With teal season beginning this month, and the full-fledged duck season only a month or so behind it, the annual trek to the salt marshes of our coastline will begin. And thus again will begin the annual battle of all waterfowlers, the fight against rust. […]
If you are a firearms enthusiast, by now you have heard of the decision by the Supreme Court of the United States on June 26 in the Heller case. […]
