NBA star James Harden was arrested in Houston over a legally owned firearm — not for committing a crime, but over how he was traveling with it.

In May 1776, Congress told every colony to throw off British authority — weeks before the Declaration of Independence was even written. Jeff covers the pivotal resolutions, Virginia's bold move, the collapsing Canadian campaign, and why armed citizens were the only thing that gave those political declarations any real teeth. This is the Road to 250 series, and we're getting close to July 4th, 1776.

British records from the 1775 Siege of Boston reveal that civilians surrendered over 600 pistols — proving handguns were commonly owned well before the Second Amendment was written. Jeff breaks down what these numbers mean for today's legal battles over handgun rights, how they connect to the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, and why the 'muskets only' argument has never held up. If you carry a handgun, this his...

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger just sent an assault firearms ban back to the legislature — not to weaken it, but to demand it cover even more guns.  In this episode I break down what's in the bill, why the former 'moderate' is pushing for maximum restrictions, and how this could become a blueprint for gun bans nationwide. If you own a semi-automatic rifle or pistol, this one matters.
