[Quick Nick]

I'd love to help out, I'm in the west San Diego area.

[trashman]

Brandon -- I will be wrapping up a transfer in Turlock this Saturday and would be glad to drop 50 flyers off at my FFL there; I can also hit up High Bridge Arms in San Francisco since I live down the street.

--Neill

[unusedusername]

I live in San Mateo not far from Imbert & Smithers. I can also hit up Jackson Arms and The Gun Vault if needed...

EDIT: I also have access to a laser printer if the flyers are black-and-white and single-sided.

[xxdabroxx]

I work in tulare, so i am there all day mon-thur. I live in porterville and could hit up the local shops.

[ripcurlksm]

wildhawker, I had this same idea... and I will happy to be put on your permanent mailing list for ALL fliers and ALL upcoming legislation to distribute in the Orange County area.

I will be happy to visit these shops on the regular when we have new fliers to distribute.

Iron Sights, Oceanside
On Target, Aliso Viejo
The Firing Line, Huntington Beach
Ades Gunshop, Orange
Fowler Gun Room, Orange
Ammo Bros, Cerritos
Grant Boys, Costa Mesa
RifleGear, Costa Mesa
Bolsa Gunsmithing, Huntington Beach

[SDgarrick]

I live in Chico, there are a handful of FFL and hunting shops around town. I would gladly distribute these fliers you speak of. Contact me for further info.

[HondaMasterTech]

Mail one to everyone in the Governors office including the Governor.

[jdberger]

I'm in. I'm in the East Bay.

[steadyrock]

I split my days between Irvine and East LA, and will be glad to help.

[Cnynrat]

Brandon -

I'm in the Whittier area, and can hit the local Big 5, nearby Wal Marts, Turners in Norwalk, and my local firing range (OC Indoor Range).

If there is any way to get them before Saturday, I'm heading out to our monthly shooting clinic out at Raahauges range in Norco this Sat. I could have some for the people we shoot with, drop some at store out there, and leave some more in the Firearms Training Associates building for their classes.

[racer_X_123]

I live in the Simi valley/Thousand Oaks area. let me know if I could be of help.

[bdsmchs]

Riflegear in Costa Mesa will be stocked up in 5 minutes (They're being printed right now).

[grammaton76]

I have a good rapport with Semper Fi Depot; I'd be happy to try and get them to accept a few. They don't sell guns, but they sell AR uppers and such.

[Kestryll]

Turners Reseda is just down the street from my house.

[steelrain82]

can do the Oxnard area, we have a few places that sell ammo I even take one to Camarillo shooters supply

[8-Ball]

I'm in...

East county San Diego... but I know where there is a gas station, so just put some in my hands and tell me where you want them...

You don't have J&J ARmory and Turners, Orange on your list. If you can't hit those two, have some fliers sent to me and I will hit them the moment I get them.

[ripcurlksm]

Take it Dirt, I actually forgot Turners in Fountain Valley..

[curtisfong]

I love this! Take a stack to your local gun range as well.

I will be bringing a stack next time i go shooting. Hopefully soon, time permitting.

[BigDogatPlay]

I'm in the North SF Bay Area, and on vacation. Be glad to help out.

[wildhawker]

Great response, all!

Quick note: the plan will be to get a box of these flyers into the hands of one Calgunner in each listed area (poss two in high-population areas); from there, they will need to be divvied up among the volunteers and dropped at the businesses. Trying to keep shipping and handling to a minimum- it adds up!

One more request to help with the costs - target is now 50,000 flyers distributed statewide in 7 days. Ask your friends to toss a few tax-deductible bucks CGF's way (http://calgunsfoundation.org/index.php/donate); for less than a nickel a flyer we'll be educating and mobilizing tens of thousands of Californians- it's a small price to pay for killing these bills!

[c good]

Is there any way to post these up on some type of file here. Then we can print some up on our own. I can cover N. San Diego County area. Turner's Escondido, Duncans, Johnson's, Iron Sites, Big 5 Solana Beach, Big 5 O'Side, Wal Mart Vista Way, Wal Mart Marron Rd, Wal Mart Sycamore and any other shops I missed? c good

[wildhawker]

How much longer does Arnold have to veto the bill? Is there enough time for this effort to be practical? Don't get me wrong, what you are doing is great and the right thing. I'm just wondering if it will make a significant impact. I'm asking because I don't know. Not because I'm presuming that it is pointless.

We have 30 days from passage to get a veto. Yes, we have enough time but we need to *move*.

[Black_Talon]

I posted some this morning on the bulletin board at Angeles Shooting Range.

[Timmay]

Shaunini and I are willing to comb the Escondido/Oceanside area. We both live in San Marcos, work on Camp Pendleton so covering that chunk of land will be no sweat. I also have 3 pro 2A friends that are willing to help me out. So in short I got 4 gents and a lady on board with me willing to comb our area.

[vladbutsky]

I can drop some at BayAreaGunVault in Mountain View (Bay Area). I work close by. I think they wouldn't mind helping to defeat these bills.

[Bob A]

Hi,

I used the NRA "one-click" system to email/spam the gov and the Stateist knobs that are pushing this agenda last night.


I am in on your effort to get the word out about this thoroughly half-assed legislation.

From San Jose and with love for my country's constitution,

Bob

EDIT: feel free to post up a soft copy of the flyer. i can print to BW/Color laser here without issue

[radioburning]

I live walking distance the Long Beach/Signal Hill Turner's. I'll gladly to take some flyers over there. I'd print them up and get copies made myself, but I don't have a printer. We've got two Big 5's, and an ammo stocking Walmart I can hit as well.

PMing my info right now...

Also - anyone in these areas, PM me, lets get together and I'll get some flyers to you. Also, if you have ideas as to where these can be distributed, LMK if you can't hit them and I'll make the trip.

I'll hit the gun shops, Wally Worlds, Turners, fishing shops, ship chandlers, fishing charter companies, etc. Any other ideas for distribution sites...post em up. Maybe start a different thread for that?

[p2k]

[jdberger]

Gunbroker has a search feature that you can use to find FFLs (http://www.gunbroker.com/user/DealerNetwork.asp)in your zip code.

It will help ferret out some of the kitchen table dealers who aren't active on the internet.

[Change]

Also in the San Luis Obispo area, let me know what I can do.

[ricochet]

In the email, it said:

The Ammo Ban (AB962) and the Gunshow Ban (SB585) have passed all legislative checks, and are presently on the Governor's desk. If the Governor does nothing, these will become law.

How does a bill become law if the governor does nothing ?

[9mikemike]

I will gladly hand out your flyers here at my shop, get them to me and I will get them out!

[CSGunWorks]

I would like to help!

Mike @ CSGW

[jb7706]

I can see to it that handouts are available at Sacramento Valley Shooting Center (guaranteed, I have some pull there), and I'll ask at Cordova Shooting Center and a couple of other shops near me like the Gun Room, River City Gun Exchange, Just Guns, Badger Johns, Wild Bills. I'll drop by a couple of other shops too and ask a couple of buddies to help out. That's the Sacramento and Elk Grove area.

[B-263-54]

Just donated, thanks for the easy links.

I have a crazy work schedule and I don't want to waste resources by committing to distributing fliers that I can't. But I plan on being at the ISI IDPA (http://www.isishootists.com/) match in Piru this weekend and I'd be happy to bring a bunch there, and I can distribute with some tactical guys I train with. Could also likely hit Martin B. Retting, Inc. (http://www.retting.com/) and LAX Range (http://www.laxrange.com/) by the weekend to see if they'd accept them.

How many fliers are in a box that you would ship?

I'm in the Santa Monica/Culver City/West LA area.

[Ivan]

Will help out. I am in West covina, can go over to tunners . Also can you post a PDF file of the flyer so people can make a few copies themselves? Also I donated to the cause. Not much but some thing to help out!!!

[obeygiant]

Here you go.

Attached is a PDF of the flyer we're printing for distribution to FFLs, vendors and anyone who will let us put some on the counter. I have some stock here in Bay Area, NorCal if anyone can help me get these out; if you're in another location and want to help I will have these run and cut at a Kinkos in your area; all you have to do is pick them up and get them out. Please email me at wildhawker@gmail.com if you can help.

Hat tip to obeygiant et al for their hard work and push to get this into the wild.

I can help out in the Peninsula... I haven't read through all pages so I dont know if Tabors was mentioned, if not I can take them there or anywhere else need on the Peninsula.

Also, if it's not too late I'll have a table at the Vallejo Gun Show on Oct 17th and 18th... I'll be more than happy to pass them out there and leave them on my table as well.

[bld0121]

I'm in Sacramento, don't have time this evening to read all 8 pages sofar. I could run by a few places if needed. Has anyone hit up Wild Sports in Orangevale, Badger John's on Madison, and Sportsmans Warehouse in Rocklin? Those are big, and there's a few other smaller places I can think of.
Email me if I can help, bld0121@hotmail.com.

[jmlivingston]

You don't have J&J ARmory and Turners, Orange on your list. If you can't hit those two, have some fliers sent to me and I will hit them the moment I get them.

Also missing Elite Firearms and Saddleback Valley Guns - both off of I-5 at Crown Valley Parkway. Another one not on the list is the new shop in Santa Ana called T&A Armory, as well as OC Armory in Lake Forest.

T&A is the only one of these others that I could hit. Let me know if you need me to hit that one up for you, it's not too far from where I work.

John

[NMCI compnerd]

I will do Temecula and surrounding. If you can get the flyers to me I will try to get them out tomorrow.

[nrakid88]

I live in santa clarita. I could drop off the fliers at Oak Tree Gun Club, as well as Big5, however I dont know how receptive either store woulod be in passing them out, also there are three wal marts up here as well that are always out of ammo so you know buyers are there.

[Doctor Suarez]

Don't know when I'll be free soon, as I'm getting crushed by a project deadline, but I'm in the East San Fernando Valley (Sherman Oaks) and would like to help if the time becomes available.

[MasterYong]

I'd love to distribute flyers, but my area is not listed in the OP.

You do realize there are around 150,000 people in Humboldt County? ;)

It's not LA, but it's something, and there are a heck of a lot of gun owners out here. I was at the range on Sunday, and there were a lot of folks that had never heard of these bills. Others thought AB962 banned all ammo sales in CA. Education is sorely needed here- I'll go to the local FFLs to hand them out. In the meantime I'll print some up from the .pdf myself.

:thumbsup:

[addictedsince1990]

I am currently laid off and have nothing to do but pass out these fliers. It showed none are needed here in San Jose, but the more people we get on this the better. I also work part time as an RSO at a gun range and I could pass these out to hundreds of gun owners over the weekend. PLEASE contact me!!!

[Jarrod]

I live in the south riverside/corona area. How can I get flyers?

[xxdabroxx]

WH, i believe you have my contact info from earlier, if not shoot me an email at dbrownson at taeinc.com or if its after thursday at 4:00, xxdabroxx at gmail.com

I will also look in the phone book to see what we have for ammo sellers throughout the county. Booneville, Willits, covelo, Fort Bragg

Is there a website that lists all FFL and ammo dealers? It would be easier to find all the hardware stores and liquer stores that sell ammo up here.

Im going to PM you my mailing address; I have two other Calgunners who want to help cover Orange County.

You can put me down for a back up in San Luis Obispo County. I'm eager to help, so don't hesitate to throw me a bone.

Brandon, I talked to Futurecollector and he said he would cover the high desert, but he can't PM you right now. You can reach him on BFN until his timeout expires.

Looks like we got Torrance and RPV covered thanks to soundwave

Hey OG. I live in Redondo Beach and can cover Torrance and RPV easily.

Standing by for instructions.

[wildhawker]

Awesome job stepping up everyone- looks like we still need help in Bakersfield and a couple other locatons. Any ideas on who we can contact around there?

Isn't Wes @ Ten Percent in the Palmdale/Lancaster area?

[wildhawker]

Wes's shop is in Taft I believe.

[obeygiant]

Fjold is near bakersfield is he not? I think Palindari is as well.

[NMCI compnerd]

If you can have them printed at the Kinkos in Temecula, I can pick them up there if that is a cheaper option than shipping a box. Might also speed the distribution.

Ditto for the Kinko's in Foothill Ranch (closest to my house). Just let me know when they are ready. I had a phone call with another calgunner today who wants to help with distribution in the south OC area, he and I will hook up and split the load once the flyers are ready.

[High_Side16]

I'm in the East Bay and frequent J&R and Dom's in Livermore. If you post a PDF of the flyer, I will be happy to print the flyers and hand them out.

Ok, thanks for the .pdf, printing it today and starting distribution. Also linked to this thread from our forum and blog, hopefully that'll generate some other interest. I'll burn off enough to get started, but if I can coordinate picking up a hundred or so from the POD for San Diego North, that'd be good too.

[obeygiant]

Did 8-ball finish up those fliers?

Made copies and dropped one off to the following:

Gunrunners- Duarte

Guys, Kinkos pricing will make you fall out of your chair unless it's basic. I suggest you take the PDF and print that B&W 1-sided if you want to get started early.

We're working on a run of 60,000 flyers right now. As soon as I figure out how to attach a 11MB PDF here I'll put it up.

Hi Wildhawker.

I can definitely help out in the Torrance/RPV area.

I will await your "go ahead" and instructions.

[wildhawker]

I'll keep everyone updated as soon as we have the final pieces in place for distribution; in the meantime, if you're on the front page and serving as a delivery point please update this spreadsheet (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AjuDXQ308KnodHFERHNSQjFmdDFoS1FrU19XdHdpa lE&hl=en) w/ your info so I can have it ready to go as soon as the flyers are boxed.

Thanks,

Just to keep everyone's blood pumpin'....

Working on a production run of 75,000 gloss color flyers. We have ~50 distribution points from San Diego to Redding and everywhere in between.

This community kicks ***.

Arnie, here we come... :43:

[steadyrock]

jbsocal called me today and graciously offered to help distribute in deep South OC, we could use some additional help there and particularly in Western OC (Huntington/Westminster/Fountain Valley areas). Is there anyone else in OC able to help out in those areas?

[bubbapug1]

To: Cabela's California Customers
From: Cabela's Communications
Subject: California Assembly Bill 962
Date: Sept. 22, 2009

We are writing to inform you of pending legislation that will restrict purchases of handgun ammunition in California and will terminate our ability to service your needs for certain products.

On Friday, Sept. 11, the California Assembly passed Assembly Bill 962, by a 44-31 vote.

Among other regulations, AB 962 would:


• Ban all mail-order and Internet sales of handgun ammunition.
• Prohibit the retail sale, the offer for sale or the display of handgun ammunition in a
manner that allows ammunition to be accessible to a purchaser without assistance of a
vendor or employee.
• Require that the delivery or transfer of ownership of handgun ammunition occur in a
face-to-face transaction, with the deliverer or transferor being provided bona fide
evidence of identity of the purchaser or other transferee.


That evidence of identity, which must be legibly recorded at the time of delivery, includes:


• The right thumbprint of the purchaser or transferee.
• The date of the sale or other transaction.
• The purchaser's or transferee's driver's license or other identification number and the
state in which it was issued.
• The brand, type and amount of ammunition sold or otherwise transferred.
• The purchaser's or transferee's signature.
• The name of the salesperson who processed the sale or other transaction.
• The purchaser's or transferee's full residential address and telephone number.
• The purchaser's or transferee's date of birth.


The bill is on the desk of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, where it awaits his consideration. He will have until Oct. 11 to sign or veto the bill. If he does not veto the bill, it will become law.

If you wish to comment on AB 962, you may contact Gov. Schwarzenegger by phone at (916) 445-2841, or via fax at (916) 558-3160. To e-mail Gov. Schwarzenegger, visit
http://gov.ca.gov/interact

We encourage all Cabela's customers who participate in the shooting sports to contact Gov. Schwarzenegger to voice their opposition to this initiative, which will limit your opportunities to shop with Cabela's, and will restrict the sale of handgun ammunition everywhere in California.

[wildhawker]

We need to be calling/emailing all the manufacturers and internet dealers who have a stake in this, they need to be sending out mass emails to their customers like Cabela's has; for example:

*ATK
*Winchester
*Remington
*CTD
*ATG
*Able
*SG
*Midway
*Ammoman

Let's get these guys the 1-sided flyer PDF ASAP.

[n2k]

Just got that too.

[jdberger]

I was also thinking:

Gun Magazines (just might make it in time for press)
Shotgun News
Copes
Natchez
Mid South
Optics Planet
SWFA
Manufacturers like:
Noveske
MSTN
LaRue (remember his big donation)
PRI
JP
CMMG
Stag
Del Ton
Model One Sales
GG&G

Custom Gunsmiths like:
Heritage
CT Brian
MichiGuns, etc.

Holster makers

Sellers of fishing supplies, etc.

Gun Blogs like "View from the porch" "Snowflakes in Hell" etc.

It's not important that the person making the call live in CA. Only that they call.

Can someone craft a nice short letter? I'm sorry, I'm totally buried and have to get my billing in.

[obeygiant]

Here's most of the contact information for those companies.

We need to be calling/emailing all the manufacturers and internet dealers who have a stake in this, they need to be sending out mass emails to their customers like Cabela's has; for example:

Flyer faxed to J & G Sales in Phoenix w/cover

URGENT MATTER REGARDING PENDING CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATION THAT WILL AFFECT YOUR BUSINESS

My name is Michael Auria. I’d like to get the attached Calgun supported flyer in the hands of someone who can get this distributed to your California customers. If this is a duplicate effort, please recycle this message and thank you for your time and consideration.
The attached flyer refers to 2 bills which have reached California Governor Schwarzenegger’s desk. While both bills will have a widespread negative impact, I call your attention to AB962 which will ban Internet/Mail Order Ammo sales for California residents.
Please encourage your California customer’s to follow the instructions in the flyer to make their voice heard and get this message to as many fellow shooters as possible.

Please contact me for additional information on this issue.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

[LesGrossman41510]

Heh, you ain't joking. Kinko's prices are brutal...0.49/sheet for color....

I burned off a few hundred this morning - dropped off at Fish Mart in Vista has some BW + full color flyer in front window, Turner's San Marcos store has a hundred BW + full color for counters and A-frame in front of store. Tomorrow I'll visit Precision Arms and others.....

Was able to stop by OC Indoor Range (http://www.ocindoorrange.com/index.upfl) in Brea on my way home from work and spoke with John,the GM, and James both were very friendly.

They already had a flyer typed up by another customer but said they would be happy to take a stack and had me put them up on their announcement area.

[8-Ball]

Nice work 8-ball!

Thanks... it was a collaborative effort with Brandon...

It is designed to be printed on glossy paper which causes the print and screen version to look muted. It looks a bit dead on regular copy paper too.

If we need a screen version for anything, let me know and I can richen up a separate copy.

I'm ready for further orders...

[ricochet]

[steadyrock]

Okay capntroy, I'll get in touch with you as soon as I get the flyers. Do me a favor and send me a PM so I'm sure not to forget. Thanks for your help!

I printed off 100 copies of the 2-fold flyer today and dropped them by the Walmart in Pico rivera on Washington. At first I was told "no" by the guy at the ammo counter, but eventually I found my way to the store manager and she took them and promised to put them on the counter. I'll stop back by and see if she actually did...here's hoping.

Was anyone else able to successfully place flyers today? I'm curious as to the success you've been having at the big box retailers, esp. Walmart and Big 5.

[obeygiant]

If anyone is looking for ideas on other places to distribute the fliers here is a list of Shooting Ranges compiled by Redhorse.

FINAL PDF IS HERE! http://benjamincannon.net/gun/CGab962sb585%20FINAL.pdf

75 flyers printed and on the counter at Turner's Reseda.

This is becoming known, when I walked in and said i wanted to put some flyers on the counter the manager asked 'What are they for?'
I started to answer as I pulled them out but before I could he saw them and said 'Yes, those!'
Very cool!

[NovaTodd]

I ran 150 of the single sided and will drop off at Bright Spot in the morning, with a note to Chris and Dan, on the way to work. I just didn't make it there tonight.
I'll see if I can make some more copies and get them to the Riverside Big 5's and Centerfire.

[wildhawker]

Mike's being modest- his creative talents made this a viable project and kept things headed in the right direction. I highly recommend anyone needing design work contact Mike for a fantastic eye for both aesthetic and practical concepts!

Thanks... it was a collaborative effort with Brandon...

[NovaTodd]

I live in the south riverside/corona area. How can I get flyers?

Download them from the link above.

Hit up Annie's get your gun, Turners-Corona, & Big 5 Corona. I don't know about any others out that way.


Does anybody go near Rauhagges? I can go out there over the weekend, but maybe someone can get there sooner?

How about Prado?

[NovaTodd]

Added my name to the spreadsheet. I'll run copies in small batches and distribute as I can. That way, Calguns can save the money on the fliers and shipping.


Has anyone got Bass Pro Shops in Cucamonga covered? That place would be an absolute nightmare if the ammo was behind the counter...

[wildhawker]

Thanks for the effort guys and gals! Just so you know, we're committed to 75k copies so don't be shy about using them.

[cbn620]

Just checked out the updated PDF. It's two pages, so what's the best way to go about this using a home printing setup? I don't assume you want us to glue them together...

It’s unfortunate, but ideas that gain traction in California often gain traction in other parts of the country. It’s time to end this now.I like; motivational

[Cnynrat]

Download them from the link above.

Hit up Annie's get your gun, Turners-Corona, & Big 5 Corona. I don't know about any others out that way.


Does anybody go near Rauhagges? I can go out there over the weekend, but maybe someone can get there sooner?

How about Prado?

I will be at Raahaugges Saturday and plan to bring flyers.

[Mickey]

I cover the Bakersfield area and would be glad to help.

For easier distribution artherd has added the AB962_SB585 Flier to his site for us to download. This version ,<1mb ,should make it significantly easier to email to friends, family,co-workers, ffl's etc.

You can find it Here (http://benjamincannon.net/gun/CGab962sb585%2520FINAL-Optimized.pdf)

Will these flyers also be handed out at the Cal expo gunshow through the calguns table?

[wildhawker]

Just received word that On-Target Range in OC has been handing out a flyer to *EVERY* customer - hat's off to On-Target! :thumbsup:

[Electricboy]

what about humbolt and lake counties?

[8-Ball]

Here is a screen version of the flyer that can be emailed to friends, relatives, neighbors, etc. It can also be used on a web page. Use the pdf in post #1 for printing purposes.

Brandon, it might be good to put a copy in the opening post so that it does not get lost.

I think Calgunner Braskin was heading up the SLO area when the flyers go out; you two should connect and plan the distribution. :chris:

anyone else in Orange County who wants to be involved, please pm me.

anyone with intimate knowledge of all orange county shops, please pm me.

I delivered the fliers I printed last night. The small gunshops and bait stores had no problems with putting the fliers out. Second Amendment Sports, and Big 5 said that they would have to get the managers approval, so I left fliers but I don't know if they will be put out or not. A gentlman looking at rifles at big 5 asked for a flier, and said he would post it at work, which was great.
Walmart said I would have to talk to the Manager. I talked to the manager and she said that call was beyond her authority. She called someone and talked to them, they told her that I would have to talk to Walmart Corporate Offices which is 1 800 wal-mart. I didn't call them.
Anyone else have that problem? If so, did you contact them and what are the details?

[NovaTodd]

Flyers are at Bright Spot in Riverside and Ammo Bros - Ontario.
I'm off to the local Big 5's as it's too late to get to Centerfire...

I'm going to update my name in the spreadsheet as it didn't seem to save last night.

[markgrubb]

I just signed up for Lancaster/Palmdale (and Roasamond and Edwards and Tehachapi :) on the spreadsheet.

[obeygiant]

Stopped off at Big5 in Brea and talked with Brian,IIRC, and explained what was going on with the 2 bills. He said he'd be happy to give them out to his ammo/gun customers and took them over to the gun counter.

Brandon,

That’s great news.

FYI, if you are shipping today for Saturday delivery, they will not be in my hands till Monday.

Also, I pm’d you that I will be out of town till then starting in a few hours.

If we need a secondary contact for my area, can you add it to your list.

If not they will all be distributed Monday when I return.

[obeygiant]

good news as I'm out of the ones I printed.

[SeanCasey]

Yesterday I dropped of some flyers at Ammo Bros in Cerritos (I needed a few boxes of 7.62x39 for Saturday). Hopefully those last them until they get more from the official run. The remainder of what I have I am bringing with me to the Shoot 'N Q on Saturday.

You guys are moving way too fast :thumbsup: for me right now :(, but I'd better help out too. I'm in Pasadena, which is more or less your area, so I'll be PMing you about anything left uncovered.

I also expect to make a trip down to Rancho Santa Margarita today or tomorrow to drop our dog off for a little date (puppies!). Possibly I could swing by anyone way out there that hasn't been covered.

Turners just sent out a mass email to get people to oppse AB962!! GO TURNERS!

Every day I'm just more and more impressed with the turn-around that company is making. I love the new owners!

Maybe that point should be emphasized, given how much of a beating Turners usually takes here. Make sure they know there is a carrot for doing Right and not just a stick when someone has to wait two hours for a PPT.

RSM & surrounding areas will be well covered once the fliers arrive at my house tomorrow. :thumbsup:

[7x57]

Hmm. I don't think I've heard any mention of Burro Canyon (which, come to think of it, is probably still closed b/c of the fires), LA gun club, or InSight.

I might will be able to hit some areas of San Bernadino/Riverside. Mostly places on the west side, Cold War Shooters is about as far east as I can usually get, maybe Grand Terrace to the south, and Devore to the north. If you can get someone to hit the areas east of the 215, that would help me a bunch. Not sure how much that will help, but I already have the I.E. west side pretty much covered as soon as my flyers arrive.

[wildhawker]

Perfect! You are programmed for 2,000 but more are avail at the shoot-n-que; I planned on ~6,000 flyers ttl for Temecula, SB/Riv, Rancho Cuc/Ontario/Pomona areas. We have NMCI compnerd, jaymz and NovaTodd in this region working as distribution.

Brandon -awesome news about the flyers! We'll be blanketing the state soon...

I may have missed mention of it, but are there any plans to have gobs of these flyers ready for the Del Mar gunshow next weekend. Not only at the CalGuns booth, but enough to give to the retailers to put on their tables also...

[NovaTodd]

I've gotten much of Riverside already. Both Big 5's (don't know if they actually put the flyers out as they had to "ask the manager and district rep.", Bright Spot pawn and Ammo Bros in Ontario and Turners in San Bernardino. At least so far. I haven't been able to get to Centerfire Arms as I've gotten home too late to get there.
Someone needs to cover Bass Pro Shops in Rancho Cucamonga.
Someone on here was asking about Southern Riverside and Corona - which I haven't gotten to.
Glad I can help.

[wildhawker]

Maybe Calgunners need to educate these folks...

BIG5 on North Tustin, Orange, manager says HE LIKES THUMBPRINTING and almost threw me out of the store.

Found out from guys at Evans that one of their Certified (by THE GOV) Trainers (2 time Iraqi vet) was DROS'ed for an AIRSOFT gun.

I don't know if this is an isolated case, but BIG5 seems GUN UNFRIENDLY.

I explained to everyone I stopped at that I'm new to this, and just wanted permission to drop off flyers.

Was really surprised by this.

[NovaTodd]

Spreadsheet updated.
