Newly-elected DNC vice-chair David Hogg says “You have no right to a gun… The modern interpretation of 2A is a ridiculous fraud pushed for decades by the gun lobby.” Fact checkers call this “misinformation.” We just call it “salty lies.”

Is it time to arm yourself and prepare to protect your home and loved ones? What are the safest and best options for a new gun owner – and which firearms are best for defending a house, an apartment, a business, or for concealed carry? 2nd Amendment experts share advice with Dr. Drew and explain how (and why) you should safely arm yourself to defend your home… even if you live in a state like California.
