So Cal Guns coming back?

[whipkiller]

I was just looking at a list of New Business Licenses applied for in San Diego, and saw one for Southern California Gun on Convoy with a Start Date of 4/20/13.

Anyone know anything about this?

Last I heard they were shut down. I remember seeing 5-6 LEO coming out with boxes of documents.

Yeah they were, and the space has remained empty.

This appears to be a NEW license.

[shooperman]

I would be all for it. They always had a nice used/consignment section.

Why were they shutdown?

What new legislation?

So I'm driving by today, and saw a So Cal Guns banner hanging outside the old store.

I hereby predict they are coming back in some form.

[Corbin Dallas]

There is a banner hanging outside the old store saying it was coming back.

We shall see

Why were they shutdown?

from what I heard, they did their background stuff manually (written) and not by computer. something ended up slipping through the cracks and someone got a firearm that shouldn't have and they got caught up. basically had no chance of fighting it and just closed shop.

Just drove by their store and low and behold there was a banner up saying they're coming back soon.

Saw the banner also; anyone know if the orignal owner sold the rights to the name or what?

[BucDan]

Hopefully the relaunched store isn't a disappointment.

[Fishslayer]

So... ya know the old store's info went to the DOJ (or is it ATFE? I can never remember)when they closed. If ya bought anything there guess who has yer info.

What new legislation?

The legislation that, if passed, will prohibit transfer of off-roster handguns via PPT unless the OR handgun is being transferred to a Roster exempt person.
