In Episode 209 of the Transition Drill Podcast, Michael Moulton spent nearly thirty years in law enforcement, rising from patrol officer to the Chief of Police in El Cajon, California. His story is one of dedication, resilience, and leadership, and it resonates with veterans and first responders who understand the weight of service and the uncertainty of transition.Raised in Southern California, Mike grew up with a sense of independence that shaped his path. From riding his bike through a small town to playing football under the watchful eye of a deputy coach, the seeds of service were planted early. When the Rodney King riots unfolded in 1992, he was just graduating high school. That moment pushed him toward criminal justice classes and ultimately into the police academy, where he celebrated his twenty-first birthday.His career was marked by diverse assignments. He worked as a gang detective, took part in narcotics and undercover operations, and served on the SWAT team. Those experiences sharpened his skills and prepared him for leadership. As he promoted through the ranks to sergeant, lieutenant, and captain, Mike discovered the fulfillment of mentoring younger officers and shaping the direction of an organization. By the time he became chief, he was leading through one of the most turbulent eras in American policing.Mike reflects on the challenges of recruitment, the importance of mental health, and the cultural changes in law enforcement. He shares how his department navigated national unrest and how critical it became to protect the wellness of both officers and dispatchers.Now retired, he speaks openly about the transition, the adjustment to life after the badge, and the importance of preparation. His story offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for veterans and first responders seeking to navigate their own next chapter with strength, purpose, and clarity.Don't miss an episode.

California's unconstitutional 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition is devastating gun stores across the state and pricing out law-abiding citizens from their Second Amendment rights. Jake from The Firing Line in Clovis reveals how his business saw an immediate 50-60% drop in sales when the tax took effect, and why this is really a poll tax on constitutional rights. This isn't just about "gun guys and their toys" - it's about fundamental freedoms and equal access to self-defense for all Californians, regardless of income level.

There’s officially a new county supervisor and so there’s a new chair of the board of supervisors and they’re wasting no time making big changes. El Cajon police have stopped responding to calls when a person says they’re going to hurt themselves. They blame lawyers but it’s complicating the response of civilian teams as well, we’ll explain. And we talked about school enrollment plunging across the county but there are a couple schools in particular seeing major surges in enrollment. How two charter schools are racking up their numbers. Plus an update on the water drama. Always fun. SHOW NOTES Segment 1County Supervisors swear in a new Sup and waste no time getting started.

It Will Get Worse.Over the past decade, enrollment at San Diego County public schools has declined by about five percent. That means there are 27,000 fewer students in local schools.

Tate Adamiak, a Navy Master-at-Arms and future SEAL, had his life destroyed when the ATF reclassified common surplus gun parts as illegal and used that to justify a full-blown takedown. No illegal guns. No violent crime. Just a hobbyist, railroaded by a rogue agency pushing a political agenda. Joe LaPorto from the Civil Liberties Policy Research Center joins us to explain what really happened, why this case matters to every law-abiding gun owner in America, and what we can do to fight back. Joe also breaks down how his team is fighting unconstitutional gun permit fees in New Jersey. Both battles reveal just how far government overreach has gone, and what we can do to push back.
