Advertise on podcast: Live to Shoot - Defending our 2nd Amendment Rights

Send us Fan Mail British records from the 1775 Siege of Boston reveal that civilians surrendered over 600 pistols — proving handguns were commonly owned well before the Second Amendment was written. Jeff breaks down what these numbers mean for today's legal battles over handgun rights, how they connect to the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, and why the 'muskets only' argument has never held up. If you carry a handgun, this history belongs in your back pocket. subscribe to my newsletter Follow this link and get $25 in ammo.

Send us Fan Mail Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger just sent an assault firearms ban back to the legislature — not to weaken it, but to demand it cover even more guns.  In this episode I break down what's in the bill, why the former 'moderate' is pushing for maximum restrictions, and how this could become a blueprint for gun bans nationwide. If you own a semi-automatic rifle or pistol, this one matters. subscribe to my newsletter Follow this link and get $25 in ammo.

Send us Fan Mail Two hundred and fifty years ago this month, the American Revolution crossed a point of no return. In April 1776, Congress opened the ports, North Carolina became the first colony to authorize a vote for independence, and Washington marched his citizen army toward New York. Jeff breaks down why these events matter — and what they tell us about the Second Amendment and armed citizenry today. subscribe to my newsletter Follow this link and get $25 in ammo.

Send us Fan Mail The ATF may not be finished with pistol braces — and a new legal challenge could expand where you’re allowed to carry. In this episode of Live to Shoot – Defending the 2nd Amendment, Jeff Dowdle breaks down two major developments that could directly impact gun owners across the country. First, despite ongoing legal challenges, there are growing signs the ATF is preparing to continue enforcing or revive its controversial pistol brace rule — raising serious concerns about regulatory overreach and shifting definitions that could affect millions of firearm owners. Second, a new legal challenge is targeting restrictions on carrying firearms in National Parks. Using the Supreme Court’s Bruen standard, this case questions whether the government can justify limiting where law-abiding citizens can carry — especially in areas that didn’t exist at the founding.

Send us Fan Mail As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, a recent halftime show has sparked an important cultural conversation. In this episode of Live to Shoot – Defending the Second Amendment, Jeff Dowdle examines the messaging behind the Bad Bunny halftime performance — from the prominent display of a Puerto Rican flag closely associated with the independence movement, to the reframing of “God Bless America” to include countries across North and South America rather than the United States itself. subscribe to my newsletter Follow this link and get $25 in ammo.

Send us Fan Mail Recent comments from Judge Jeannie Pirro, Kristi Noem, and Kash Patel about the legal carry of firearms have sparked confusion — not because they are anti-gun, but because messaging matters. In this episode of Live to Shoot – Defending the Second Amendment, Jeff Dowdle breaks down how even a strongly pro–Second Amendment administration can undermine its own goals through careless language and lack of coordination. While this may be one of the most gun-friendly administrations in modern history, repeated verbal gaffes and mixed signals risk giving ammunition to gun-control activists, courts, and bureaucracies eager to restrict carry rights. subscribe to my newsletter Follow this link and get $25 in ammo.
