Prepared 2 Protect Launches Secure 68P

Prepared 2 Protect’s newest less-lethal self-defense tool is now available.

The P2P Secure 68P is a .68 caliber CO2-powered launcher that features several innovations to help users defend themselves, their families or their property with confidence.

The Secure 68P has an effective range up to 80 feet, which allows users to engage a threat at distance, and fires at 350 feet per second (19 joules). The removable magazine holds six rounds of less-lethal ammo, while the Response Ready Trigger means the CO2 cartridge remains sealed until the trigger is pulled. Additionally, the Set Torque Seal Technology prevents over-tightening to ensure the CO2 is only pierced upon the first trigger pull.

Fiber-optic sights make targeting the threat intuitive while a trigger safety allows fast usage when the need arises. A nine-round extended magazine and a right-hand holster will be available as additional accessories.

The Secure 68P comes in a storage case with three CO2 cartridges, six Rubber Impact rounds and 12 Core Defense rounds (six powder and six pepper). Patented Core Defense ammo features a steel core centered in the round to provide stability in flight for more accuracy. It also works in conjunction with the design of the outer shell to induce more breakage when the ammo hits the target. Core Defense pepper rounds contain 7-percent PAVA powder to overwhelm the senses of the assailant so users will have time to move to safety. Read more

Bond Arms The First Lady

Over their 30 year history, Bond Arms has exemplified what it means to be “American Tough, American Made,” as the Granbury, Texas-based company has provided firearms enthusiasts with the best products at the best prices. More importantly, the company has proudly worn a label that reads “Made In The U.S.A.”

A part of their efforts to honor the traditions of America has been to show respect for the leaders who continue to make the country great. Bond Arms did just that in 2024 with the introduction of the DT47, or “Trump Gun”, in honor of the nation’s 45th and 47th Commander In Chief.

Bond Arms’ effort to honor the First Family in the White House continues in 2025, with the introduction of The First Lady. Their nod to the country’s leadership is beautifully caught in this stunning heirloom, which features engraved artwork of the nation’s First Lady on one side, with a relief of the stars and stripes on the other.

But the beauty is also something of a beast with this firearm. Form meets function as The First Lady is chambered in the powerful, yet manageable, .38 Special. Read more

Dorsey Reviews New Book From Best-Selling Author Johnny Joey Jones in Forbes

Imagine an America without first responders and ask yourself if that’s a country in which you’d want to live? That is both the cautionary tale and the lament of Behind the Badge, Answering the Call to Serve on America’s Homefront by Johnny Joey Jones.

Jones is the insightful Fox News contributor and best-selling author of Unbroken Bonds of Battle, who lost his legs to an improvised explosive device while serving as a Marine bomb tech in Afghanistan. Sacrifice is personal for Jones, so is his desire to tell the stories of others who serve for causes greater than their own.

In Behind the Badge, Jones chronicles the stories of firefighters, police officers, border patrol agents, game wardens, sheriffs and dispatchers who all deliver lifelines to those in need and protect us from the calamity and evil of modern society.

California Non-Residents Can Apply for Carry Permit Starting April 22

BELLEVUE, Wash. —— Thanks to a preliminary injunction in the Second Amendment Foundation’s (SAF) case CRPA v. LASD, starting Tuesday, April 22, non-resident SAF members can apply for a California carry permit.

The injunction requires that California accept permit applications from any United States resident outside the state who is a member of SAF or its partner organizations and not prohibited from possessing firearms. SAF was joined in the case by the California Rifle & Pistol Association, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation, Gun Owners of California and several private citizens.

“As you might imagine, the state of California is not wanting to make it easy for non-residents to apply for a carry permit,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “As a SAF member and non-resident of California, however, you’re allowed to apply. The main thing to keep in mind is that you need to submit your application through the sheriff or police department for the county you plan to visit. The order specifically lists how to apply, so that’s the best place to find the exact information you need.” Read more

Mossberg Releases 990 Aftershock Semi-Auto Firearm

Following on the unprecedented success of the Mossberg 590® Shockwave pump action, Mossberg is pleased to announce the all-new 990 Aftershock, a 12-gauge, 3-inch semi-auto version of this small in size, but big on performance tactical firearm. This full-featured and easy to maneuver platform is available with 14.75-inch or 18.5-inch barrel options and a 14.75-inch version equipped with a Crimson Trace® Lasersaddle®.

At the heart of the 990 Aftershock is a durable gas-operating system that is fully contained within the forend. Internal parts (gas piston, magazine tube, hammer, and sear) feature a nickel-boron coating and a special finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and smooth, reliable cycling. To further improve performance, the 990 has an enlarged and beveled loading port designed for ease of loading; elongated, pinch-free elevator; and anodized, bright orange follower. The oversized, ergonomic top-mounted safety can easily be operated by a left or right-handed shooter and features a highly visible red indicator. Enhanced functionality continues with the knurled charging handle; oversized, paddle-style bolt release; strapped forend for a firm hold and to keep hands clear of the muzzle; and a M-LOK® accessory adaptor with mounting slots on the sides and bottom attached to the extended 5-shot magazine.

The well-designed exterior of the 990 Aftershock epitomizes big tactical performance in a compact platform. The Aftershock black synthetic grip is uniquely shaped for an ergonomic, secure grip and features a rubberized palm pad to minimize felt recoil. A quick-detachment cup is incorporated on the rear of the grip. The matching black synthetic forend is streamlined, has an attached embossed strap, and wears Mossberg’s signature texturing; all combined for a more positive hold. Completing the 990 is the choice of 14.75 or 18.5-inch cylinder bore barrels equipped with a high-quality LPA front fiber optic sight; 5+1 total capacity (with 2.75-inch shotshells); and matte blue metal finish. The 14.75-inch version is also available with a Crimson Trace Lasersaddle which attaches easily to the receiver. The laser is adjustable for windage and elevation, and the fixture provides multiple touchpad activation points. Read more

CCW Safe Covers Church Security Teams During Self-Defense Incidents

During this Lenten Season, Churches can utilize a single payer option for the Volunteer Security Team members at the Designated House of Worship or sponsored Events.

CCW Safe supports houses of worship across the United States in their efforts to prioritize the safety of their congregations with its House of Worship Volunteer Security Team plan. With over 300,000 Christian houses of worship preparing for increased attendance during the Lenten season and Easter Sunday, the need for effective security measures has never been more critical.

Easter Sunday is a time of celebration and community, but it can also present unique challenges. As congregations gather to commemorate this significant occasion, houses of worship can become potential targets for threats. CCW Safe recognizes this reality and is committed to providing churches with the resources they need to ensure a safe environment for their members.

“CCW Safe wants you to protect your congregation with its House of Worship Volunteer Security Team plan this Easter,” said CCW Safe President Kent Brown. “We created this Volunteer Security Plan to help Houses of Worship provide safety and security in a way that doesn’t put monetary impact on volunteer staff. Volunteer security teams should not be afraid to defend themselves and fellow attendees. We believe that every church should have the means to create a secure environment where worshippers can focus on their faith without fear.”

From the first instance of a mass shooting of a faith-based property in 1963, it has been recorded that 13.3% of all hate crimes are religiously motivated and 46% of House of Worship shooters have stated religious hate as their primary motivation. Read more
