The ProblemYou bought a handgun, the one recommended by the guy at the gun shop. You even shot it at the indoor range where you bought it and hit your target, sort of … Most of the shots were on the target somewhere. After learning to shoot your new purchase, you decided to enter the realm of carrying the gun concealed. You took a concealed-carry course and bought a holster for everyday carry, but from the start you haven’t been able to connect the dots. Aside from talking to different people more experienced in carrying concealed than you, reading magazines and watching videos, you feel there is still something lacking. Three separate factors are most often emphasized: sights, trigger and gun fit, but you don’t see how they relate to one another—especially gun fit. In your mind you need to better understand why these factors are so important. The SolutionFitting a gun to a shooter’s hand(s) is paramount to the two main objectives of using a firearm, which are safe handling and being able to hit a target on demand. Both require a conscious awareness of the position of the gun’s muzzle and the shooter’s trigger finger to be effective.…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A clinical psychologist is warning that the trend of cutting off family members over political differences, often promoted as “self-care” on social media, may actually fuel loneliness and worsen mental health.”Cutting off your social support, cutting off your family members, creating loneliness and isolation for yourself, is actually the worst thing you can do for your mental health,” Dr. Chloe Carmichael told Fox News Digital. “That’s like eating Twinkies for health food.”Carmichael, author of the new book “Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly,” argues that alienating loved ones over politics undermines family bonds, resilience, emotional well-being and freedom of expression.Carmichael points to an increasing number of progressive young Americans who are choosing to sever ties with parents or relatives over their support for President Donald Trump.  FORMER OBAMA SPEECHWRITER ADMITS SHUNNING CONSERVATIVE IN HIS FAMILY WAS A MISTAKE”It’s unfortunate that we’ve seen an incredible trend of younger family members typically cutting off more senior family members, sometimes even their own parents,” she said.She connects this trend to research from Tufts University showing liberals tend to report worse mental health than conservatives. According to her…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! CNN media analyst Brian Stelter said the fatal stabbing of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska is being used as a “political symbol” by “pro-Trump activists.” Recently released video of Zarutska’s killing last month in Charlotte, North Carolina, spread across social media. The clip shows 34-year-old Decarlos Brown standing up behind her on a light rail train and stabbing her with a pocketknife. Brown has been charged with first-degree murder.”Most murders in the U.S. never become national news,” Stelter began Monday during a CNN segment. “This one’s got our attention for a couple of reasons. No. 1, first and foremost, the recent release of that gruesome video. Second, the energy from pro-Trump activists. They picked up on this video from local news and ran with it.” “It’s a little bit like the times when civil rights groups have raised attention about police-involved shootings. In this case, it is Trump-aligned influencers who are posting up a storm about this case on social media, really over the weekend,” Stelter continued. “Elon Musk, Charlie Kirk, other Trump-aligned figures succeeded in making this senseless death a symbol of big city crime.” TRUMP CONDEMNS ‘LUNATIC’ IN CHARLOTTE STABBING: ‘IF WE DON’T…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! If there’s one thing that Donald Trump absolutely, positively despises, it’s bad publicity.And after RFK Jr. got absolutely hammered at that hearing the other day–including by a member of the leadership, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso–he realized that he had to cut his losses.What was he going to do, say ignore those Republican senators, like Bill Cassidy, who’s a doctor, like Barrasso, when he says that vaccines work and he’s deeply concerned that Kennedy misled the Hill during his confirmation hearings?So after months of letting him “go wild,” in his words, Donald has broken with Bobby.REPUBLICAN DOCTORS CLASH WITH RFK JR OVER VACCINES IN TENSE SENATE SHOWDOWN”You have some vaccines that are so incredible. I think you have to be very careful when you say some people don’t have to be vaccinated…,” the president said.”Look, you have vaccines that work. They just pure and simple work. They’re not controversial at all, and I think those vaccines should be used, otherwise some people are going to catch it, and they endanger other people,”The president has had enough.What’s more, Kennedy’s family–including his sister Kerry and former congressman Joe Kennedy III–demanded he resign, along with…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The San Francisco 49ers kept Christian McCaffrey on the field in their 17-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks, but another star offensive weapon is expected to miss multiple weeks after leaving the game early.Tight end George Kittle, who scored the team’s first touchdown of the year on Sunday in Seattle, left the NFC West bout with a hamstring injury. That injury is expected to keep him out three to five weeks, according to NFL Network.Head coach Kyle Shanahan made the announcement on Monday after the win, saying that Kittle would miss a “few weeks.” Shanahan added that no decision has been made about placing Kittle on injured reserve. While Kittle isn’t going to be playing this upcoming week, there is a chance that starting quarterback Brock Purdy may not play, either.Shanahan said that Purdy is dealing with left shoulder and toe injuries, and he wouldn’t guarantee his quarterback would be able to play against the New Orleans Saints. Shanahan also said the toe was the worse of the two ailments.START STREAMING WITH A 7-DAY FREE TRIAL AT FOXONE.COM OR DOWNLOAD THE FOX ONE APP ON YOUR FAVORITE DEVICE”Not sure, has to see…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on the Charlotte Metro last month has sparked federal attention from FBI Director Kash Patel and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who say the case is under federal investigation and will have implications far beyond North Carolina.Patel says the FBI has been investigating the Charlotte train tragedy “from day one” and even hinted that new developments could be released soon. “Stay tuned,” he added to a social media post on X, suggesting that the federal probe could reveal more than what has been disclosed thus far.Duffy also took to social media to announce that the agency is launching an investigation of its own into how the Charlotte transit system failed to protect Iryna Zarutska. Duffy’s announcement is tied directly to a recent message from President Donald Trump’s “zero tolerance” message regarding crime.TRUMP SAYS DEMOCRATS HAVE ‘BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS’ AFTER DEADLY CHARLOTTE TRAIN STABBING “If mayors can’t keep their trains and buses safe, they don’t deserve the taxpayers’ money,” Duffy said in a statement. “@USDOT will be investigating Charlotte over its failure to protect Iryna Zarutska.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The first three quarters weren’t pretty for Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy in his first NFL start on Monday night, but all that matters is what happens in the fourth quarter. McCarthy led the Vikings on a thrilling comeback, scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter to defeat the Chicago Bears, 27-24, on the road to begin the 2025 NFL season. Last season, McCarthy was on the sideline with a season-ending meniscus injury suffered during preseason. He watched as Sam Darnold led the Vikings to a 14-3 record, but McCarthy knew heading into this campaign it was his turn to get the job done at quarterback in head coach Kevin O’Connell’s dynamic offense.  McCarthy was having some trouble doing so to start this game, as the Bears’ defense, led by new coordinator Dennis Allen, was drawing up the right pressures to fluster the young signal caller. He was only able to get Will Reichard into field goal range twice in the first half, while Caleb Williams and the Bears’ offense got off to a hot start under new head coach Ben Johnson. But crunch time in the fourth quarter, with the Vikings down 17-6, McCarthy…
