🎙️ This Week on the So, Does It Matter? Podcast — Chuck Michel, President of the California Rifle & Pistol Association

Welcome back to So, Does It Matter? The Podcast — where we sit down each week with the people who shape, fight for, and sometimes frustrate the future of California politics. I’m Jon Fleischman, publisher of So Does It Matter, and this week we’re taking on one of the most critical issues in the state: our Second Amendment rights.

My guest is Chuck Michel, President of the California Rifle & Pistol Association and one of the most experienced and influential Second Amendment attorneys in America. For decades, Chuck has been on the front lines in courtrooms and the Capitol, pushing back against Sacramento’s increasingly aggressive attempts to restrict lawful gun ownership. If there’s a major firearms case in California — past, present, or upcoming — chances are Chuck has been right in the middle of it.

In our conversation, we discuss the lawsuits now reshaping California’s gun laws, the battles still ahead, and what citizens need to understand as legislators and bureaucrats continue pushing the limits of constitutional authority. It’s a meaningful, eye-opening conversation — and as you’ll hear, it also comes with a couple of real-world calls to action for anyone who cares about protecting their rights.

🎥 Watch the whole conversation above — and find the video and podcast players below.
