Massad Ayoob on Why Nearly Every President Was a Gun Owner

Massad Ayoob on Why Nearly Every President Was a Gun Owner
Did you know Eleanor Roosevelt carried her own revolver, and once faced down Klan death threats without Secret Service protection, telling them she would drive her own car and carry her own gun? Massad Ayoob joins Gun Owners Radio in San Diego with a history most people never learned: nearly every American president, and more than a few first ladies, was a gun owner. From Lincoln shooting Spencer rifles on the White House grounds to Eisenhower carrying a .38 in New York City, the stories keep coming. He is also optimistic about the fight ahead. After Wolford, he does not see how the courts can keep justifying assault weapons and magazine bans much longer. Then Mike and Dakota read California's new 140-page anti-gun roadmap so you do not have to, Michael breaks down the Maine Senate race and what it tells you about party loyalty, Dwight Settle shares the Beyond the Teams charity paddle and the Seal One dealer program, the crew answers a viewer question on FSC cards, and Dakota digs into the book Emily Gets Her Gun. Sam closes it out with Stump My Nephew. Chapters: 0:00 — Welcome + announcements: remembering Laura Smith (memorial July 18, Skyline Church) and the July 29 gun-cleaning class 8:33 — Maine Senate: the candidate the machine backed anyway, and why you stay loyal to principles, not a party 14:46 — Massad Ayoob: the presidents and first ladies who carried, plus Wolford and why the assault weapons ban is on borrowed time 42:06 — California's 140-page anti-gun roadmap: what Sacramento is planning for the next five years 1:10:11 — Dwight Settle: the Beyond the Teams charity paddle and the Seal One dealer pilot program 1:48:21 — Viewer question: California FSC cards, the proposed 4-hour class, and whether to renew now 2:00:40 — Emily Gets Her Gun: a reporter's fight to legally buy a gun, and the vets punished for transporting theirs 2:14:10 — Stump My Nephew: the Browning Automatic Rifle Timestamps are from the raw recording. Shift them by however much intro or cold-open is added in post. If you care about the Second Amendment, California gun laws, self-defense, training, and honest conversations without the fear and outrage, this one is for you. 🔔 New episodes every Sunday.

America Turns 250: What Every Gun Owner Should Do About It

America Turns 250: What Every Gun Owner Should Do About It
Happy Independence Day. America just turned 250, and this Fourth of July we're doing the show a little differently: one theme, start to finish. Freedom is never guaranteed, and it doesn't defend itself. Michael opens with the history most people never learned: how it wasn't the Tea Party or "taxation without representation" that finally lit the Revolution, but British troops marching in to confiscate arms and powder. Then we sit down with two of the most effective activists in the country, both caught up with at the NRA Annual Meeting in Houston: Top Shot champion Chris Cheng on being a gun advocate in the heart of San Francisco, and Dianna Muller of Women for Gun Rights on turning ordinary gun owners into a political force. Alisha Curtin, our own California firearms instructor, shares why the 250th hits home for a wife and mom raising the next generation of free citizens. Dakota and Sam round it out with what the Declaration really asks of us. Chapters: 0:00 - Welcome + happy Fourth: why this episode is different, and what's on (Young Washington movie night, Massad Ayoob MAG20, Know Your Gun cleaning class) 9:28 - The history they skipped: how confiscating guns and powder, not tea, actually started the Revolution 27:24 - Chris Cheng (Top Shot): activism, the NRA's new welcome, and being a gun advocate in San Francisco's Castro 56:53 - Dakota: 250 years on, rights come from your Creator, not a king 1:13:51 - Dianna Muller (Women for Gun Rights): the NRA ARC Challenge, three-gun, and turning gun owners into activists 1:38:51 - Alisha Curtin: a Fourth-of-July reflection on the 250th, personal responsibility, and passing freedom to the next generation 1:46:24 - Sam (Stump My Nephew): a Fourth-of-July message on the Declaration, the unfinished work, and getting off the couch

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.

Chad Bianco is running for governor. What he does on gun policy will directly drastically affect every gun owner in California.

Bianco’s record in Riverside County is used as the baseline to evaluate what scales statewide, what changes, and what runs into legislative limits. The focus stays on execution, not rhetoric, including where policy meets reality in California.

The Quiet Anti-Gun Expansion You’re Not Hearing About
Virginia is moving a sweeping package of gun control bills that mirrors California’s most restrictive laws — permit-to-purchase schemes, magazine bans, excise taxes, expanded red flag laws, under-21 prohibitions, and industry liability attacks. This is not isolated legislation. It’s a coordinated anti-gun surge spreading state to state. We break down what’s happening, what it means nationally, and why culture and activism matter as much as lawsuits.

Glock Gen 6 Rumors, Lawsuits, and Reality

Glock Gen 6 Rumors, Lawsuits, and Reality
Glock Gen 6 rumors are everywhere — but most of what’s being repeated online isn’t coming from Glock at all. From the SHOT Show floor, we break down where the Gen 6 narrative started, what Glock has actually said, and how lawsuits and compliance pressure are distorting public expectations. This episode also covers how California’s handgun roster warps design timelines, availability assumptions, and consumer logic — and why people keep projecting motives onto Glock that don’t align with how the company operates. Beyond Glock, we move through major Second Amendment developments including Supreme Court arguments, an open carry lawsuit update, ATF marijuana enforcement conflicts, and cultural analysis that the mainstream coverage keeps missing.

California’s New Gun Laws for 2026

California’s New Gun Laws for 2026
California’s 2026 gun law changes are already reshaping what you can buy, how you can buy it, and how easily the state can jam up lawful owners with paperwork and “eligibility checks.” We walk through what these bills actually do (and what the internet is overreacting to), then close with a major roster update that turns the “Glock sell-through” into a mirage for a lot of models. Then we talk to Stephanie Dilyard about the 7-Eleven assault in Oklahoma and the part nobody wants to admit out loud: you can do everything right in a life-or-death moment and still get punished after the fact by an employer’s policy and liability instincts. In this episode: 00:38 Viral “tyranny” clip exposes how people misunderstand semi-automatic firearms and what the Second Amendment is actually for 15:50 AB 1263 accessory panic versus what the law is really trying to control with digital files and liability 27:11 SB 704 barrel rules treat parts like contraband and build toward ammo-style eligibility checks and reporting 34:53 AB 1078 brings three-in-30 back and adds CCW renewal traps like a hard 90-day reset and looming livescan requirements 53:49 Stephanie Dilyard tells the full story of the 7-Eleven attack and why her first fear afterward was losing her job 01:41:59 AB 1127 “Glock ban” collides with the CA roster and wipes out the promised July sell-through for many models 01:53:34 Another FN great episode of Stump My Nephew from @RidingShotgunWithCharlie 02:05:37 Pew Pew Crew pitch and why they want structured responses to YouTube comments instead of letting bad takes sit uncontested
