Hey everyone,

We’ve got a strong lineup of articles today—from armed citizens stepping in during critical moments to new legislative pushes that could impact gun owners nationwide. One lawmaker group is pushing to ban taxes on guns and ammo, and another is proposing lifetime concealed carry permits and the use of defensive tools in schools. Definitely some legislation worth keeping an eye on.

I also uploaded two new YouTube Shorts. One is a tribute clip of Michael Mann talking about Val Kilmer’s legendary reload scene in Heat, and the other is a wild situational awareness moment—a man hiking with his dog gets attacked by a bear and fights it off with an axe and bear spray.
