What is the right age to give your child a gun?

My kids had them, but did not have access to them without me, on a range or hunting.

The Maverick 88 pump-action 12-gauge sh***un was purchased legally in August 2026 by Shauntai Nickerson, the mother of the shooter, and given to him for recreational use, sources told CBS News.

What will they think of next???

If we put this much money into mental health awareness, we'd stop more violent crimes than working to keep good people with guns off your property.

Just my opinion, but what do I know?

New AI technology uses Wi-Fi to detect concealed handguns, raising serious Second and Fourth Amendment concerns over surveillance of lawful gun owners.

We reached out to local teenagers to see who wanted to hike out to the 2,000-yard line to help hang steel for our shooters.

Turns out video games won that round, and they refused to make the hike.

But then there's Paul... (A forever teenager)

Paul stepped up (literally) to the plate and took care of business, tackling the hike and getting the targets hung when others wouldn't and in many cases physically couldn't.

Huge shoutout and special thanks to Paul (AKA Skippy) for putting in the heavy work!

And I'd be remiss if I didn't add a special thank you to Chuck Neller and his amazing talent at building not just these steels, but almost all of the ones down range.

At the end of the day, none of this would be possible without the support of those in and around our community.

Steel is set. Come on out, stretch your legs, and see if you can reach our Patriot Mile or even further out to 2,000 yards. 🎯

Another sad day. This could have been much worse, if not for a good guy with a gun, stopping a bad guy with a gun.

Another child and teacher were critically injured, according to the police in Bend, Ore. The suspect, a 16-year-old from Bend, was also dead.
