Just for new gun owners! #WhatTheGun
Win a Gun by Having Fun!
It's time to step up your volunteer game!
Not only is volunteering a great way to give back to San Diego County Gun Owners and the Second Amendment community in general, it's super easy and fun. You spend a few hours at your local gun shop (admit it, you do that anyway!) and talk to people about how important it is to fight for your gun rights, and how SDCGO is accomplishing that.
Plus... we have an exciting new incentive program starting in 2021! Every shift for which you volunteer and work will earn you an entry into our quarterly drawing for A GUN!
Sign up for shifts today on our volunteer page. Check back often as we continue to add more dates.
Congratulations to our Endorsed Candidates!
Now that all of the votes have been counted, congratulations on your victory, from all the members of SDCGO to our endorsed candidates!
We are proud to say we supported your campaign.

Attention! Important CCW Info!
Help us get this information out.
Renewals (COVID changes):
Submit your renewal application on Permitium 90 days prior to your expiration.
Submit your renewal application BEFORE or AFTER you take your 4-hour Safety Refresher Class. If you have not taken your class, upload a blank sheet of paper to Permitium and submit your 4-hour class certification after you have competed it. The certification is good for 90 days.
Once you have submitted your renewal application, you are placed in a queue for an appointment and the Sheriff's Department will call you to schedule a day and time for you to come into the office.
Renewals are seen by appointment only. (No walk-ins)
Initial Application (COVID changes):
If you have not applied for your California CCW, start by checking out our instructional video explaining how here: www.SDCGO.org/CCW
If you are currently in the Application Process. If you have started the process of getting your CCW, confirm that you have an appointment by emailing CCW@SDSheriff.org
THE DATE THEY GIVE YOU IS NOT THE DATE OF YOUR APPOINTMENT!!! The date they give you on Permitium will be close to a year away. It is a placeholder for your spot in line. They will contact you later to move your appointment date.
Expect these changes to be in effect until after the COVID-19 situation comes to some kind of resolution.
8th Annual Front Sight Charity Shoot! Plus, Amazing Membership Offer!
Every year we promote this charity shoot and we hope you will all join us! It is a very cool opportunity to get a bunch of Californians to meet at Front Sight for 4 days to shoot together.
Yes, the event raises money to fight leukemia/lymphoma, and that is important. But the real value is the fun, the training, and the camaraderie! There is nothing like being on a range with 200+ fellow Californians!
This is a very inexpensive adventure - only $250! Normally, $200 is for the class, and $50 is a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, but one of our members has stepped up to make this deal even sweeter for you. For the first 100 people who sign up, donate your entire $250 to the charity, and she will GIVE YOU a Commander Level membership to Front Sight!
If you're already a Front Sight member, your class is covered, and you can still participate in this amazing event for just $50.
The event will be held March 5-8, 2021, and registration will open on January 1, 2021.
For more info, CLICK HERE, or contact us with any questions.
Blog: CCW Lifestyle Series # 12 – Situational Awareness and Color Codes
Choosing the concealed carry lifestyle involves a reasonably challenging learning curve, at least to be done correctly it does. Buying the gun and getting the permit are the easy parts. Most instructors would agree that your firearm is your last resort and your time is much better spent learning how to avoid situations where using your firearm is your only option. Two concepts you should learn to keep yourself safe are situational awareness and color codes.
If you're a new shooter who is interested in an informal shooting experience, our Shooting Socials are a great way to dip your toe in the water!
For just $50/person, we can give you a safe, fun, safe, and educational first-time shooting experience. You will get:
1. One-on-one mentoring with an experienced volunteer 2. Safety briefing in a classroom 3. 2 Hours of range rental 4. Gun(s) to learn with 5. 50 rounds of ammunition 6. Paper target(s) 7. Eye protection 8. Ear protection
We have openings at the following events:
March 13 at 8am
The Gun Range San Diego, 7853 Balboa Ave., San Diego, CA
April 10 at 8am
The Gun Range San Diego, 7853 Balboa Ave., San Diego, CA
