It may be uncomfortable to discuss how our body sizes can affect the way we need to carry a concealed firearm, but there's something else that's more uncomfortable ... and that is going out unprotected because we can't find a comfortable CCW method. As women, it's common for us to blame our bodies when a garment doesn't look or feel right on them, and sometimes that erroneous attitude can slop over to our concealed-carry gear. That's why our friends at The Well Armed Woman asked 1,500 women who carry concealed handguns those tough questions. Find out more here!

The result is a potent and packable EDC partner that offers one of the smallest 1911s in the world. Go Ronin here

Today known as the AR-15, or Modern Sporting Rifle (MSR), the shooting sports have never been the same. Here are seven things you didn't know about the AR-15.

Assistant Editor Ashley Thess has collated a list of EDC items that you or your family can keep with you when you're traveling somewhere with heavy restrictions or socializing with alcohol.
