If you’ve spent enough time around gun ranges, you’ve seen the guy who shows up at the range with no plan. I’ve even been that guy in my youth. He dumps a couple boxes of ammo into random targets, maybe tries a few long shots, empties a magazine at five yards and then leaves. He burned through good ammo and range time and probably had fun focusing on what he is good at, but if you asked him whether he’s better now than when he walked in, he couldn’t honestly tell you.

Henry Holsters has re-introduced its Flint and Flint Compact concealment holsters. These minimalist appendix inside the waistband (AIWB) / inside the waistband (IWB) holsters employ modern materials and industry standard hardware along with spacing points to take advantage of some of the best belt attachment hardware and systems available for concealment solutions.

Your information is tremendously valuable to those who would exploit it. Information-target indicators are any visible or accessible signs that can reveal sensitive, personal data to predators or criminals. These indicators—both physical and digital—when left unchecked provide an easy avenue for exploitation that could result in identity theft, home invasion, human trafficking and the like. Information security is a “best practice” aimed at safeguarding such data, whether it’s posted on social-media platforms or exposed through observable traits in daily life. How can you protect yourself, your family and your identity to minimize these indicators? What are the simple steps you…

Yesterday I was at the gun shop and ran into a lady that I had coached while she was getting her carry permit. She was shopping for a new gun, one that suited her better. I don’t recall what she had originally qualified with—and it doesn’t matter, because her skills had advanced and that gun no longer suited her. And, frankly, that happens to most of us. Starting out, we do some research and rely on what judgment and experience we can muster to come up with something that we hope will work for us. I think that it is…
The Army is feeding hundreds of hours of video recordings into a large language model to improve maintenance on the infantry squad vehicle, and hopes to eventually see soldiers using AI-powered smart glasses to fix vehicles. “Eventually, I’m going to run those LLMs on soldiers’ faces with smart glasses, and I’m going to run them on their phones with things like the Android [Tactical] Assault Kit. I’m going to run them on their vehicles for maintenance,” Alex Miller, the Army’s chief technology officer, said on a recent podcast with the Washington AI Network.For the ISV, a ruggedized version of the Chevy…
