Should Drones Be Allowed to Recover Dead Deer?
Under a light snow, an infrared-equipped drone buzzes a timbered property somewhere in the Midwest heartland. The operator, Mike Yoder, watches a screen on his controller, looking for the heat signatures of deer. As the light fades, he finally narrows in on a static target in a dense pocket of...

If You Can Only Have One Gun, Pick This One
The question on gun blogs and internet forums is usually posed like this: “The world is ending and you only have enough room for one gun in your bug-out bag.
