They discuss this Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 (H.R. 38) and what listeners can do to help get this bill passed.

Chuck and Mark also talk about DACA being unconstitutional, as Obama never had the authority to make the law, while the left twists the national narrative to demonize Trump. They discuss how Progressives have made white men a socially acceptable group to discriminate against. Mark also brings up some of the most ridiculous things Kamala Harris has been saying, including what she believes are the main functions of government.
