There are a few fires burning in the White Mountains. I stayed in Show Low, Arizona, last night, and you could smell the smoke in the hotel hallways. The fires are still quite a distance away, but I grew up in Southern California and lived through major wildfires. Forest and brush fires move very fast. Before I hit the rack last night, my gear was ready to go:
- Truck fueled up and backed into the parking spot
- Gear packed and staged at the door
- Clothing and boots laid out and ready
- Respirator mask and firefighter goggles set up and within reach.
I was good to go. Too many people die because they wait until the last minute to punch out—or they try to evacuate with no fuel in their cars. I slept great last night knowing I could be in the truck and gone in under 10 minutes, should the need arise.

In the first half, attorney Sean Maloney from Second Call Defense joins me to explain the lessons gun owners can learn from what happened to Kyle Rittenhouse.
In the second half, I discuss a home invasion case from Oceanside California in which the homeowner successfully defended himself.
