taking great photos is not merely about owning an expensive camera; it's an art form that requires a blend of technical skill, creativity, and a keen eye for detail. The photographer did a great job this time!

Anyone who carries a handgun, be it for professional duty or for personal use, knows that the fit and comfort of the holster is just as important as the feel of the firearm. There are several different materials used for holsters, but many will say the same thing – nothing beats leather. Falco Holsters has been around since 1989, and produces some of the finest holsters available and in many different materials. Its latest Enhanced Timeless Leather line perfectly blends all the features you would want in a classic leather holster with modern nuances that meet the exacting demands of gun owners everywhere.

Do you ever travel to New York City? Do you concealed carry? Concerned about your safety while visiting? Great, then keep reading! The right to keep and bear arms and the city of New York go together like toasters and bathtubs. Thankfully, the landmark Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, delivered some much-needed relief to NYC residents as it struck down a law, dating back a century, which required New Yorkers to show “proper cause” in order to obtain a concealed carry permit and exercise their Constitutional right to defend themselves. It seems now the fallout from that decision could also open up a path for non-residents to apply for permits to carry in the state.

CMMG is expanding its Dissent lineup of rifles, pistols, and pistol-caliber carbines with the new Dissent Mk3 large frame platform in .308, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 8.6BLK. Sharing a familiar manual of arms with previous models, the direct impingement Dissent Mk3 incorporates CMMG ZEROED controls and trigger, free float M-LOK handguard, and a reversible non-reciprocating forward charging handle in addition to its upsized Compact Action.

Savage Arms is getting with the times and giving its Model 42 survival rifle a slightly more tactical-looking finish. If you want this survival rifle/shotgun in Olive Drab Green or Flat Dark Earth, now’s your chance!

Is… Is M81 camo, aka Woodland pattern, getting trendy? Uh, maybe. Decades after the U.S. military phased the classic Cold War camouflage pattern out of front-line use, we see Hi-Point is now offering this finish on multiple models.

I remember buying my first concealed carry holster more than ten years ago. I was coming off the high of passing my concealed carry class and decided it would be a good time to go shop for holsters. I went to a big-box store, and they had a pretty terrible selection by modern standards. The shelves at that time were lined with mass-produced leather and nylon universal holsters.

Photo Of The Day and we take a closer look at the German Combat Rescuers. Take special note of the Heckler & Koch G36 that’s pointing out from the vehicle. If you’re wounded or need help, I’m pretty sure these guys are the most welcome sight.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about how to avoid potentially risky situations and how to de-escalate if you are ever confronted. If you happened to miss last week’s article, I highly encourage you to click the link here to check it out. This week I wanted to take a look at the differences between how my dad carries a concealed pistol and how I will typically carry a gun. We were similar in styles when I first started carrying about 15 years ago but now we have both changed and carry drastically different. Let’s take a closer look at some of the generational carry differences.

Oliver Winchester is long dead and so is John Wayne, but lever guns are the hottest they’ve been in years. For proof, check out Rossi’s newest imports to the U.S. The R95 lineup is growing again, with new Triple Black and Laminate options in .45-70 chambering.
