House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is taking enough heat to melt the ice cream stash she recently revealed in what the New York Times described as her �high-end appliances� during a kitchen-based interview from her home in San Francisco, where she is self-isolating during the coronavirus pandemic panic.

The ice cream appears to be at issue, as Fox News is reporting that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is slamming the Speaker for allegedly slowing down replenishment of the Small Business Administration�s fund for small business loans to establishments closed because of the COVID-19 closures. Pelosi recently appeared on late night television with comedian James Corden, showing off a cache of ice cream.

There�s no shortage of used Springfield 944 Series A single-shot shotguns on the market. In fact, it earned top honors in that category on GunBroker.com last year. Ironically, it�s easier to find specimens of the gun in pristine condition than locate detailed information on the firearm. Here�s what we know for sure. First, the name is somewhat confusing. It is not and never was a Springfield Armory product. Stevens Arms Company�a brand acquired by Savage Arms in 1920�began producing firearms under the label Springfield (one word) in the late 1930s. In 1947, the budget-friendly line disappeared, though.

When the alarm went off, I had already been awake for 15 minutes. I easily popped out of my bed in the back of my 4Runner and started layering up. I was off hiking with my pack and shotgun slung on my shoulder in a matter of minutes. When the sun broke the horizon, I was a half-mile from my camp without another person in sight. Few turkeys were sounding off, preferring the silent treatment once they left the roost.
