    Wolford, Explained by the Lawyer Who Won It: What the "Vampire Rule" Ruling Means for Carry

    The Supreme Court just struck down the "vampire rule," and we sat down with the attorney who beat it.

This is the conversation you will not get anywhere else: the lawyer who took this case to the Supreme Court, in his own words. Mike and Alan break down what Wolford means for California's SB2, why it makes the fight over sensitive places and signage much easier from here, and the one thing you still have to honor at the door. Then Matt Hauff of West Coast Kinetic Solutions explains why most firearms training is backwards, Alicia digs into a Missouri defensive-gun-use story, and we get into a viral change of heart worth talking about.

    Kevin Michalowski: The Truth About Training, Mindset & Defending Your Church

    Concealed Carry Magazine's executive editor Kevin Michalowski sits down with Michael and Alisha for a straight conversation most gun owners need to hear: marksmanship is the easy part. The hard part — mindset, the law, and what actually happens after you use a firearm — is where most people are undertrained. He also breaks down how everyday people are protecting their houses of worship after the Michigan church attack, and why a "safety team" beats doing nothing. Then it's a packed news week: California's AB 1948 (your CCW could go from a 2-year to a 3-year permit), a 9-0 Supreme Court win for gun owners, a Pasadena PD dashcam you have to see to believe, and a new Second Amendment Foundation lawsuit over red dots and carry guns.
