Cabela Family Announces Major Milestone for 24 Lions

The Cabela Family Foundation recently announced a major milestone for their 24 Lions initiative. Back in 2018, the family took on the largest wild African lion translocation in history, moving 24 Lions from South Africa into Coutada 11 of Mozambique. The significance of the move lies in the fact that there was not a viable population of lions in this area due to years of ongoing civil war, poaching, and due to the area being difficult for lions to access to recolonize. In fact, lions were considered “functionally extirpated” as of 2017.

Just seven years later, the initiative has reached a milestone of significant importance, with the family announcing the population has surpassed 100 lions. Worth noting is the fact that all of the funding for the project was raised by the Cabela Family Foundation and a sustainable hunting and conservation model, led by Zambezi Delta Safaris. Read more

SAF Issues Joint Statement on NFA Registration Challenge

With the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which eliminates the excise tax on silencers and short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns and “Any Other Weapons,” or AOWs, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have issued a joint statement indicating their intention to challenge the remaining registration requirements for the affected arms under the National Firearms Act (NFA) as unconstitutional.

“The NFA is nothing more than a tax scheme which has imposed an unconstitutional burden on Americans since 1934,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “The registration of these items was only justified as the means to ensure taxes on them had been paid. With the One Big, Beautiful Bill zeroing out the tax for silencers and short barreled firearms, the registration scheme serves no other purpose than to create an unlawful barrier to keep people from exercising their Second Amendment rights. Our intention with this new lawsuit is to completely remove these barriers.” Read more

America’s National Bird Thriving in the Buckeye State

More than 900 bald eagle nests documented in Ohio statewide survey

Ohio can celebrate a milestone this Independence Day with 964 confirmed active bald eagle nests, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife. More than 1,800 reports from citizen scientists statewide helped complete the 2025 bald eagle nest census. Division of Wildlife staff followed up on these reports and confirmed nest locations in 87 of Ohio’s 88 counties.

Active nests were counted as those with an incubating eagle, eggs, or eaglets present. Given the high volume of nests, this nest census represents the most complete picture possible of Ohio’s breeding bald eagle population.

“The bald eagle is one of Ohio’s great conservation success stories,” said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. “The eagle’s remarkable comeback over the last few decades, both in Ohio and nationwide, proves how much we can accomplish when we conserve and protect habitat.”

Bald eagles prosper in areas with wetland habitat. Lake Erie and other large waterbodies host the highest number of eagles because of easy access to food, such as fish. The 13 counties with the highest number of bald eagle nests include: Ottawa (112), Sandusky (61), Erie (40), Seneca (36), Wyandot (31), Trumbull (29), Lucas (27), Huron (21), Wood (20), Coshocton (19), Knox (19), Licking (19), and Mercer (19).

Each spring, the Division of Wildlife uses aerial surveys of a portion of the state to estimate Ohio’s population of nesting bald eagles. A complete nest census, in which every bald eagle nest in the state is counted, is performed less frequently. The last statewide census, conducted in 2020, documented 707 active bald eagle nests. The number of active nests increased 36% from 2020 to 2025. Read more

Chiappa Firearms continues to represent and honor that great generation with the WWII Commemorative M1 Carbine, a limited release of the iconic arm chambered in .22LR and 9mm. Read more

Federal Judge Rules California’s Non-Resident Carry Ban Unconstitutional

Tuesday afternoon, Federal District Court Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo issued an order granting final summary judgment to Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and its co-plaintiffs, three individual members of the organization who reside outside of California, in Hoffman v. Bonta, FPC’s Second Amendment challenge to the State’s ban on firearm carry by non-residents.

“This important judgment means that people must maintain their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms when they cross California’s border. Just as people are free to speak or worship in states they don’t reside in, this win makes clear they are likewise free to bear arms for lawful purposes throughout the United States,” explained FPC President Brandon Combs. “Unlike Louisiana, which recently repealed their unconstitutional residency requirement following an FPC legal challenge, California’s commitment to tyranny forced us to take this case to a final judgment. FPC will continue to eliminate unconstitutional residency requirements and other bans so that people can exercise their rights when, where, and how they choose.”

This FPC victory and others like it are especially important because the only way that most people can lawfully carry within 1,000 feet of schools is to possess a valid carry license issued by the exact state in which the person is carrying.

Today’s Hoffman judgment adds to FPC’s win column against the Golden State, including the first-ever trial judgment against a ban on so-called “assault weapons” as well as the recent Ninth Circuit victory affirming a trial court ruling that struck down California’s “1-in-30” gun purchase ban.

Opening Florida’s Black Bear Season: A Step Toward Sustainable Management

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) recently made the decision to reinstate bear hunting, and the anti-hunting backlash was swift. However, the core of this decision is not about sport or politics; it is rooted in science, safety, and the well-being of both bears and humans.

Florida’s black bear population is a testament to successful conservation efforts. From a precarious low in the 1970s, the population has now climbed to over 4,000, thanks to decades of careful, science-based management. That recovery is worth celebrating. But conservation doesn’t stop at recovery—it demands sustained management within the limits of available habitat. Read more
