Did You Know…?

NotMeSD was created for women, by women

NotMeSD is SDCGO’s initiative to stop sexual assault and domestic violence by empowering women with the knowledge and the tools to protect themselves. Are you a woman, or do you know a woman, who wants some help learning how to purchase a firearm? How to find the right training? Or how to apply for your CCW? Click here today to find out more!

NotMeSD Welcomes Desiree Bergman to the Team!

SDCGO is proud to welcome Desiree Bergman to the NotMeSD team! She is joining us as a Project Manager alongside Wendy Hauffen for some much needed help in volunteer coordination and case management.

Since the launch of the #NotMeSD program just over a year ago, more than 200 women have registered for the program to get assistance with learning how to purchase a firearm, finding the right training, and applying for their CCW.

MONEY BOMB WEEKEND!

Celebrate Independence Day this weekend by showering our endorsed candidates with support! THE most effective way to fight for your Second Amendment rights is to get the RIGHT candidates elected to office.

SDCGO works hard preparing for every election by thoroughly vetting candidates – we sit down with them to talk about their Second Amendment stances, we review their voting record, and we review any public statements they have made about the Second Amendment.

We are proud to endorse the following candidates and hope that you will show them how much SDCGO members want them in office! Whether it’s $100, $20, or $1…. it’s MONEY BOMB time!

Joel Anderson for San Diego County Supervisor, District 2

Kristen Gaspar for San Diego County Supervisor, District 3

Richard Bailey for Coronado Mayor

John Minto for Santee Mayor

Joe Leventhal for San Diego City Council, District 5

Noli Zosa for San Diego City Council, District 7

Laura Koval for Santee City Council, District 3

Dustin Trotter for Santee City Council, District 4

Amanda Rigby for Vista City Council, District 3

Blog: Where Does It End?

By now most of you have seen the video and heard the story of the armed couple defending their home and themselves from a mob of violent “protesters”. I say violent as my definition of “peaceful protesters” doesn’t include destroying an iron gate and storming onto private property. It also doesn’t include refusing to leave when asked or screaming threats and obscenities at the property owners.
