THE ATF WAS HACKED! Are Gun Owners' Records at Risk?

The Bureau of Alcohol, To***co, Fi****ms and Explosives (ATF) has officially suffered a major cybersecurity incident linked to the notorious Qilin ransomware gang.

While the ATF claims their main enterprise network and e-forms systems were not impacted, new reports reveal that hackers have already begun leaking sensitive law enforcement files and investigation records.

If private personal information and federal registries are held on government servers, can they ever truly be secure?

When shots are fired and lives are on the line, every second counts. In this chaotic scenario outside an In-N-Out, we break down the split-second decisions that can mean the difference between life and death.

Watch as Jordan Salinas and an off-duty officer spring into action, selflessly drawing the shooter's attention so others can escape. Jordan’s training prepared him for situations exactly like this enabling him to protect others when they needed him most.

This footage highlights a critical question: Are you prepared to defend yourself and your loved ones in a life-threatening emergency?

Let us know in the comments: What would you do in this scenario? Are you actively training for self-defense?

Attorney Andy Marcantel checks in from the floor of the Gun Owners of America Leadership Summit (GOALS) in Des Moines, Iowa!

This week, USCCA announced "USCCA Law," and we have a few important questions. Are they trying to emulate our industry-leading self-defense program with a new law firm model? While we're flattered, we are left with some serious questions about how this operates:

Is this a real law firm?

Can you contract directly with them as a client and maintain attorney-client privilege?

Is this their main focus?

Are these attorneys exclusively handling self-defense cases, or is this just a side gig?

What about civil liability?

Do they have dedicated civil defense attorneys on staff to protect you in the aftermath of an incident?

Who is really in charge?

Is the insurance company still calling the shots regarding coverage and enforcing their long laundry list of exclusions?

There is no deviation from our mission to bring you the truth. Andy is heading back to the studio to record a full breakdown and legal analysis of USCCA Law's big announcement. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it!

Karmelo Anthony Convicted: Self-Defense Analysis, Bad Parenting & The Appellate Process

As lawyers in the trenches of self-defense litigation, Andy and Marc provide a unique, post-trial analysis of this controversial case. They detail why this incident fails the basic proportionality test for self-defense, the catastrophic impact of the defendant’s spontaneous statements to police, and the devastating trial testimony from a defense witness that triggered the "aggressor doctrine."

The discussion also explores the crucial next steps in the legal system: the appellate process. They analyze the high-profile pro bono team taking over the appeal, the legal framework of Batson challenges during jury selection, and the difficult Strickland standard for proving ineffective assistance of counsel. Finally, they discuss the severe lack of parental support at sentencing, why "bad parenting" is a vital mitigating factor in criminal law, and the fundamental importance of defending constitutional rights in unpopular cases.
