Legislation in South Carolina that would allow for individuals with carry licenses to do so either openly or concealed is expected to be signed into law, but believe it or not, some gun owners aren't happy about the changes.

How concerned should gun owners be about the DOJ's new proposed rule attempting to redefine common gun parts? Very, according to Matthew Larosiere, director of legal policy at the Firearms Policy Coalition, who tells Cam that the administration's proposed rule is flawed that it could not only impact the Second Amendment rights of citizens, but could chill their freedom of speech as well.

At least two towns in Massachusetts are trying to use zoning laws to create city-wide "gun store-free zones," but as Jim Wallace, executive director of the state's Gun Owners Action League tells Cam, the town councils could be in for a court fight.

Does a California law barring gun purchases for 18-20 year olds violate their constitutional rights? The Ninth Circuit is currently hearing a challenge to the state law, including California's ludicrous argument that the Founders considered all those under the age of 21 to be "infants," even as they were serving in the militia.

Attorneys Chuck Michel and Stephen Halbrook of the new 2nd Amendment Law Center join Cam for a roundtable discussion about the New York carry case accepted by the Supreme Court, and what the Court's eventual ruling could mean for the future of our right to keep and bear arms.

According to CNN Business, more than half of all firearms sold in the U.S. last month were purchased in Illinois. There's just one problem with their story: it's all wrong. Cam has the revealing details that show the media's ignorance on gun issues is almost as bad as its anti-gun bias.

The Texas state Senate could vote on Constitutional Carry language this week, and as Cam points out, while there are still plenty of threats to our Second Amendment rights, gun owners are moving the Overton Window when it comes to the right to bear arms.

After vetoing the original bill, Gov. Asa Hutchinson says he'll sign a revised bill that was approved by lawmakers in the waning hours of the legislative session. Cam takes a look at the changes, and what they mean for gun owners in the Natural State.

A new Washington Post/ABC News poll has found that new gun control laws are declining in popularity among Americans on the right and in the middle of the political spectrum, while Democrats still broadly support imposing new restrictions on responsible gun owners.

Amy Swearer of the Heritage Foundation joins Cam to ponder the possibilities surrounding a couple of unanswered questions about the Supreme Court's acceptance of a case challenging New York State's carry laws: what took the Court so long to say "yes", and why did the justices tweak the question posed by the plaintiffs?

The Supreme Court will hear a major case dealing with New York State's carry licensing laws this fall, and Cam has reaction and details from the head of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, which is bringing the case alongside several individual plaintiffs.

The police shooting of 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant has led to calls to abolish police and city leaders vowing changes to the department's training practices, but as Columbus gun shop and range owner Eric Delbert (who's also an active duty law enforcement officer) tells Cam, the howls of outrage are ignoring basic facts, including the knife that was in Bryant's hand and the teenager she was about to stab when she was shot and killed by a responding officer.

TheReload's Stephen Gutowski joins Cam to talk about a draft proposal from the ATF regulating the sale of unfinished frames and receivers, and why the text of the 107-page document could cause heartburn for even gun owners who don't build their own firearms.

With SCOTUS turning away three more cases dealing with the Second Amendment on Monday, many gun owners are wondering what it will take for the Court to accept a challenge to gun control laws that restrict the right to keep and bear arms. The Second Amendment Foundation's Alan Gottlieb joins Cam with his thoughts, and why the organization is still waging both new and old legal battles in the court system.

With gun control legislation bottled up (for now anyway) on Capitol Hill, anti-gun groups are turning their attention to state legislatures in their quest to put more gun control laws on the books. As Cam explains, however, the experience in one state with plenty of gun control measures already in place demonstrates the futility of trying to ban our way to safety.

Larry Keane, the National Shooting Sports Foundation's senior vice president and general counsel, joins Cam with reaction to President Joe Biden's new executive actions against DIY firearms, stabilizing braces and AR-style pistols, and the nomination of former ATF agent turned gun control activist David Chipman to head up the federal agency that oversees our nation's gun laws.

The American Medical Association is throwing its weight behind H.R. 8, the universal background check bill approved by the U.S. House a few weeks ago. Dr. Robert Young of Doctors For Responsible Gun Ownership joins Cam to explain why the org is off-base in claiming the legislation will save lives and address violent crime.

Cam is joined by Army veteran and political strategist Jim Hanson for a wide-ranging discussion about some of the ideas in his forthcoming book Winning The Second Civil War: Without Firing a Shot.

Another week has come and gone without the Supreme Court taking action in an important Second Amendment case involving the right to carry. Is SCOTUS setting 2A advocates up for disappointment once again, or could something else be going on behind the scenes?

While gun control legislation appears to be bottled up in Washington, D.C. at the moment, anti-gun lawmakers in Delaware and Illinois are rapidly moving to restrict the rights of legal gun owners, while leaving violent criminals untouched.

The Secret Service is out with a new report on how nearly 70 threats of active assailant attacks on schools were thwarted in the years between 2006 and 2018. Ryan Petty, whose daughter Alaina was murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, says no new gun control laws are needed to prevent these attacks; instead, we should be focusing on identifying threats before they act.

While the Supreme Court didn't take any action on a right-to-carry case out of New York on Monday, SCOTUS did turn away a challenge by New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal in a case that has far reaching implications for both the First and Second Amendment. Alan Gottlieb of the Second Amendment Foundation joins Cam to discuss the Court's decision, and why he views it as a hopeful sign when it comes to other 2A cases.

Frank Bruni of the New York Times admits that the phrase "gun control" is accurate, but he doesn't think it's helpful to the cause, so he's asking other journalists to stop using the phrase and start using less accurate and more biased phrases like "gun safety" instead.

Attorney Rachel Citak joins Cam to discuss the Ninth Circuit's ruling in Young v. Hawaii declaring that the Second Amendment doesn't protect a general right to bear arms, and how gun control laws like the one being challenged in Hawaii have traditionally been used to disenfranchise the rights of racial minorities and others throughout U.S. history.

From social media scolds to the heads of gun control organizations, we're hearing some absolutely ludicrous arguments in favor of gun control laws in the wake of the Boulder shootings. Cam breaks down some of the most nonsensical claims he's run across over the past few days, as well as offering a better approach to reducing violent crime.
