This weekend, the state of Mississippi lives up to its motto, “Virtute et Armis,” Latin for “By Valor and Arms” by declaring no tax on sales through Sunday on all purchases of firearms, ammunition, and some hunting supplies. Celebrating Labor Day weekend while encouraging law-abiding Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights while saving money in the process, puts a smile on my face and makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, even if I don’t live in Mississippi.

Either way, this has been the most active conflict in the Western world in the past decade, and that means military thinkers are busy analyzing the use and effects of new weapons, tactics and strategies. Now, the crew at SPARTANAT have a new book to share some of those lessons with you. It’s called Combat Experience – Military Lessons From The War In Ukraine.

The California Rifle & Pistol Association (CRPA) recently scored a legal victory, not only for the long-oppressed residents of the state but for visiting non-residents also. The   case, known as CRPA vs. LASD challenged the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and the La Verne Police Department (LVPD) on the issues of delays, denials, and other means of obstruction in the processing of concealed carry weapons (CCW) licenses. The case covered broader topics also, like non-resident carry, out-of-state permit reciprocity, exorbitant fees, and mandatory psychological exams. The outcome, which provides some relief to law-abiding citizens who chose to take personal responsibility for their safety, does come with pros and cons. Let’s take a closer look.

We really hope you all enjoyed last week’s episode where we asked TFB writers Paul B and Adam S what their top 3 guns would be for a minimalist setup if you couldn’t have any other guns. However, even with an unlimited budget, and choice of any firearms in the world, both Adam, Paul, and virtually everyone else we’ve asked would have picked the same three guns. So this week I’ve decided to change the game up a bit and give our writers a bit more freedom to express themselves in their firearm choices. This week, and down the road we’ll be doing 5 guns with the aim of getting a bit more variety of firearms in the mix. We hope you’ll join the discussion this week with TFB writers Doug E and Patrik O as they go through their very interesting “minimalist” 5-gun setup.

But along with the classic GI-issued .45 and a lot of other genre-founding pistols (let’s not forget the 1903 pocket pistol, and the Woodsman plinker), the Browning Hi-Power stands as a timeless classic.
