Bear Creek Arsenal BC-201 & BC-202: The Legacy Begins Here

At a certain point in life, most people have passing thoughts on the mark they will leave on the world. While the legacies we leave are nice, the biggest impact passing on the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to the youth for the next generation to carry on. Early training in firearm safety, survival, and hunting options are values and skills that are slowly diminishing in our society. Early training and effective use of firearms is a foundational block in the process of the legacy in our society.
The rifle is the best option to start with teaching beginners and Bear Creek Arsenal’s 201 and 202 is a great place to start. .22LR and the .22 WMR are both calibers already offering minimal recoil as a rimfire cartridge. This rifle weighs six and a quarter pounds and thus has almost no mitigated recoil. One can finetune the fundamentals of shooting, aiming, trigger reset, and safety. Both are some of the most inexpensive calibers to shoot and the affordability encourages regular training and skill development. You do not need to have a threaded barrel as the lack of significant concussion and low noise level in both the .22LR and .22 WMR creates a comfortable shooting environment; however, we do have this option.
We also sell just the barrel if you want to upgrade your current rifle. This positive experience fosters confidence and encourages continued interest in shooting. BCA’s 200 Series provides an accessible and enjoyable entry point for new shooters, ensuring a positive legacy of firearm education and responsible gun ownership.Bear Creek Arsenal – Shop BC-201 and BC-202

New York: AG Warns Businesses Against Selling Realistic-Looking Toy Guns Ahead of Halloween

AG James Urges Consumers to Report Retailers That Are Selling Realistic-Looking Toy Guns In Stores or Online

NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today issued a consumer alert ahead of Halloween reminding businesses and online retailers that they cannot sell realistic-looking toy guns. New York law prohibits retailers from selling toy guns that are black, dark blue, silver, or aluminum-colored and look like a real gun. Toy guns sold in New York must be made in bright colors or made entirely of transparent or translucent materials. Realistic-looking toy guns can pose a danger to children and can be used to engage in illegal and dangerous activity. Attorney General James urges parents and consumers to report retailers who are selling realistic-looking guns online or in stores to her office by filing an online complaint.

“Realistic-looking toy guns have led to tragedies in our communities, and that is why they are banned in New York,” said Attorney General James. Read more

Invasive Carp Detected in Wisconsin Rivers

MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced today that silver carp, an invasive species, have been detected in portions of the lower Chippewa River and lower Black River in western Wisconsin.

In May 2024, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) collected 134 water samples from the lower Chippewa River to test for invasive carp environmental DNA (eDNA). At that time, no eDNA was found for invasive carp.

In July, the DNR began receiving reports from anglers of jumping fish suspected to be invasive carp at the Dells Dam on the lower Chippewa River in Eau Claire. The Dells Dam in Eau Claire prevents further upstream passage of invasive carp in the Chippewa River System.

On Aug. 1, DNR staff went to the dam and observed jumping fish but were unable to verify the species of fish. On Aug. 27, the DNR downloaded data from an acoustic receiver tasked with listening for transmitters embedded in fish in the lower Chippewa River, 6 miles downstream of the Dells Dam. Data showed that a single silver carp, originally tagged and captured on the Mississippi River near Davenport, Iowa, was detected on July 21, Aug. 4 and Aug. 26, confirming that silver carp had migrated into the lower Chippewa River at that time.

NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, has seen in recent days media repeat an unsubstantiated allegation the Montana U.S. Senate candidate Tim Sheehy mishandled a firearm, resulting in personal injury to himself. The fact that this months-old and unproven allegation is resurfacing in the closing days of a hotly-contested election is unsurprising, given the current state of politics and hyperbolic rhetoric that has come to characterize our political contests.

NSSF has examined the facts, as presented by media reporting, and offers the following observations based on the design, safety features and protocols, and caliber of the firearm Mr. Sheehy was carrying at the time of the alleged incident in Glacier National Park in October of 2015. Read more

Fish Monkey: Prevent Cold Feet This Year

Picture this: You’re getting ready to walk into your stand or blind in the quiet darkness of predawn. The property has some standing water so you’re wearing knee-length rubber muck boots and, since the mercury is just above freezing, two pairs of socks. You walk in for a half mile or so, occasionally sloshing through some ankle-deep mud along the way, being as quiet as possible. You get set up and everything looks good—time to wait patiently and see what happens.

A little while later, the cold starts creeping in, starting with your feet. In another 30 minutes, they’re starting to get really chilly now. Read more

The first of the “Street Edition” series will begin shipping in November and commemorates Ruger’s 75th anniversary. This first pistol will be adorned with the 75th anniversary logo and “75 Station St.,” the address of the Red Barn where Ruger’s iconic manufacturing tradition began.

The remainder of the “Street Edition” SR1911s will begin shipping at the end of 2024.

Each member of the series will feature a unique grip color, and the facility street name will be engraved on the top of the slide. Production will be limited to 500 of each model.
