Amanda Suffecool and Rob Campbell discuss pressing Second Amendment issues, focusing heavily on the SIG Sauer P320 controversy. They report that the FBI deemed the P320 unfit for duty following a July 2025 investigation, and the Air Force Global Strike Command paused its use of the M18 (P320 variant) after a fatal accidental discharge at a Wyoming base, where a holstered firearm discharged without being touched. Multiple holster companies and over 20 national training organizations have banned the P320, citing concerns over unintended discharges.

Suffecool and Campbell debate the implications for law enforcement and civilians, noting SIG’s updated manual advising against carrying with a chambered round, which poses challenges for duty use. They speculate on a potential recall, suggesting SIG may split its corporate entities to mitigate financial fallout, and reference a $11 million Philadelphia lawsuit awarded to a victim of an accidental P320 discharge.

The hosts highlight a Michigan event, Legally Armed in Detroit, where 1,109 women participated in a firearms safety and shooting program, emphasizing its role in empowering underserved communities with education and access. They discuss a Traverse City, Michigan, incident where a concealed carry holder and a bystander with a shopping cart stopped a man who stabbed 11 people in a Walmart, underscoring the value of armed citizens in crisis

Suffecool and Campbell stress the importance of carrying loaded firearms for permit holders, advocating for consistent safety checks. They also preview a Supreme Court case, U.S. vs. Cooper, set for discussion on September 29, 2025, addressing marijuana use and gun ownership, comparing it to alcohol laws where impairment, not use, restricts rights. Finally, they note the Ninth Circuit’s ruling overturning California’s ammunition background check requirement, allowing cross-state purchases, which frustrated Governor Gavin Newsom despite his recent pro-gun posturing.
