Gun Talk with Tom Gresham, the granddaddy of firearms radio that’s been dropping knowledge bombs for 30 straight years, just locked in a powerhouse new affiliate: KFIV AM 1360 in Modesto, California. Starting this Saturday, Tom and crew will hit the airwaves from 7-10 PM PT, bringing their unfiltered takes on guns, gear, self-defense, and Second Amendment battles to the heart of California’s Central Valley. This isn’t just another slot on the dial—it’s a strategic beachhead in a state that’s been ground zero for anti-gun zealotry, from magazine bans to roster restrictions that make owning a modern pistol feel like applying for a moon landing permit.
With this move, Gun Talk surges past 310 stations nationwide, a testament to the exploding demand for pro-2A voices amid relentless media blackouts. Modesto’s no small potatoes: Stanislaus County’s got over half a million residents, many of them blue-collar folks who hunt, shoot, and value their rights despite Sacramento’s nanny-state squeeze. Tom Gresham’s show has always punched above its weight by blending expert interviews, listener call-ins, and real-talk analysis—think dissecting SCOTUS rulings or exposing ATF overreach without the sugarcoating. Airing prime-time weekend slots like this one means reaching weekend warriors tuning in while prepping for the range or family BBQs, potentially flipping local narratives in a battleground where recalls and ballot fights could tip the scales.
For the 2A community, this is rocket fuel. California’s the most populous state and a trendsetter for gun laws nationwide—if Gun Talk thrives here, it normalizes pro-gun discourse, empowers grassroots activists, and chips away at the guns are taboo echo chamber. Expect ripple effects: more informed voters, energized FFLs, and maybe even a few pols rethinking their positions. Tune in, spread the word, and celebrate—because in the radio war for our rights, every affiliate is a victory lap.
