Kevin Michalowski: The Truth About Training, Mindset & Defending Your Church

from Gun Owners Radio

Concealed Carry Magazine's executive editor Kevin Michalowski sits down with Michael and Alisha for a straight conversation most gun owners need to hear: marksmanship is the easy part. The hard part — mindset, the law, and what actually happens after you use a firearm — is where most people are undertrained. He also breaks down how everyday people are protecting their houses of worship after the Michigan church attack, and why a "safety team" beats doing nothing. Then it's a packed news week: California's AB 1948 (your CCW could go from a 2-year to a 3-year permit), a 9-0 Supreme Court win for gun owners, a Pasadena PD dashcam you have to see to believe, and a new Second Amendment Foundation lawsuit over red dots and carry guns.
