Barrier blind ammo is designed to pass through common obstacles like car doors, windows, drywall, plywood, or heavy clothing without significant change to its terminal performance. I recently tested G9 Defense Barrier Blind Hollow Point ammunition in 6.5 Creedmoor. I must admit that I was only secondarily interested in its barrier blind qualities. My primary interest was in the fact that the ammo is machine-turned out of solid copper. According to G9, this gives it greater consistency in density over traditional jacketed bullets. The lower standard deviation of ballistic coefficient, in turn, provides higher accuracy at extended ranges. During my …

I see that an F-35 was damaged this weekend by hostile fire. The pilot is fine. Everyone is okay.
The pearl-clutches are wondering how this happened? The F-35 is stealthy, invisible, invincible. No, it's not. It's an aircraft. It's a fine, technologically advanced aircraft, but it is still just a metal tube.
There is still a thing called the Golden BB, and it still comes into play. Basically, if the enemy throws enough crap into the sky, a plane will inevitably run into some of it. The Golden BB has been around forever, and aviators know about it. Eventually, some sonofabitch gets lucky.
The pilot is okay, the airframe can be repaired.

On March 17, 2026, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, the court certified a settlement between the Attorney General of California and the plaintiffs in the case of Junior Sports Magazines Inc. et al., and Rob Bonta. The First Amendment and the Second Amendment were big winners. From the Court Order:
III. JUDICIAL DECLARATION
IT IS HEREBY DECLARED that Section 22949.80, in its entirety, violates the First Amendment of the United States Constitution on its face and as applied to Plaintiffs.
IV. PERMANENT INJUNCTION
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant shall be permanently enjoined from enforcing section 22949.80. The Attorney General is further directed to issue an alert through an information bulletin or other ordinary communications notifying all District Attorneys, County Counsels, and City Attorneys in California that enforcement of Section 22949.80 has been permanently enjoined in its entirety.
In addition, AG was ordered to pay Lawyers fees to the lawyers for the Firearms Policy Coallition (FPC) and the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF). This case started almost four years ago when the California legislature passed a statute designed to chill First Amendment protected speech in favor of the Second Amendment. The law became Section 22940.80. Alan Gottlieb and Dave Workman wrote about it at AmmoLand in July of 2022:
Several plaintiffs, including gun rights organizations, are challenging changes in state law created by the passage of Assembly Bill 2571, which makes it unlawful for any firearm industry members to advertise, market, or arrange for placement of an advertising or marketing communication concerning any firearm-related product in a manner that is designed, intended, or reasonably appears to be attractive to minors. The plaintiffs are asking for a preliminary injunction against the enforcement of the law.
On October, 2024, the District Court ruled against the First and Second Amendment defenders. The defenders immediately appealed to a three judge panel of the Ninth Circuit. On September 13, 2023, the three judge panel reversed the District Court and found the law to be unconstitutional under the First Amendment. It was a unanimous decision. Then the State of California asked for a en banc panel to re-hear the case and reverse the three judge panel. Alan Gottlieb wrote about it on AmmoLand.
En banc reviews have been used in the Ninth Circuit to kill positive three judge panel decisions on the Second Amendment. The Ninth Circuit refused to re-hear the case en banc on February 28, 2024. The case was sent back to the District Court. On October 1, 2025, the Preliminary Injunction was ordered by the District Court. On March 17, 2026, the parties agreed to a settlement. As shown above, all of Section 22949.80 was struck down. The agreed settlement, approved of by the Court, awarded $550,000 to the law firm of Michel & Associates, P.C., who represented the Firearms Policy Coallition (FPC) and $350,000 to the Law offices of Donald Kilmer, who represented the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF). In addition, Kostas Moros reports on X that another $480,000 is to be paid in the Safari Club International case. Kostos reports the two cases are on the same issues.
Analysis: The law was an egregious violation of the First Amendment, in an attempt to stop support for the Second Amendment, from the beginning. It should never have been passed. The State of California then compounded their contempt for the First and Second Amendments by dragging out this case for almost four years, costing the state thousands of dollars in lawyers’ fees.
The fees will not cost those who filed the bill and voted for the law, or those who defended the law in court any money at all. They were/are spending other people's money. This is expected in California.

At home, the victim and his friend heard a knock at the door while the two were in the living room. The report then states that the victim approached the door before the suspect kicked it in and pointed a handgun at the two, yelling "Get down, f-- k n --- a" and firing shots into the home.
The victim ran to his room to grab a handgun and returned fire at the suspect before retreating to his room with his friend.
Another suspect was also seen on surveillance footage, according to a police report. The victim did not know where the suspects went following the incident.
The victim was taken to Le Bonheur, according to the report; however, his current condition is unknown.

(Continued from Part 3.) Mineralize the Soil Many of our soils are depleted of trace elements and micronutrients from past agricultural use. If your land was ever farmed, it’s probably got some deficiencies. While a soil test is probably a good idea so you can see the bigger picture of certain elements you might need to add, you can also address the deficiencies with broad spectrum amendments. Because they are in mineral form they don’t tend to leach from the soil, so they are available for the soil life to break them down and transport to your plants when they …
