Crime is surging in neighborhoods all across America, and Beverly Hills is no exception. Los Angeles Magazine explains how the neighborhood's wealthy progressives are panic-buying guns to protect themselves from home invasions and other crimes. Steve Appleford writes: In Beverly Hills, even the purchase of a firearm comes with certain…expectations. The city’s only gun store, Beverly Hills Guns, is a “concierge service” by appointment only, for a largely affluent clientele. And business is booming.

Murders SOAR in Portland Where Police Were Defunded
You know Your Survival Guy has been keeping a steady watch on cities where crime is rampant and Americans are just looking to escape. High on the list is Portland, OR, where murder rates have skyrocketed after the city turned its streets over to BLM and Antifa in the summer of 2020.

Reporter Andy Ngo writes of Portland in the Daily … [Read more...]

Gun Makers Look for a Better America
The industrial roots of the northeast and midwest made those regions obvious locations for American firearms manufacturers to grow.

The Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard details the moves by seventeen manufacturers to friendlier territory, writing: Alabama Remington Outdoor Company moved much of its production from New York to Huntsville. Kimber expanded production to Troy, New York, over Yonkers. It … [Read more...]
The Crumbling Case Against Constitutional Carry
You know Your Survival Guy is a fan of constitutional carry states. The number of states protecting citizens' rights to carry a firearm without a permit has grown rapidly in the past few years. Writing for Guns in the News, Charles C. W. Cooke explains that the data shows politicians' excuses about constitutional carry are not in line with reality. He writes: There’s an old Monty Python sketch in which a theatrical radio narrator desperately tries to make an exceedingly boring story sound suspenseful and melodramatic. “June the 4th, 1973,” the voice says, “was much like any other summer’s day … [Read more...]

These Companies Can’t Make Enough Ammunition
You know that America has been gripped by an ammunition shortage since the beginning of the Coronavirus scare. Thankfully there has been some improvement, but ammo is still scarce, and costly.

STREETS OF RAGE: Old Man Nearly Killed in Boston Dirt Bike Gang Attack
You know the big blue blob cities have been getting more dangerous, as "woke" mayors and DAs eliminate cash bail and go soft-on-crime. The allowance of small crimes like shoplifting has led criminals to become even more brazen. Big city mayors have forgotten the "broken windows theory," that pulled them out of chaos in the 80s and 90s. Now they are relearning those hard lessons. In Boston recently, an 82-year-old man was attacked while driving through the city by a mob of 40 people on dirt bikes and scooters. CBS Boston reports: An 82-year-old man was surrounded and assaulted by a group of … [Read more...]
