Welcome to the San Diego County Gun Owners (SDCGO) new blog page. The purpose of this page is to promote discussion of issues that are of interest to gun owners not only in San Diego County but also throughout California and across America. This page will offer posts written by SDCGO Board members as well […]
It appears we’ve reached a point in our country where citizens have to fight endlessly to protect basic rights guaranteed by the Constitution. That seems to be the case regarding firearms and the Second Amendment. We can no longer depend on our political leaders to do the right thing and the fight has been reduced […]
Recently, within days of each other, there were shootings at two different Walmarts, and once again, the most common question is “what do we do?” Some ask the question out of a sincere interest in improving society, while others are latching onto a tragedy to advance their existing agenda. Tragically, victims lost their lives and […]
So here we go again. A mentally ill/criminal/evil (pick one) person uses a gun to murder a number of innocent people. We recently had two in a weekend, one in El Paso, Texas and one in Dayton, Ohio. The response by the left and the gun control crazies is always the same and is detached […]
Tuesday, July 30th the San Diego City Council voted to require all gun owners within the city limits to keep their guns locked or inoperable while in the home. The vote was 7 to 2 with Chris Cate and Scott Sherman in opposition. The penalty for violating this new, overreaching law? A fine and possibly […]
In San Diego, citizens have recently regained the right to carry concealed weapons (CCW). This is due largely to the efforts of Michael Schwartz and the San Diego County Gun Owners PAC (SDCGO). For the first time in decades, citizens in San Diego now enjoy the same rights available to other Americans. Recently a local […]
Many people new to concealed carry wonder what happens if someone sees their gun. We all remember how it was when we first adopted the carry lifestyle. Constantly worried about printing, frequently checking to make sure the gun is there, adjusting clothing and that feeling that everyone knows. With time all of that goes away. […]
The following was written by Michael Schwartz, Executive Director of San Diego County Gun Owners PAC (SDCGO). This week, on Monday, July 15th, the San Diego City Council voted 6 to 2 to approve a law forcing all residents of the city to keep all their firearms disabled or locked when inside your home unless […]
The public demonization of guns and gun owners is not something new and has, in fact, been going on for at least the last fifty years. Companies like Dick’s Sporting Goods and Levi Strauss are two recent examples. The media and the entertainment industry have also supported this effort. This effort has yielded a fair […]
This week we have something for the women in our firearms community. The following is an interview with my friend Judi Wells of the San Diego chapter of A Girl & A Gun. What is A Girl & A Gun? A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League (AGAG) is a shooting club established by […]
It’s July and California’s unconstitutional new ammo laws are in effect. If you’ve recently moved to California from Free America and you’re not familiar with these laws you can get caught up here. In anticipation of the new rules for purchasing ammunition, many serious gun owners have been stocking up on ammunition. One plan is […]
A Virginia Beach city employee murdered twelve of his coworkers in a municipal building on Friday May 31st, 2019. One of those murdered, 42-year-old Kate Nixon, considered taking a gun to work that morning out of concern for her safety. That concern was due, in part, to a coworker that turned out to be the […]
I began thinking about this subject after watching an Active Self Protection video where pepper spray would have been an appropriate choice had it been available. As someone that carries everyday, I don’t currently include a non-lethal option along with my firearm. I’m now reconsidering. I asked the question on the Concealed Carry FB page […]
