Message from Permitium Management
Permitium has recently been informed of a nationwide scam that has been targeting citizens with CCW permits. Those targeted by this scam have received text messages alerting them that their permit needs to be renewed or changed and offers a link to provide the user’s information. This link is malicious and has NOT been generated by Permitium or your local agency Permit Director Software. NO TEXT MESSAGES FROM PERMITIUM CONTAIN LINKS.
If you field calls from your community, and they feel that they have been targeted or if they have already experienced malicious intent due to this text message, please have them report the scam to https://www.usa.gov/stop-scams-frauds . We have confirmed that the text messages are being sent randomly from phone numbers to people across the entire nation.
As always, our goal at Permitium is to be as proactive as possible when it comes to protecting the rights and personal information of our mutual customers. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Warm Regards,
Permitium Management
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.
8th Annual Front Sight Charity Shoot!
Registration is OPEN!
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! 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 is now OPEN!
For more info, CLICK HERE, or contact us with any questions.
