Gun Shipping Rules

When people travel for a training class, they often drive. Transporting guns then is relatively easy, all things considered, though there are some things folks should be aware of. Others fly, and they transport their guns via their flight, but that's kind of a pain in the butt, too. But what about when your gun needs to go to the other side of the country, but you don't? With anything else, you just ship it. You put it in a box, weigh it, and find the cheapest acceptable shipping option. While my experience tends to put the USPS at the bottom of that list,

A couple years ago I had to ship a revolver back to the manufacturer for repair. The hoops I had to jump through were just insane. It was clear to me that the goal wasn't safety or security, it was to discourage sending it in the first place.

As I write this article, the situation in Iran is unclear. Although Iran’s brutal regime is unlikely to fall in the near term, I believe the country will never be the same, and the end of this regime is in sight. There are steps the U.S. should take to accelerate the Iranian regime’s demise and prepare for a new democratic government. Thousands of peaceful demonstrators, perhaps tens of thousands, have been killed by the Iranian regime over the last two weeks. President Trump said on Wednesday that the Iranian government claimed there will be no further shootings and executions of demonstrators.

Contrary to the media’s blaring headlines about “the health care crisis,” there’s another question the press should answer but won’t. To wit: Why is it only a “crisis” when a Covid-era entitlement expires on Republicans’ watch? While Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., eggs on the press by pontificating about a “health care crisis” caused by the recent expiration of enhanced Obamacare subsidies, he and his colleagues selectively and cynically ignore the recent past. The same Senate Democrats who now call the lapse of enhanced Obamacare subsidies a “crisis” let a far larger Covid-era program expire on their own party’s watch with barely a peep of objection.

The following is an eyewitness account from a young Iranian woman based in Tehran, who does not want to be identified for safety reasons. She has been cut off from contact with the outside world since the Iranian government instituted a media blackout, but on Monday briefly managed to receive messages from The Post. Over several hours, with a very patchy connection, she shared a harrowing — but hopeful — account of what is happening on the ground right now. Here are her words:

The average national price for a gallon of gas dropped to $2.796, the lowest we’ve seen since 2021, per AAA.For obvious reasons, the White House is eager to spread this good news. “In 43 states, the average gas price is below $3/gal. In 30 states, it’s below $2.75/gal,” wrote the White House’s official Rapid Response X account. “In 17 states, it’s at or below $2.50/gal.”The cost of gas is the tip of the wedge to achieve that new word everyone’s using these days: affordability.Those gas station signs we all pass displaying that day’s cost per gallon acts as a national barometer about how we feel about the economy.

President Trump declared Monday that the US would be “screwed” if the Supreme Court rules against his reciprocal tariff policies — arguing the feds would have to “pay back” billions in revenue collected over the past year. “[I]f the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America on this National Security bonanza, WE’RE SCREWED!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The actual numbers that we would have to pay back if, for any reason, the Supreme Court were to rule against the United States of America on Tariffs, would be many Hundreds of Billions of Dollars,”

President Trump has kept his promise to seal the border upon resuming office in January of 2025. Illegal crossings are down significantly. Four years of open borders under Biden resulted in millions of illegals entering the United States with no vetting or accountability whatsoever. The result is a continuous pursuit of illegal aliens by law enforcement agencies such as ICE. There are also state agencies, such as the Texas DPS, which have worked with the Border Patrol to protect Americans from illegal alien criminals.

Minnesota residents of Somali descent and Hispanic heritage are suing President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to effectively shut down federal immigration enforcement across the state. On Thursday, the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), representing Somali immigrant Mubashir Khalif Hussen, Mahamed Eydarus, who is American and of Somali descent, and Javier Doe, a Hispanic American, filed suit against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE Director Todd Lyons, among other agency officials. The lawsuit is asking a federal court to issue a statewide injunction to stop what it calls “unlawful policies and practices” being carried out by ICE agents, including allegations of racial profiling.

On Thursday afternoon, I wrote about how María Corina Machado visited the White House and had lunch with Donald Trump. While I was writing that article, some rumors were circulating about a big gesture she made, but I couldn't confirm them at the time. Now I can. The Venezuelan opposition leader, on behalf of her people, gave the president her Nobel Peace Prize. Not a replica. The real thing. Since the meeting was purposely kept private, I wasn't sure that a photo would surface, but one got out, and as of late Thursday night, both the White House and Machado have shared it on social media.

If Minnesota officials don’t like President Donald Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act, maybe they should do more to tamp down the insurrectionary activity in their state. After an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer was violently attacked by two illegal immigrants while making an arrest Wednesday night and shot one assailant in the leg in self-defense, anti-ICE activists — predictably enough — rioted. In response to the unprovoked attack on the officer, Mayor Jacob Frey once again blasted ICE. Imagine, he implored,

— U.S. President Donald Trump suggested Friday that he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the U.S. controlling Greenland, a message that came as a bipartisan Congressional delegation sought to lower tensions in the Danish capital. Trump for months has insisted that the U.S. should control Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.” During an unrelated event at the White House about rural health care, he recounted Friday how he had threatened European allies with tariffs on pharmaceuticals.
