The so-called "California high capacity magazine" prohibition (aka the LCM or Large Capacity Magazine ban) may be on its way out. But it's not gone yet.

You've been involved in a defensive shooting — ideally a shooting and not a gunfight. What comes after? What should you do post-engagement? Here's a hint: it's not just flipping your head around dramatically in a theatric scan-and-assess. In today's episode, we discuss what to do after. Though important, situational awareness is necessarily different in every situation. However, to develop the proper mindset Daniel presents his system that if used in the course of training will help you prioritize your post-defensive shooting actions. Mindset, mission, purpose, and mental-emotional preparation can help save your life and protect your loved ones. We'll talk about that.

We have lots of new, green gun owners taking responsibility for their own personal and family protection turning to forums and social media to gain knowledge and information.
