"In January 2021, Jacouri Burns was forced to fire his handgun in self-defense against two attackers. Burns, a USCCA Member, was arrested and charged with murder. He spent a torturous year and a half behind bars as he and his attorneys battled for his freedom and to clear his name. Finally, in June 2022, Burns was vindicated when a jury found him not guilty of all charges." This is his story. -Concealed Carry Magazine, January 2024

🎯 Want to shoot faster? Start with trigger speed.
Fast shooting isn’t just about pulling the trigger quickly — it’s about doing it without moving the gun
Pay close attention to your three supporting fingers.
Those are often what disturb your grip and move the gun off target. Your trigger finger shoots the gun… the rest of your hand helps keep it steady
Give it a shot next time you train 👊

🚨 ATF Quietly Changes Marijuana Language on New Gun Form Draft 🇺🇸
The ATF Form 4473 is the federal background check form you fill out when buying a firearm from a licensed gun dealer. It asks questions about your legal eligibility to purchase a gun — including drug use, criminal history and other disqualifiers.
Now, the ATF’s proposed new Form 4473 appears to remove the old blanket warning that marijuana use is federally illegal even for medical purposes.
That’s a major shift.
For years, law-abiding gun owners in medical marijuana states have been forced into an unfair choice: exercise their Second Amendment rights or follow their state’s medical marijuana laws.
⚠️ Important: This is still a draft form, not final policy. And it does not mean recreational marijuana users are suddenly cleared under federal gun law.
📅 What happens next:
➡️ April 23, 2026: DOJ/DEA announced that FDA-approved marijuana products and qualifying state-regulated medical marijuana products are being placed in Schedule III.
➡️ May 8, 2026: ATF published its proposed Form 4473 changes.
➡️ July 7, 2026: Public comments on the proposed Form 4473 changes are due.
➡️ June 29, 2026: DEA is scheduled to begin hearings on broader marijuana rescheduling.
➡️ After that: ATF will review comments before deciding whether to finalize the updated Form 4473.
