Has mutual combat become a recognized practice in the United States? Can we start dueling again without interference from the state? During our SOTG Homeroom from CrossBreed Holsters we consider the state of affairs in Chicago.
For our Brownells Bullet Points this week, we consider an often overlooked topic. What is new in the world of electronic hearing protection? How do both the students and the instructors benefit from these devices?
One of the largest exhibitors has pulled out of the 2022 SHOT Show. Who is it and what was their reason for doing so?

SOURCES
From www.theblaze.com:
Chicago gang members involved in a deadly shooting Friday were released from custody without charges — one of them being first-degree murder — in part because the five arrestees were “mutual combatants” and willingly fought with each other, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
What are the details?
The paper — citing an internal police report and a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation — said the “brazen mid-morning gunfight” in the Austin neighborhood involved rival factions of the Four Corner Hustlers street gang.
