Given our current ammo shortage, I’ve developed the practice of buying what I can buy when I can buy it. I’ve discovered a store that regularly has ammo at prices that are only as inflated as need be. Visiting the store the day ammo arrives has become a weekly ritual and I see the same […]
California is one of the most beautiful states in the country and those of us living here should feel blessed with our good fortune. Notice I said should. California unfortunately is cursed with one of the worst governments in America. The current government policies are unsustainable, and the state is gradually being destroyed. For a […]
Sometimes being a Second Amendment (2A) advocate in California can be discouraging. The seemingly endless string of new gun control laws, disinformation, and ever increasing infringement upon basic rights can, at times, make staying positive a challenge. Occasionally we forget that the 2A is alive and well throughout most of Free America and its only […]
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 […]
Most knowledgeable people (e.g. people who pay attention) understand that gun control laws don’t increase public safety or reduce crime. That’s not the intent of people that create them. Gun control is used primarily for political power and control. The end game is to completely disarm the American people. You can fill in for what […]
This week I’d like to recognize the 50thanniversary (sort of) of the SDCGO Blog page. We have now published 50 blog articles on the site. Yea! The intent of the blog page is to inspire people to think about issues of interest to the general gun owning community, and by so doing, to expand knowledge […]
For as far back as most people can remember, San Diego County has effectively had a “no issue” policy regarding concealed carry permits (CCW) for law-abiding citizens. Up until the end of 2017 there were approximately 1500 CCW permits in the county. To put things in perspective, there are almost 17 million CCW permit holders […]
As we begin to regain our right to self-protection in San Diego County, the subject of proper mindset for a CCW holder is worth examining. A recent post in Facebook addressed a shooting incident at a Southern California mall. The incident was a case of domestic violence that unfortunately played out in public and resulted […]
Recently I watched a short video of Sheriff Bill Gore speaking to the Latino American Political Association (LAPA) here in San Diego. The part of the talk captured on the video concerns Sheriff Gore discussing his CCW policy. Sheriff Gore makes a number of misleading statements in the video. You can view the video and […]
