Did you know Eleanor Roosevelt carried her own revolver, and once faced down Klan death threats without Secret Service protection, telling them she would drive her own car and carry her own gun? Massad Ayoob joins Gun Owners Radio in San Diego with a history most people never learned: nearly every American president, and more than a few first ladies, was a gun owner. From Lincoln shooting Spencer rifles on the White House grounds to Eisenhower carrying a .38 in New York City, the stories keep coming.

He is also optimistic about the fight ahead. After Wolford, he does not see how the courts can keep justifying assault weapons and magazine bans much longer. Then Mike and Dakota read California's new 140-page anti-gun roadmap so you do not have to, Michael breaks down the Maine Senate race and what it tells you about party loyalty, Dwight Settle shares the Beyond the Teams charity paddle and the Seal One dealer program, the crew answers a viewer question on FSC cards, and Dakota digs into the book Emily Gets Her Gun. Sam closes it out with Stump My Nephew.

Chapters:
0:00 — Welcome + announcements: remembering Laura Smith (memorial July 18, Skyline Church) and the July 29 gun-cleaning class
8:33 — Maine Senate: the candidate the machine backed anyway, and why you stay loyal to principles, not a party
14:46 — Massad Ayoob: the presidents and first ladies who carried, plus Wolford and why the assault weapons ban is on borrowed time
42:06 — California's 140-page anti-gun roadmap: what Sacramento is planning for the next five years
1:10:11 — Dwight Settle: the Beyond the Teams charity paddle and the Seal One dealer pilot program
1:48:21 — Viewer question: California FSC cards, the proposed 4-hour class, and whether to renew now
2:00:40 — Emily Gets Her Gun: a reporter's fight to legally buy a gun, and the vets punished for transporting theirs
2:14:10 — Stump My Nephew: the Browning Automatic Rifle
