July Activist Update!

Couldn’t make it to our monthly meetings? Want to know what’s been going on with the rest of our sister organizations (Orange County Gun Owners, Riverside County Gun Owners, and San Bernardino County Gun Owners)?

Check out our Activist Update to find out what happened in July!

SDCGO Representing Gun Owners at San Diego City Council

Earlier this week, San Diego City Council passed “Eliminate Non-Serialized Untraceable Firearm (ENUF)” Ordinance outlawing non-serialized, unfinished frames and unfinished receivers, and non-serialized firearms within the City of San Diego. SDCGO CEO Wendy Hauffen was present to make a statement before the Council on behalf of SDCGO.

The vote passed 8-1, with SDCGO Endorsed City Councilmember Chris Cate being the lone “no” vote. Chris stated, “This law does nothing to make us safer, but what this law does do is turn all law abiding citizens in San Diego who own unfinished receivers into criminals overnight.”

Thank you Chris Cate for standing up for our Second Amendment rights.

This ordinance will go before the Council for a second reading, most likely in September. Stay tuned to SDCGO’s announcements to find out when.

SDCGO proudly files Amicus Brief in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen

You may have heard that the US Supreme Court has agreed to hear this case regarding concealed carry. San Diego County Gun Owners, and our sister organizations Orange County Gun Owners and Riverside County Gun Owners, are proud to have an amicus brief in the case!

That means if you’re a member of San Diego County Gun Owners, you’re a part of it too! We cannot do work like this without your support.

Huge thank you to our partners Firearms Policy Coalition for helping make this happen. We strongly encourage you to support them as well.

Lawsuits, Lawsuits, Lawsuits

Lawsuits are an important part of protecting and restoring your Second Amendment rights. SDCGO is doing our part! Under the guidance of our Second Amendment Attorney John Dillon, we have partnered with the national Second Amendment group Firearms Policy Coalition to help us take the battle to the courtroom.

Take a look at the cases in which SDCGO is a Plaintiff:

Nguyen v. Bonta: challenge to California’s 1-in-30 firearm purchase ban

Jones v. Bonta: challenge to 18-20 age-based ban

Miller v. Bonta: challenge to California’s “Assault Weapons” Ban

Renna v. Bonta: challenge to California’s handgun roster

Blog: Will Your Carry Gun Work When You Need It?

Will your carry gun work when you need it? Are you sure? Recently I read an article by Greg Ellifritz on the subject. Ellifritz is a retired law enforcement officer (LEO) and is currently an author and trainer. He trains LEOs and civilians through his Active Response Training School. In addition, he writes regularly, and his website is a great source for firearms and Second Amendment related information.

Gun Prom is ON!

We are excited for you to join us for our Second Amendment Celebration Dinner on Saturday, October 16, 2021! If you previously bought a ticket or table, the great news is that your seat or table is secured for the new date.

Dinner details can be found at www.GunProm.com

We still have room for more tables, so we are continuing to add more. If you or someone you know of anyone who would like to sponsor a table, please check out all the options at www.GunProm.com and know that the “early bird” specials will remain in place until ticket sales end on October 1.

Thank you all so much for your patience. Please contact us with any questions or concerns.

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!
