In this week's Curtain Call, Alicia breaks down a defensive-gun-use story out of Pleasant Hill, Missouri. A man opened fire in a grocery-store parking lot over Memorial Day weekend. Two armed citizens who could have driven to safety chose instead to get out and stop him, holding him until police arrived.

In this segment:

What happened in the parking lot, and how fast it unfolded

The two everyday citizens who stepped in when they did not have to

The hard question: would you drive away, or get involved?

Why "when seconds count, help is minutes away" keeps proving true

Get a gun, get training, get a permit, and carry it everywhere you legally can

This is Gun Owners Radio: America's Second Amendment community, one weekly show. We have made 2A activism easy since 2012, and we bring you the news, interviews, and analysis just for gun owners.

California passes some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, and Washington keeps trying to take them national. We give everyday, law-abiding gun owners the news, the training insight, and the community to stand up and win. As firearms authority Massad Ayoob puts it, San Diego County Gun Owners is "literally a national model for what needs to be done at the city and county level."

The right to self-defense is a basic human right. Gun ownership is an integral part of that right. If you believe that too, you are one of us.

New episodes premiere every Sunday, 5 to 7 PM PT. Subscribe and join the fight.

Every generation thinks its problems are new.

But when it comes to violence, culture, and personal responsibility, history tells a different story. Michael A. Schwartz draws a line between past decades and today’s debates, pointing out that the underlying issues have been around far longer than most people realize.

Some patterns don’t change—they just get new headlines.

Mike and Alicia talk about political violence, the way it gets projected onto everyday gun owners, and a viral video that genuinely surprised them. A left-leaning creator called "Shabuki Sunshine" did the rare thing: he sat down, watched the other side for himself, and admitted he had been wrong.

In this segment:

The decades-old stereotype, from a 1994 Forrest Gump scene to today

Why the "toxic masculinity" label so often looks like projection

The viral change of heart that gave Mike some real hope

Why the answer is to talk and listen, not to gloat or score points

An open invite: maybe we should have this guy on the show

Matt Hauff spent 20 years in the Marine Corps, most of it in special operations, and he has trained shooters all over the world. His take: most people train the wrong way, and they pour almost all their time into the smallest piece of the fight. Marksmanship matters, but it is only about 10% of it.

In this interview:

-The four types of training, and why most people only do one
-Live fire vs simulator vs force-on-force: what each is actually for
-Why an indoor range builds confidence but cannot build real performance--The "garage band to rock star" analogy for how special operations training scales
-His one piece of advice: stay diverse, because skills are perishable

Most shooters focus on marksmanship—but that’s only a small piece of the picture.

Matt Hauff, a Marine Corps special operations veteran and instructor, breaks down why real-world performance requires more than range time, and why many training habits don’t translate under pressure.

“Garage band to rock star” is how he describes the jump from conventional training to special operations readiness.

A local PSA claims to explain straw purchases—but does it actually match reality?

Mike and Alisha break down what a straw purchase really is, why the commonly cited stats deserve scrutiny, and where well-meaning messaging can blur the line between criminals and lawful gun buyers.

“29%” gets repeated a lot—but context matters.

As Rich Yumul notes:
“In a gun shop, you see it. I’ve seen straw purchases attempted—but I’ve also seen how often people look the other way just to make a sale.”

Not everything in a PSA tells the full story.

A local NBC station ran a slick PSA about straw purchases, complete with a "29%" stat. Mike and Alicia watch it and ask the obvious question: who is this actually for? Real criminals are not changing course because of a news segment, and the people most likely to get caught up in vague rules are everyday, law-abiding buyers.

In this segment:

-What a straw purchase really is, and what it is not
-Why the "29%" number deserves a closer look (and the California roster angle behind it)
-Real-world gray areas, like a husband buying a firearm for his wife
-Alicia's view from behind the gun-shop counter
-Going after criminals instead of treating the law-abiding like suspects

The Supreme Court just changed the game for concealed carry.

Attorney Alan Beck, who won Wolford, explains what the “vampire rule” was, why it got struck down, and what it means for California’s SB2 and sensitive places laws.

Big shift. Bigger implications.
