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 […]
We’ve all had this experience. You’re in bed, asleep or almost so when you hear a sound. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. It is the season. The first question is probably “did I really hear that?”. So, you wait […]
On Friday the jury returned a verdict of not guilty on all charges for Kyle Rittenhouse. This is a wonderful result and marks the end of the first part of a nightmare that for Rittenhouse, will likely go on for some time. Unfortunately, this event also marks a continuing nightmare for America that will also […]
The Kyle Rittenhouse trial began last week. For those who aren’t familiar with the case, Rittenhouse was a 17-year-old who was attacked by rioters (aka mostly peaceful protesters) in Kenosha, Wisconsin in the summer of 2020. Rittenhouse shot and killed two of his attackers and wounded a third. What was clearly a self-defense incident resulted […]
First let’s get the obligatory disclaimers out of the way. I am not being indifferent to the tragedy and suffering of those involved including Alec Baldwin. My intent is not to explain exactly what happened or who is to blame as I wasn’t there and have no more facts than anyone else. My purpose in […]
Constitutional Carry, the ability to carry concealed without obtaining the states permission, is sweeping the country. At present there are 21 Constitutional Carry states. Legislatures in several other states are currently considering the idea. Last week I wrote an article on Constitutional Carry and we were discussing the article on the radio show. I mentioned […]
Americans continue to embrace the concealed carry lifestyle. All indications are that we are currently living in the golden age of concealed carry. It’s difficult for those of us in the handful of oppressive states to see this sometimes but it is nevertheless true. Americans are living in the golden age of concealed carry. Dr […]
Sometimes it seems like there’s not much good news in our Second Amendment (2A) community. That seems even more so living in California where our 2A rights are routinely oppressed and abused. But that’s not an accurate view. In fact, the gun culture and community are alive and well and growing in America. Gun sales […]
The witch is dead! President Biden has withdrawn David Chipman as his nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). After a protracted nomination process, the votes simply were not there to confirm Chipman. Defeating this nomination was a huge win for all Americans. ATF is a highly politicized agency and […]
The US Department of State has banned the importation of ammunition from Russia beginning on 7 September 2021. The ban will be in effect for at least twelve months. The ban can be lifted at any time after the twelve-month period at the discretion of the Executive Branch. To lift the ban the Executive Branch […]
This is a guest post by Alex Dovgalevsky, Director of Guns N’ Moses, a Jewish Shooting Club. On Sunday, after our club’s 13th shooting social with SDCGO, I took the time to reflect on what happened over the past year. The full experience will be hard to describe in just a few paragraphs, but if […]
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was once an agency that the American people trusted without question. I personally have always held that opinion and trusted the CDC as having the last word on public health issues. Events of the last 18 months have drastically changed my view and, I suspect, the same […]
Guns and Ammo magazine recently published their annual ranking of the best and worst states for gun owners. The magazine has been publishing the annual study since 2013. For those of us immersed in the firearms community the rankings are not surprising. Nevertheless, there is some interesting information in the article. For those without access […]
