California’s governor race is shaping up to be one of the most important political battles in the country — but can a Republican actually win statewide in California anymore?

Political analyst Barry Jantz joins Gun Owners Radio to break down the hard numbers behind California voter registration, Republican turnout, independent voters, and why the GOP keeps falling short in statewide elections. The conversation dives into Steve Hilton, Chad Bianco, Eric Swalwell’s collapse, Democrat strategy, and the reality behind the 2026 governor race.

Why Republicans Can’t Win California Governor Anymore

0 views 88 minutes ago

Many gun owners expected a pro-Second Amendment administration to immediately stop defending federal gun laws in court. That’s not how the DOJ actually works.

Adam Kraut from the Second Amendment Foundation and attorney Costas Moros explain why the Department of Justice still defends gun laws even under a pro-gun administration, how DOJ lawyers are obligated to handle federal litigation, and what changes are realistically possible at the ATF and Department of Justice.

The conversation also covers federal travel protections, DOJ strategy, ATF rule changes, constitutional litigation, and whether this administration is the most pro-Second Amendment DOJ in modern history.

SAF Explains Why the DOJ Isn’t Dropping Gun Cases

106 views 23 hours ago

Dead batteries, expensive optics, and unreliable backup setups have frustrated shooters for years. O-Sight says they have a solution.

Austin Hammond from O-Sight joins Gun Owners Radio to break down the company’s rechargeable red dot system, magnetic charging cover technology, competition shooter testing, and why they believe affordable optics can compete directly with legacy brands like Trijicon and Holosun.

The conversation also covers red vs green dots, astigmatism issues, optic durability, competition shooting feedback, and why modern shooters expect pistol optics compatibility on nearly every firearm platform today.

Can a $200 Optic Beat Trijicon and Holosun?

More women are carrying firearms than ever before — but most concealed carry gear was never designed with women in mind.

Emilie Stanley from Princess & the Pistol joins Gun Owners Radio to talk about safe concealed carry for women, fashionable carry options, social media backlash, and why so many women are entering firearms training and self-defense culture today.

The conversation also covers unsafe holster products marketed toward women, the Filster Enigma, online criticism from both anti-gun activists and traditional gun owners, and why women-focused firearms content is bringing entirely new people into the Second Amendment community.

How Second Amendment Cases Are Fought Behind the Scenes

Most gun owners hear about major lawsuits like Duncan or Bruen — but almost nobody understands how outside organizations influence those cases behind the scenes.

Adam Kraut from the Second Amendment Foundation and attorney Costas Moros explain what amicus briefs actually are, why gun rights organizations file them, how judges use them, and why they can shape major Second Amendment rulings without directly being part of the lawsuit itself.

The conversation also breaks down legal strategy, judicial persuasion, and why coordinated litigation matters in long-term constitutional fights.

President Trump just signed a sweeping executive order to protect Second Amendment rights—but what does it do? The order directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to review and potentially eliminate federal actions that restrict gun ownership, including ATF regulations, firearm classifications, and enforcement policies from the Biden administration.

We break down:

What this executive order really means for gun owners

Which federal gun laws and regulations could be overturned?

How could this impact CCWs, suppressors, and firearms manufacturing?

What happens next—will this order hold up?

President Trump just signed a sweeping executive order to protect Second Amendment rights—but what does it do? The order directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to review and potentially eliminate federal actions that restrict gun ownership, including ATF regulations, firearm classifications, and enforcement policies from the Biden administration.

We break down:

What this executive order really means for gun owners

Which federal gun laws and regulations could be overturned?

How could this impact CCWs, suppressors, and firearms manufacturing?

What happens next—will this order hold up?

Could this be the most significant rollback of gun control in decades? Watch now to find out!

Even the best techniques can be misused—and Position Sul is a prime example. In this discussion, Massad Ayoob shares why this popular "ready position" is often applied incorrectly, why it was never meant for the range, and how improper use can create serious safety risks.

Topics covered:

- The real purpose of Position Sul and why it was created
- Why using it as a default ready position is a mistake
- How poor technique can increase the risk of accidental muzzling
- The correct way to manage your firearm in close-quarters situations

Proper training is about using the right tool for the right job. Are you using Position Sul the way it was intended?

What’s your biggest firearms training pet peeve? Let us know in the comments!

The One Technique Gun Owners SHOULD NOT USE according to Massad Ayoob

Gun Owners Radio March 15, 2025 1:00 pm
