Oh, bravo, folks! Another stellar performance in the Chicago campus crime theater: a woman straight-up murdered in the parking garage at UI Health on the UIC campus. But hey, don't lose sleep over it—the cops are chalking it up to a cozy little domestic violence spat. Phew, crisis averted... unless,…

Guns Save Life can’t make endorsements in local, state and federal elections for public office, but we surely can for the NRA Board of Directors.

Today's star:  Shubham Patil, 23, fresh(ish) from India, studying cybersecurity at Roosevelt University—because nothing says "secure future" like commuting on…

by John Boch The fine folks at Rocky sent me a new set of boots for me to evaluate last October. I’ve worn the “Ultra Ops” Public Service Boots now for almost three months through snow, sleet, rain, ice and mud. Not only do they look great after my “torture”…
