  • Great content , bad audio

    When you guys made the switch the audio has been awful. We can barely hear Alicia, Mike’s audio level is fine and people who call in to the shows audio is too high. I drive a big rig so I’m constantly having to adjust my audio. Other than that, GREAT SHOW. Please fix this.

    *UPDATE *

    Audio has been fixed. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wolford, Explained by the Lawyer Who Won It: What the "Vampire Rule" Ruling Means for Carry
Q: How does Wolford affect SB2 and other location-based restrictions in California?
Wolford makes it easier to enjoin California's vampire rule and similar locational restrictions by demanding historical closeness to the founding-era framework, which could hasten injunctions and future litigation against broad access limits.
Wolford, Explained by the Lawyer Who Won It: What the "Vampire Rule" Ruling Means for Carry
Q: All right, Alan, I have a quick question for you.
The Wolford ruling confirms that history must be closely tied to the law being upheld, and it limits how courts can justify broad should-issue style restrictions without strong historical backing.
Kevin Michalowski: The Truth About Training, Mindset & Defending Your Church
Q: How do people find more information about protecting houses of worship or Uscca resources?
Uscca provides information through uscca.com and its social channels; materials are available publicly, not requiring membership, and there are resources on training and legal protection.
California Primary 2026: The Results Every Gun Owner Needs to See
Q: What were the main strategic conclusions about the governor's race and potential endorsements from gun groups?
The hosts argued that Steve Hilton had limited chances to win the governor's race, with concerns that his leftward shift post-primary could undermine gun-rights priorities, while Becerra's past anti-Second Amendment actions were highlighted as problematic for gun owners; endorsements were debated in the context of party strategy and practical alignment with gun-rights goals.
Red Flag Laws Have a Sneaky Cousin: "Yellow Flag" Laws Explained — w/ SAF's Bill Sack
Q: Can you brief us on what yellow flag laws are and how they differ from red flag laws?
Yellow flag laws are a cautious variant of extreme risk protection orders that add due process protections, higher evidentiary standards, and involve law enforcement and mental health professionals before any disarmament occurs, unlike some red flag regimes that can act with lower standards and ex parte actions.
