Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Words mean things. Today we have a very special guest, Louis Caras of LCAR Training. What is our accepted definition of training?

How can we learn and improve our skills, tactics and our overall mindset? Which is more important, repetitions or rehearsals? Is there a difference between the two? Should we be going fast or should we be working on the method? This is a show not to be missed by those who...

From www.ammoland.com:
Firearms Policy Coalition announced that Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed the FPC-supported H.B. 1927 into law, enacting “constitutional carry” (i.e., permitless carry) in the Lone Star state. Texas is now the twenty-first state to enact such legislation.
Under the new law, which takes effect on September 1, Texans aged 21 and older will no longer need a license to carry either open or concealed, though individuals must be legally eligible to possess handguns and cannot have been convicted in the last five years for misdemeanor bodily assault causing injury, deadly conduct, terroristic threats, or disorderly conduct. Carry licenses will still be available to eligible individuals who wish to acquire a license for various purposes, such as compliance with federal law prohibiting firearm possession in school zones, 18 U.S.C. § 922(q)(2).
From www.newsweek.com:
Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is looking to get rid of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), in an effort to protect gun owners from a "tyrannical, power hungry group of bureaucrats."
Greene, a staunch advocate for Second Amendment rights, introduced legislation on Thursday that would abolish the ATF and repeal regulations and guidance issued after August 2020. The legislation comes as Republicans push back on Dave Chipman, President Joe Biden's nominee to head the ATF, who they see as a threat to the right to own firearms.
