Eye On The Target Hour 2 The show discusses national concealed-carry reciprocity, noting that Donald Trump previously stated he would sign such legislation if it reached his desk.

Another event involved officers pulling guns on multiple students, only to later find no firearm at all. The hosts argue that such technology creates a false sense of...
