We graded every city council in San Diego County on your Second Amendment rights, a decade of record for all 18 of them, A through F. Exactly one earned an A, and the reason why goes back to the fight to get CCWs issued in San Diego at all.

Then: Indiana three gunner Adam Wilcox sits in the studio while Dakota walks him through California gun law one statute at a time, and watches his face. Plus the SDCGO voter guide is finally here, Judge Benitez joins us for dinner on September 9, and Bill from North County does something that almost never happens: he stumps Sam.

San Diego's 18 City Councils, Graded on Your Gun Rights

973 views August 30, 2026 5:00 pm

California’s Voice for Law-Abiding Gun Owners

Entertaining, educating, and uniting California’s 2A community — one episode at a time.

Get the CCW Application Checklist

Confused about the process to get your San Diego CCW permit?

Use our checklist that clarifies the steps and makes it as straightforward as possible.

Beyond the Permit - The Responsible Gun Owner's Guide

So you just got your CCW permit.  Now what? 🤔

How to get your FFL03 & COE in California

Want to get your Curios & Relic’s license (FFL03) and Certificate of Eligibility (COE) in California? 

Latest Videos

For four years the CDC's page on firearm injury said nothing at all about defensive gun use. The estimate came down in 2022 after pressure from gun control groups. In July it went back up: somewhere between 60,000 and 2.5 million times a year. The Trace called that an inflated claim.

Dakota's answer is simple. A range is not a lie. The real number lives somewhere inside it, and saying so is more honest than pretending the whole category does not exist, which is what the page did for four years.

In this segment:
- Where both ends of the range actually come from, and why they are so far apart
- The paragraph in the article that does not survive contact: why the 42% gun ownership figure does not undercut the survey it is aimed at
- Whether 5,000 people is a small sample, compared to the polls that call statewide races
- Why nobody can pin this number down: there is no law enforcement category for brandishing, and reporting to the federal crime database is voluntary
- The question we would put to the author: is there a number that would not have warranted this piece?
- Why the right to self defense does not depend on the statistic either way

The last point is the one worth staying for. Dakota makes the case that our side should not need the numbers to win the argument, and that manipulating them is not a victimless act, because it talks people out of the one tool that might save their life.

The CDC Put Defensive Gun Use Back. The Trace Is Furious.

158 views 8 hours ago

We graded every city council in San Diego County on your Second Amendment rights, a decade of record for all 18 of them, A through F. Exactly one earned an A, and the reason why goes back to the fight to get CCWs issued in San Diego at all.

Then: Indiana three gunner Adam Wilcox sits in the studio while Dakota walks him through California gun law one statute at a time, and watches his face. Plus the SDCGO voter guide is finally here, Judge Benitez joins us for dinner on September 9, and Bill from North County does something that almost never happens: he stumps Sam.

973 views August 30, 2026 5:00 pm

Pull the pistol grip off almost any AR pattern rifle and a small spring falls out. Most
people have lost one. Far fewer can say what it does.

Sam from Valley Center sent this week's question. Watch before you scroll the comments.

In this segment:
- This week's question, sent in by a listener
- Sam's answer
- Why your selector clicks instead of flopping
- Sam's writing on the Gun Owners Radio blog, including the 1855 rifle musket
- How to send in a question and win a hat or a shirt

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!

Did Trump’s Executive Order Just Eliminate Federal Gun Laws?

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!

The One Technique Gun Owners SHOULD NOT USE according to Massad Ayoob

Gun Owners Radio March 15, 2025 1:00 pm

HUGE WIN for California gun owners! Michael Schwartz breaks down the last-minute legal maneuver that kept Freedom Week magazines LEGAL. Attorney Paul Clement's Supreme Court appeal has stopped California from enforcing its magazine ban - for now. Learn exactly what you CAN do (possess, carry, use your mags) and what you CAN'T do (buy, sell, import). This critical update includes a clear explanation of what happens next as the case moves to SCOTUS and how long your rights remain protected. Essential information for anyone with standard capacity magazines in California! 

Download the magazine guide here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNcb7PYnVE5ewRqA7Jlb0iw/community?lb=UgkxqTrGkePiFBgLWXoyzHPjvY4Pymdn7vBe
