Good job.

I promote this but it is disheartening because I remember going to college and about 99% of the students already have the mindframe that guns are nothing but tools to kill. In fact, we had to write a 1000 essay and share it online about if "Teachers should own guns to protects classroom". I read every single essay and all of them already came to a cognitive conclusion that guns are evil and they are tools to kill. Another thing that is disheartening is I see a lot of new gun owners that buy guns based off a video game/movie. What happened to the 2nd amendment ,how about self preservation ,and the right to bear arms. It's a mix crowd and I can see this club causing problems because of th left not agreeing and not willing to bother to understand. Keep in mind CA has a law that if someone deems you incapable of owning a firearm they can report you and cause more problems for you. I'm happy for this club but if you do the math 100 students being pro gun vs 40,000 being either non pro-gun /pro-gun is a bigger issue. Of course I am thankful we have a club like this, perhaps it can be a new stepping stone to moving forward but now your mixing politics with your education and that can hold you back as people already judge you not based on your personality but your appearance from the outside world especially here in college. I rather keep the gun clubs separate from my academia lifestyle . I do remember in 9th grade we highjacked an empty booth and tried to make a "Strip Club" this was back in 1999, I'm sure now I would have been suspended or expel for my satire actions...

Thanks a ton for the support guys!

If anyone is interested in helping the club we would highly appreciate any donations of things for us to pass out or raffle off as prizes. Little things like ear pro, eye pro, cleaning mats, gun locks, etc. Little things like that can go a very long way. If that interests anyone just shoot me a PM!

Pressreader is not user-friendly.

Anyway, I suppose that school club is better than nothing, but needs to grow a pair.



Firearm ownership is more than a sport and a hobby. And yes, we should be promoting a policy and shouldn't fear being affiliated with the NRA, who advocates safety.

On a college campus this is a big step, maybe you keep your pair to yourself and do something like this in your sphere of influence.

I'm a huge proponent of apolitical gun activism. I just got done posting about how "Guns are fun" is way more impactful than "Guns kill fewer people than cars!" or "SHALL. NOT. BE. INFRINGED." so props.

I'm between jobs at the moment, but as soon as I get back to slinging code I'll buy you guys a whole box of earpro to pass out.

I know it's probably too late, but you might consider a pivot to something like "Students for shooting sports and firearms safety" or something like that. Bad example, but my point is to emphasize the fun aspect along with the safety aspect, because unless you're ROTC or something what's the point of all the safety? It's so you can do fun stuff without hurting yourself. I bet you have a rock climbing group, and I bet it's not called "Students for Correct Belaying Technique."

Right on with that. It's all about hearts and minds.

Thanks for being willing to donate!

We focus on everything related to firearms including a heavy focus on sports shooting, especially education on the different types of sports. The club name just helps a lot with having an extremely soft image on campus, which was necessary for me to pull this off. I'm currently working on trying to find some good guest speakers for sports shooting at the moment. Would love to have Chris Cheng come talk but I believe he lives in SoCal.

Happy to hear this!

I'm tied-in with the Cal Poly Marksmanship Club as an alum. The Cal Poly Marksmanship Club has been going since 2014 and it's still going strong.

Check out the club's FB page: https://www.facebook.com/CPMarksmanship/

Hopefully the existing clubs (SJSU, Cal Poly, UC Davis, Gaucho Tactical) can get together and do something fun. We have a great range right in our backyard and would be happy to host.

It's no secret Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara are rivals on the sports field, but one club on Cal Poly's campus is proving the two schools can have some friendly competition.

The Cal Poly Marksmanship Club invited UC Santa Barbara students to a practical shooting match in San Luis Obispo on Saturday.

Never a dull moment with these kids! So if you're linked to a local College/University please get involved. You'll probably see a student at the range sporting something from their school. Ask them if they have a club on campus. There are grants that the school can get through the NRA and NSSF. We've arranged dedicated range time at our local range (along with a Club Safe and Club Guns) and I help get the students prepared for the weekend matches.

Awesome! Gave you guys a like.

One of my club officers is close to one of the leaders over there. We have been tossing ideas around for a joint shoot, or competition maybe. Can't wait!

We had a great meeting yesterday where we taught on the origins and history of the 2nd Amendment! We also covered important court cases such as United States v. Miller (1939), Heller v. DC (2008), McDonald v. Chicago (2010), Caetano v. Massachusetts (2016), Peruta v. San Diego (2016), Wrenn v. DC (2017), and Young v. Hawaii (2018). #StudentsForFirearmsSafety #SFFS #Education #Training #Proficiency
