In this episode Kevin and Tom discuss a timely topic: how pandemics such as COVID-19 affect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners. The show opens with a detailed discussion of what the government can and cannot do from a legal perspective regarding gun rights while admitting this is uncharted territory and we have to wait and see. Questions asked by USCCA members include what to do now that law enforcement isn’t arresting criminals or even responding to calls as before, how long to stay on the scene if the police don’t come, and what exactly an imminent threat may be in this scenario.
