Today kicks off with a new travel update in the Flying with Guns series. I just wrapped up Episode 40 — Southwest from LAS to MSY, and this one went about as smoothly as you could hope. If you fly with firearms (or are just curious how the process really works), this one’s worth a watch.

You can catch the short versions here: YouTube • Facebook • Instagram • TikTok • LinkedIn • Threads • X • Rumble • Truth Social.

On the news side, we’re covering a wide range today — from deadly encounters to major legal battles and even some much-needed humor.
