How should gun owners approach discussions about the Second Amendment with the media?

Gun owners should approach media discussions with a calm demeanor and factual information. It's important to distinguish between genuine gun safety groups and gun control groups, and to provide context for statistics to ensure accurate reporting and understanding of Second Amendment issues.

What is the current status of Constitutional Carry in Michigan?

As of the broadcast, Michigan's Constitutional Carry bill had been approved by the House and was awaiting passage through the Senate and signature from the governor. This would allow permitless concealed and open carry of firearms in the state.

Why is national reciprocity for concealed carry permits important?
