Calgunners, how can we best support RKBA and the gun culture, shooting activities and promote the Calguns community in your neighborhoods, cities and counties?

You have the floor.

When I went to hear the vote on AB357,I only met 3 other calgunners. Very dissappointed, but still, it was cool to go and meet somebody with similar ideas. We need to get together a contingent to attend every meeting, hearing, and vote on firearms. If we stay visible to the legislators it will start sticking in their minds that we are their constituents.

Sik is organizing the range clean up but i think we (calgunners in the area) should be as proactive as possible while out at our respective ranges.


The "business cards" are a great idea. I think people really under estimate it. Gun owners, especially in this state, feel like an isolated and dying breed. I think the more "bro i feel your pain" love we can spread the better.

So far I have been reaching out to the anti and on the fence gun crowd and have been successful in changing someone's mindset on firearms in general. It turns out she is actually a really good shot and has expressed interest in traveling to the range again! This weekend I am training another individual which has never shot before how to handle a rifle, I hope this goes as well as the last individual.

From what I have seen it is possible to change a person's mindset if you provide the individual with sufficient opportunity to voice their concerns and establish that you are not a "crazed gunny" (not my own words).

In regards to Calguns, I make every effort to spread the word about this foundation/organization to every individual I have met which has been interested in firearms in general.

At some point we can maybe organize an open carry event in San Luis Obispo, the county seat, to make a point. Just look at the starbucks open carry event:

Maybe I am taking this too far....

Calguns booths at Stockton and Turlock gun shows.

I'm going to be taking some youth group to learn how to shoot skeet/trap and need people who know the sport come out and help. There might be around 30 of them. Time and date will be posted. It will be held in Fresno.

I think we should try to have a booth at local fairs, or at least people walking around handing out info in Calguns shirts. And do something at the local though crappy local gun shows.

Also may want to get business card holders so we can have cards at all gun shops all the time instead of just fliers when its an emergency. Just a thought.

I bought a Crickett youth rifle and made up a kit to give away at the Friends of NRA Dinner on 18 February in Lemoore.

The kit consists of the rifle, eye protection, sound suppressors, a brick of .22 ammo, a package of targets and a carrying case.

This will be presented as a Calguns sponsored drawing/raffle and given to a youngster to help launch the next generation of shooters.

An actual rifle designed as a Calguns item with hearing and eye protection set up in its own carrying case ought to be a winner. Regardless, the entire kit can be used at virtually any event to promote the future generation of shooters at a low cost.

+1 I agree, plus maybe heading out to festivals like for example asparagus festival stockton, most citys have something similar we can have a booth to spread word?

This is a good idea, anyone i run into while working, im a delivery driver and have 250 customers a week, if i notice they are into guns, i tell them about CGN. I think if we are present at shows, cards at gun shops, and just to get our site and our cause out there, i think it will help in our fight for the 2nd Amendment. The more people who join, become aware our cause and what we stand and fight for, the better things will get.

+1 on the open carry.
