On September 26 Governor Newsom signed ten new gun bills, and they take effect January 1, 2027. A new four-hour training requirement. A ten-year gun ban for possessing a firearm with no serial number, including grandad's pre-1968 rifle. A five-year ban after certain mental health holds, even when a court releases you. 3D printers required to block gun files. Here is every one, what it does, and what you can do about it.

Do you know who your city council member is? Your county supervisor? Your school board rep? Gun Owners Radio co-host Dakota Adelphia makes the case that gun owners can't afford to only pay attention to the big races.

Bad gun laws don't come from nowhere. They start in small local elections. Gavin Newsom began his political career on the San Francisco Traffic and Parking Commission, and as governor he has signed ammunition background checks, precursor-part restrictions and SB 2, which made hundreds of thousands of places in California off-limits to carry after the Bruen decision. The city council member of today is the state legislator of tomorrow.

If we wait for the fight to come to us, we've waited too long. Get to know your local candidates, find out where they stand on the Second Amendment, then show up, knock on doors, make the calls and vote.

The Glock 43X CA is now on the California DOJ handgun roster. It is the first Glock a California dealer can sell new since AB 1127, and a model that was never sold here before. Dakota found it on the roster's recently added list. The panel covers how Glock got it there, who it suits for concealed carry, and when to expect one in a store.

In this segment

-How a 43X got onto the roster after AB 1127 banned Glock sales
-The loaded chamber indicator and magazine disconnect that got it certified
-Why Glock picked a model California never had, instead of bringing back the 19
-43X vs the Bodyguard 2.0 vs the P365, and which one actually conceals
-When it is expected in stores, and whether to put a deposit down now
-Why the "expired date" on the roster listing is not what it looks like

Dick Heller is the name on District of Columbia v. Heller, the 2008 Supreme Court decision that recognized your individual right to keep a handgun in your home for self-defense. In his own words he's just an "average gun dude," and he'd rather you call it the Scalia decision.

Dakota Adelphia sat down with Dick in Washington, DC over a couple of porters. He explains how a doctor with a trunk full of Olympic match guns got it started, how a desk officer's handwritten note gave him standing, and how 400 cough drops handed out to people sleeping outside the Supreme Court led to McDonald v. Chicago. Then he gets practical: the small cases that win, why the school board is where it starts, and why the first step is getting off the couch.

Chapters:

President Trump just signed a sweeping executive order to protect Second Amendment rights—but what does it do? The order directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to review and potentially eliminate federal actions that restrict gun ownership, including ATF regulations, firearm classifications, and enforcement policies from the Biden administration.

We break down:

What this executive order really means for gun owners

Which federal gun laws and regulations could be overturned?

How could this impact CCWs, suppressors, and firearms manufacturing?

What happens next—will this order hold up?

Could this be the most significant rollback of gun control in decades? Watch now to find out!

Even the best techniques can be misused—and Position Sul is a prime example. In this discussion, Massad Ayoob shares why this popular "ready position" is often applied incorrectly, why it was never meant for the range, and how improper use can create serious safety risks.

Topics covered:

- The real purpose of Position Sul and why it was created
- Why using it as a default ready position is a mistake
- How poor technique can increase the risk of accidental muzzling
- The correct way to manage your firearm in close-quarters situations

Proper training is about using the right tool for the right job. Are you using Position Sul the way it was intended?

What’s your biggest firearms training pet peeve? Let us know in the comments!
