About This Episode:

We trace the history of the right to keep and bear arms from English law in the 1300s through modern U.S. Supreme Court cases. We discuss the Statute of Northampton, the Stuart era, the English Bill of Rights, and how these developments shaped American constitutional thinking and the Second Amendment.

We then cover the colonial period, the Revolution, and post-Civil War developments, including restrictions on enslaved Black people, the Black Codes, the 14th Amendment, and cases such as Dred Scott, Cruikshank, and Miller. We end with major modern laws and decisions, including the NFA, the Gun Control Act, FOPA, Heller, McDonald, Bruen, and Rahimi, as well as current cases involving AR-15 bans and magazine limits.

As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to podcast@concealedcarry.com!

About This Episode:

In this episode we give a roundup of current Second Amendment court cases and gun-law developments. We discuss the Supreme Court’s narrow ruling in the Hemani case, the Court declining to hear two New York cases for now, and the 6-3 decision in Wolford v. Lopez striking down Hawaii’s private-property carry rule.

We also cover new lawsuits in California and Michigan challenging carry and permit restrictions, as well as Virginia’s new law banning certain assault firearms and magazines over 15 rounds. We note that several related cases are still pending in the courts.

As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to podcast@concealedcarry.com!

Happy Birthday America Sale (details coming soon)

Guardian Nation – https://www.guardiannation.com

About This Episode:

We look back at the events leading to the American Revolution, focusing on British attempts to control arms and ammunition and the growing tensions caused by taxation, the Boston Tea Party, and the Coercive Acts. We cover General Thomas Gage’s actions in Massachusetts, the powder alarm of September 1774, and how quickly the militia responded when British authority moved against stored powder.

We then discuss Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, including Paul Revere’s warning, the fighting at Lexington Green, and the British retreat to Boston under attack. We also touch on the siege of Boston, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the arrival of George Washington and Henry Knox, linking these events to the founders’ view of an armed population as a check on tyranny.

As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to podcast@concealedcarry.com!

About This Episode:

We discuss major updates to ConcealedCarry.com, including a site reorganization that consolidates tools and resources into clearer sections and makes navigation and search easier across the platform. We walk through the six core hubs — Shop, Learn, Train, Laws, Resources, and Help — and explain how the Learn and Train hubs organize articles, podcasts, videos, courses, dry fire materials, class directories, and the Guardian Conference.

We also cover the Legal Hub in detail, including improved state law pages, reciprocity maps, legal reference topics, and state-specific summaries, along with the distinction between permit reciprocity and permitless carry. Finally, we review the updated user dashboard, Guardian University, the business directory, and Guardian Nation membership, with a brief mention of upcoming Independence Day plans.

About This Episode:

We review a monthly set of justified save cases to discuss decision-making in defensive gun use incidents, including questions about who was the initial aggressor and when a threat had ended. The episode covers cases in Michigan, Oklahoma, Utah, Tulsa, Ohio, Philadelphia, and Florida, with incidents involving robbery, assault, domestic violence, forced entry, evidence handling, and police investigations.

We also give an update on the South Carolina case involving Chike Rick Chow, focusing on the later civil lawsuit after the earlier criminal process. Throughout, we emphasize the differences between criminal and civil standards and the risks of continuing a pursuit after an initial threat has ended.
