Earlier this week, we released our two-minute video “Open Letter to Nathan Fletcher” along with our press release titled: “San Diego Gun Owners PAC releases 2-minute video critical of County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher; PAC officials say Sup. Fletcher too wrong, too often.”

The video has gotten over 3,000 views in just a few days, and was even shared directly on KUSI!

Did you miss it? You can watch it here!

Remember Freedom Week? We were able to purchase standard capacity magazines for a week? Well we just experienced Freedom 8 hours or so. It’s legal, it’s confusing and it’s frustrating.

SDCGO’s Special Counsel John Dillon was on KUSI this week to talk about it.

Our April meeting on Facebook Live was so much fun, so for the month of May, we’re doing it again!

Our monthly meetings for San Diego County Gun Owners and our three sister organizations will be on Facebook Live!

To participate, all you have to do is go to one of the PAC’s Facebook pages and you can watch the webinar. Not following us on Facebook yet?

On Monday, May 4th, we will resume normal activities (for the most part).

This message is to announce that SDCGO, OCGO, RCGO, and SBCGO will take a huge step forward towards normal activities.  Starting at the end of March, we have all had our lives changed and in many cases severely uprooted.  Our staff and volunteers have had to make adjustments in our personal lives and our work for fighting to restore and protect the Second Amendment has turned into a 24/7 hurry-up-and-wait.  All events have been cancelled.  Many activities have been put on hold.  We have had to take a defensive posture when we are normally marching forward.

I am proud of what we have done over the last weeks and the way we have responded as organizations.  We made a positive difference.

What this means:

We will get back to as close as a normal schedule as the law will allow.  Gun rights are a 24/7 fight and inconsistent hours comes with the territory, but it is even more so when we don’t know what to expect.  Our staff and volunteers are going back to normally scheduled meetings and conference calls.  We are working towards setting up a calendar of activities, meetings, and seminars.  Projects that had to be put on the back-burners will be moved back to the front-and-center for completion (membership card app, questions for Sheriff Bianco, resources for new gun owners, Board expansions, etc).  There is an election in November and we need to get back to focusing on the best candidates who deserve our support.

Below is the schedule for all 4 PACs for May.  We don’t anticipate that California’s COVID-19 regulations to change enough in May for us to have in-person meetings. We are penciling in regularly scheduled, normal, in-person meetings for June, but we will confirm that by June 1st.

Check out our May calendar here.

We’ve shared a LOT of really important information in the last few weeks. If you want to catch up on our weekly emails, check out all of our weekly emails and media appearances here!
