Why most after-action reviews produce paperwork instead of learning, the format and culture conditions that make post-incident review genuinely useful, and how to run one that officers do not dread and do not forget.
The latest iteration of the Neo domestic robot from startup manufacturer 1X has freakishly sensitive and mobile fingers. Very dextrous, pretty much the equivalent of human hands, capable of delicate chores like screwing in a light bulb, or... well, you know how people are.

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, gun owners
should take a moment to remember how unlikely today’s victories once
seemed. In 1976, when the nation marked its bicentennial, many Second
Amendment supporters believed the right to keep and bear arms was slowly
being written out of American life. The law schools were hostile. The
courts were hostile. The media was hostile. Most politicians treated the
Second Amendment as a historical inconvenience. The future looked grim.
We chose to keep fighting. Giving up was not an option. The Constitution was clear, and we intended to fight to keep the Republic, even if the chance of success seemed nil.
A strange thing happened. The Second Amendment movement became the seed of the movement to restore the American Republic. This correspondent doubts it would have happened without the clear words of the Second Amendment. They created a rallying point, an anchor of certainty in the righteousness of our cause, a clear guide to who was with us and who was against us. Voting against the Second Amendment showed a politician might say he valued the Constitution, but his actions showed him to do the opposite. We educated ourselves.
The NRA played a critical role. They slowed the advance of the administrative state. It appears they believed the fight was lost, but they were determined to fight long rearguard actions to delay the inevitable. They stopped the registration and licensing of handguns in the National Firearms Act of 1934. They stripped registration of handguns out of the Gun Control Act of 1968. In 1977, Second Amendment supporters took control of the NRA in the Revolt in Cincinnati, where NRA life members voted in Second Amendment supporters and outed the old guard. The NRA would become powerful and rich with its rearguard actions in Washington, DC. Second Amendment supporters wanted more. They wanted to win.
From the perspective of July of 2026, what happened seems miraculous. Second Amendment supporters organized from the ground up. Powerful voices such as Neil Knox educated those on the ground. (Neil was kicked out of the NRA in 1982). Newsletters and telephone trees were fashioned to educate on local politics. The NRA had a significant role in opposing anti-Second Amendment legislation. The Second Amendment became an important item for politicians who wished to be elected. The Second Amendment Foundation was established. Gun Owners of America was established. Academics and intellectuals started writing about the Second Amendment from a historical instead of a Progressive perspective. In 1979, Don B. Kates, Jr. published "Restricting Handguns, The Liberal Skeptics Speak Out. In 1982, with Ronald Reagan in office, the Senate issued a Report on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, confirming it as an individual right. In 1987, the NRA and local Florida groups were able to pass a "shall issue" concealed carry bill.
By 1989, Sanford Levinson felt compelled to write "The Embarrassing Second Amendment" in the Yale Law Journal. The grass roots had made the Second Amendment so prominent in national politics, left wing academics were forced to mention it. In 1996, the Supreme Court struck down the Gun Free School Zone Act as exceeding the power of Congress under the Interstate Commerce Clause (USA v Lopez). Justice Clarence Thomas declared he would like to see a Second Amendment case before the Supreme Court.
The Shall Issue revolt against Second Amendment infringements was well underway. Those who sought to restore the right incrementally were shown to have the more effective tactics. In 2008, the Supreme Court ruled the Second Amendment was an individual right which must be respected in the Heller decision. In 2010, the Supreme Court confirmed the Second Amendment applied to the states, not just the federal government, in the McDonald case.
These things did not happen in a vacuum. The organizational ability of grass roots Second Amendment supporters was magnified by talk radio. It found a favorable medium in the early Internet. It became clear the problem was primarily one of an oppositional national Media more than who was elected to Congress, because the Media were the gatekeepers to Congress and the Presidency. In 2016 a loud mouthed New York billionaire upset the apple-cart by supporting the Second Amendment and being elected President. We had entered the Trump era.
The old Media could not control the narrative. President Trump appointed three originalists and textualists to the Supreme Court. For the first time in 80 years, the Supreme Court had a reliable originalist and textualist majority. Last week, the Supreme Court removed more infringements on Second Amendment rights. They agreed to hear cases involving semi-automatic rifles. Those rifles will be ruled to be protected by the Second Amendment. The states which are defying the Supreme Court are having their fingers slapped. The requirements for courts on how to handle Second Amendment cases are being made more stringent and precise, all in favor of the Second Amendment. 29 states have permitless carry.
All of the above appeared to be fantasy unobtainium in 1976. To get where we are today took billions of hours of work by millions of activists and Second Amendment supporters. It took billions of dollars of money. Much was wasted. Much had significant effects.
The Second Amendment can be read by anyone who can read English. It was, and is our lodestar. Along the way, we found we needed the whole Constitution to protect the Bill of Rights, and the Bill of Rights to protect the Constitution. We learned most politicians are more concerned with holding office than with protecting us. We learned to lobby and pressure and persist.
More than half the country has learned with us. The Donald Trump administration is the most pro-Second Amendment administration in the history of the United States since before 1860. To all Second Amendment supporters out there; these victories belong to you. The future belongs to you. We are winning. We are not finished. Keep fighting. Keep lobbying. Keep pushing. The future looks much brighter than it did in 1976.
God bless America. God bless the Constitution. God bless the Second Amendment.

Aubele said Vernon began following a man home after this incident.

homes were also endangered.
The victim returned fire in self-defense. Aubele said he will not be charged.

Authorities responding to the scene found Jack Hutchings, 24, dead
from gunshot wounds outside of his residence. An off-duty police officer
was found at the same property with stab wounds, and was taken to the
hospital, where he continues to receive medical treatment.
“The
investigation is active and ongoing and includes whether the person who
appeared to have shot Mr. Hutchings acted in self-defense,” the New
Hampshire Attorney General’s office said Monday. “Additional information
will be released as it becomes available while protecting the integrity
of the investigation.”
An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday on Hutchings. The name of the off-duty police officer has not yet been released.

When I started carrying and trying various holsters and setups, one product that kept being mentioned to me was the PHLster Enigma. I finally purchased the Enigma a couple years into my concealed carry journey. I wish I had purchased it much earlier, as it quickly became my go-to setup.
If O'Reilley's had the parts yesterday, we would have been done yesterday. We got the parts this morning and started the job, only to discover that some Camrys are made in Japan and some in the US. We have a US car and O'Reilley sold us Jap parts.
Well, shit. We were able to get the US parts here at 2:15 and we were finished by 4:00. Zach's car is tight and right and it is out of my shop. He did 90 percent of the work and I am confident that he could do it again.
The Brigade Speciale Beveiligingsopdrachten emerged from necessity. In 1975, with Europe rattled by the Munich massacre and rising terrorism, Major General E.N. Spronk of the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee identified an operational gap: the specialized counter-terrorist units on the books were too blunt an instrument for the majority of high-risk situations requiring expert intervention.
Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner . Last week, we took a look at useful vs necessary upgrades to your carry pistol. I have a few more options, so if you want to check out that article and comment on what else you think are absolute upgrades, be sure to click the link here to add them. With the weather getting high into the 80s and 90s across the country, it can be tricky to carry larger firearms, especially with a light cover garment like a shirt or tank top. So how do you stay concealed? Let's take a closer look at the basics of printing.
Last July, in a small town in coastal Maine, a couple of progressive, self-styled recruiters of economic populists showed up at the blue-shingled house of Graham Platner, a little-known oyster farmer and Marine veteran who lived largely off government benefits.
They knew his name from local labor organizers and activists, and they had watched a video on the internet of him talking about oysters. Struck by his left-leaning ideology, his working-class affect and his gravelly voice, they became convinced that he could win a Senate seat in Maine — and quickly persuaded Mr. Platner of the same.
The initial headhunters, Dan Moraff and Leanne Fan, and then a third out-of-state operative they called up to Maine — Morris Katz — told Mr. Platner he was “the one,” a “hero of the movement,” “a historical figure” who could be “leading a revolution,” according to half a dozen people with knowledge of their conversations.
But a clutch of people who cared about Mr. Platner were telling him something else. They worried about his mental health, amid his ongoing efforts to heal from post-traumatic stress disorder after tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. They feared this trio of out-of-state operatives was a dangerous combination of inexperienced and overconfident. The worst-case scenario, they thought, wasn’t running for Senate and losing — it was destroying the life he worked hard to build.
It is a very detailed, pull-no-punches account of the left picked and then stood by a Nazi-tattooed, misogynist, kinky (discussing how he would rape an intruder in a dominant, "not gay sort of way"), alleged rapist when any rational political party would have backed away and insisted that he was a Republican dirty trick.

Between a busy — but enjoyable — travel schedule and uncooperative weather, opportunities to sit back with a cigar and whiskey pairing have been few over the past couple of weeks. When I finally had the chance to relax this week, I opted for a long smoke and a bold pour.
For the whiskey, I reached to the back of the shelf for Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon. I picked up this bottle back in December 2024, and it hadn’t seen much attention lately. For the cigar, I selected the 6½ x 56 L’Atelier LAT56. Coincidentally, it had been resting in the humidor for nearly as long as the bourbon had been on the shelf, having been added in August 2024.
Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon is a distinctive release that showcases the craftsmanship behind its production. Even the specific corn seed used in the mash bill was selected for this bottling. With a mash bill of 52% corn, 35% wheat, and 13% malted barley, it contains significantly more wheat than most wheated bourbons, which typically use around 20% wheat or less. The whiskey is aged for six years and bottled at a robust 121 proof.
The bourbon opens with an inviting nose of brown sugar, toasted oak, and cinnamon. On the palate, it arrives with rich caramel and sweet vanilla before layers of cinnamon and baking spices build across the tongue. I’ve often remarked that it reminds me of a spicy Christmas cookie.
The L’Atelier LAT56, produced by Pete Johnson at Tatuaje, feels even larger in the hand than its dimensions suggest, perhaps because of its substantial weight and firm pack. It features an Ecuadorian Sancti Spiritus wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The cellophane had developed the characteristic golden-yellow tint often associated with a well-aged cigar. The Sancti Spiritus wrapper is a hybrid developed by the Oliva tobacco family from Pelo de Oro and Criollo seed, created specifically for the L’Atelier line. Even after nearly two years in the humidor, the reddish-brown wrapper remained soft, supple, and oily.
The cigar opens with notes of cedar, nutty cocoa, and toasted bread. As the smoke progresses, darker cocoa and espresso emerge, supported by an underlying earthy sweetness that adds balance and complexity throughout the experience.
After a few sips, I added a few drops of water to the bourbon. The slight dilution softened the alcohol and tamed the spice just enough to let the sweetness of the wheat shine through. The LAT56’s refined profile of cedar, cocoa, and subtle sweetness allowed the bourbon’s unique high-wheat character to remain the focal point without overwhelming the palate. In return, the bourbon seemed to accentuate the cigar’s creamy wood and cocoa flavors while gently pushing its pepper and spice into the background.
The pairing continued to evolve over the course of the smoke, gradually taking on an almost dessert-like character. With the L’Atelier LAT56 providing nearly two hours of smoking enjoyment, there was ample time to appreciate the uniquely sweet yet peppery personality of Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon. It proved to be exactly the prescription I needed after a hectic couple of weeks.
Like everyone else who secretly loved the shit out of the song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and its bizarro video but was too cool to admit it, I am saddened by this news.
In this episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, I'm pleased to welcome back Dave Higginbotham , Product Marketing Manager at Safariland , for a conversation centered on the brand-new IncogXS, the latest holster to come out of the ongoing Safariland and Haley Strategic Partners collaboration. The IncogXS is the next evolution of the Incog X platform, refined into a single-clip, deep concealment IWB holster purpose-built for subcompact and micro-compact pistols. It features a microfiber suede-wrapped Boltaron shell, RDS compatibility, an ambidextrous body, and the new LinXS attachment system that opens up 3-6 o'clock carry versatility in a package that is genuinely built to disappear on your belt. We’ll also get to hear a few hints about what to expect next from one of the world's largest holster manufacturers.

Few pistols carry the kind of personal history that Jack Carr's MK25 does. The former Navy SEAL and #1 New York Times bestselling author carried the P226/MK25 through every deployment over a twenty-year special operations career, and its fictional counterpart drove a key plot thread in his debut novel The Terminal List. Now, SIG Custom Works has made that bond tangible in a limited-edition collector's package that pairs the pistol with another piece of Carr's personal iconography.
Right away, if you know anything about revolver manufacturers, you’re saying to yourself: “Manurhin is a French company, not American, so why are they selling revolvers to celebrate our milestone?” … and you’d have a point. But as their post on The Social Network Formerly Known As Twitter says, France was right there with America during the Revolutionary War:
We got up this morning and Belle'scar was missing. Grandson Zach lives with us and normally goes to work during the dark-thirty hours. He drives a 2004 Toyota Camry, and we had told him that if he ever had car problems, to take Belle's car and we'd figure it out later. Which is what happened.
Zach got home from work about 10-ish and told me that he had brake problems. We went out to diagnose and found a big spot of brake fluid under the right rear tire. We got it into the shop and got it up on jack stands. Brake caliper had turned loose. Defunct.
It was originally my mother's ca. Dad bought it new for her in3004. We lost Dad in '07 and Mom drove it until 2018 when my sisters made her give up the keys. We gave it to Zach and he's driven it through his senior year of high school, and college, and he loves that car. It is a Toyota, but it is now over 2 years old.
We went to the parts house. No lock. We looked around, and found that O'Reilley's could get us one later this afternoon. So, we ordered it. We'll have it in the morning and we'll get Zach's car back on the road.
I will walk him through the process, teach him how to bleed brake, and put new pads on the rear. It's a good learning experience for the kid. PawPaw ain't gonna be around forever and he needs to learn what he can while I'm still here.
In the final analysis though, it is still a 20-year0old Toyota and he needs to think about that. We all loved our first car and we all know that it didn't last forever.

Tyler Grey spent thirteen years getting told no. No, this won't work. No, sights don't work that way. No, nobody will want them. The fact that Saberdyne Systems launched the NDEX Indexing Sight System just now suggests he stopped asking permission. NDEX is a rear-sight-only system that removes the traditional front sight post entirely, forcing a philosophical reckoning with how pistol shooters have been trained for the better part of seventy years. The mechanism is simple, the implication is not. If front-sight focus is doctrine for precision shooting, what happens when you design sights for stress response instead of range conditions?
XS Sights is answering a pretty obvious question with the R3D 2.0 for the PSA Dagger Micro : if you're carrying a subcompact that's built for fight-now defensive work, why settle for factory sights in low light? The answer is you shouldn't, and XS has equipped the Dagger Micro with night sights that actually deliver on the promise.

I saw Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention 4 times,, always in NYC. That was at two concerts at the Palladium and two at the Felt Forum in Madison Square Garden and always on the night before Halloween. He and the Mothers of Invention were absolutely1970s fantastic. His songs usually told a story, for example Mudshark (the complete medley including Happy Together).
Turn up the volume and enjoy. By the way, this song is not for snowflakes of any ilk. If you are easily offended by weird raunchy sexual innuendo descriptive language, listen to it at the peril of you melting down. I readily admit, this is one of my favorite Zappa songs.

There comes a time in most people’s lives when they start looking for exactly what they want instead of just what is available. With the benefit of experience and some additional disposable income, many experienced shooters start seeking out custom solutions that match their needs precisely. This is true in the world of holsters, too. FALCO Holsters offers custom holsters configured for a specific pistol or revolver, including combinations with more than 160 weapon lights and lasers. Depending on the selected model, customers can choose options such as sweat guard height, adjustable retention, cant, handedness, belt width, leather color, stitching, edge color, decorative underlays, and more. That is an extensive level of customization, but are these options necessary? Let’s look at why you should (or should not) consider a custom holster.
When world leaders converged, France's most elite intervention unit wasn't far behind. In fact, they were probably there ages before. The Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale was engaged at full strength in Evian-les-Bains, where France hosted the G7 Summit from June 15 to 17, 2026, marking the second time the lakeside resort city served as the backdrop for a gathering of that magnitude.
I have questions. Why now? As a police officer of 37 years, I know that these cases are easier to sole the sooner they are reported. Allegedly, this occurred in 2021, which is five years past. Why now? The cynical answer is that she is making these accusations as part of a political calculation. But that would be extremely tacky.
The non-cynical answer is that she was devastated after the attack and has gone through years of therapy to regain her sense of self-worth. She is now ready to come forward. Has she yet gone to the police? Have warrants been sworn?
The timing is suspect and deserves more than a few answers.
CrossBreed's newly announced fitments for the Staccato HD C4X tell a familiar story in the holster market: a compact carry gun draws ecosystem attention once it proves itself in the field. The C4X, the compact aluminum-frame version of Staccato's compensated platform, landed well enough in its first iteration that it's now attracting the depth of support usually reserved for flagships. Which makes sense, because a hard-use carry gun like the C4X demands holster solutions that match its versatility.
