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.

Dylan Mulvaney, a "transgender influencer" most famous for sparking the massive 2023 Bud Light boycott that tanked sales and alienated millions of customers, is now set to make his Broadway debut as Anne Boleyn in the hit feminist musical "SIX."

An obnoxious Rep. Ilhan Omar laughed off accusations she was connected to the fraud scandal rocking Minnesota’s Somali community, and belittled a reporter for asking about it, according to a videos she posted to Instagram. “Why would there be an allegation that I’m complicit? How would I be complicit?” the Minnesota socialist snapped at a reporter asking about the recent House Oversight Committee hearing on the matter. “Do you just ask stupid questions?” she barked. Scrutiny is growing over Omar’s skyrocketing family wealth, after she went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year, according to her own Congressional financial disclosures.

Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib went on an emotional rant about the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recruitment posts on social media during a Friday shadow hearing in Minnesota. The hearing, chaired by Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, discussed the recent heightened presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota and the fatal shooting of Renee Good. When it was Tlaib’s turn to speak, she used her time to passionately suggest that recent DHS social media posts evoked “neo-Nazi” and “white nationalist” imagery. Tlaib held up a printed Jan. 9 social media post by the DHS’ official account, shared across multiple platforms,

The Jan. 7 shooting death of Renee Good has become a political Rorschach test. A Quinnipiac poll released on Tuesday finds that a majority of American voters, 53%, believe ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot Good on a Minneapolis street last Wednesday, was not justified in doing so. Thirty-five percent believe the shooting was justified, while 12% have no opinion. But the poll results vary widely when the respondents’ political affiliations are examined. Seventy-seven percent of Republicans believe the shooting was justified, while 28% of independents and only four percent of Democrats hold the same opinion. These poll results are unsurprising. As news of the shooting broke,

NUUK, Greenland — Native Greenlander Amarok Petersen was 27 years old when she learned the gut-wrenching truth about why she couldn’t have children — and that Denmark was to blame. Suffering from severe uterine problems, a medical doctor discovered an IUD birth control device in her body that she didn’t know she had. Danish doctors had implanted it when she was just 13 as part of a population control program for thousands of native Greenlandic girls and women. “I will never have children,” Petersen told The Post, with tears of anger and sorrow welling in her eyes. “That choice was taken from me.”
