If you’re curious how I actually make money with YouTube while still being able to homeschool my kids, there’s a link below where you can watch a training and book a call and we’ll walk through the entire process together: https://dougjohnsonofficial.com/free-...

California is one of the most restrictive and heavily scrutinized states in the country to own a firearm. If you just bought your first gun here, what you do next matters — not just for you, but for every law-abiding gun owner in this state. This video isn’t about looking tactical or playing operator. It’s about responsibility, understanding California law, training correctly, protecting your family, and not making mistakes that give the wrong people ammunition against the Second Amendment.

I walk through what I believe every new California gun owner needs to handle immediately: accepting the weight of ownership, knowing your firearm inside and out, having the right conversations in your household, staying current on CA laws, getting real training, choosing the right ammo, setting up your firearm intelligently, thinking about concealed carry, and — something most people ignore — medical preparedness. Owning a firearm here requires discipline, humility, and constant awareness.

If we haven’t met, I’m Doug. I make videos to help men become better husbands, fathers, and protectors so we can provide, prepare, and lead our families well. If that’s something you’re about, consider subscribing. And if you’re interested in how my wife and I built income online so we weren’t stuck in a 9–5, there’s a link above to book a call.

If you’ve got thoughts, questions, or run something differently, drop it in the comments — I read all of them!
