1911's and California

[Hammerless-12]

After you figure out what is "approved" in Kalifornia, maybe you and all the other good gun owners of that state should start calling your represenatives and congress men and women. You want your rights, as we all do. You have got to be active and make your many voices heard. I am on a personal rampage here in Iowa, and we just got the "right to carry" law passed here. I gaurantee the folks representing our state know who I am. Do the reps in your state know you????

We're actually very active in California, we have to be. Many anti-gun bills have been defeated due to the efforts of the NRA, state organizations like CRPA and through the labors of dedicated gun owners on an individual level, you just don't hear about it.
Before the new ammo bill regulating ammunition sales was signed, individual gun owners literally jammed the governors phone line with calls and emails asking him not to sign the bill in to law, and there are currently three lawsuits, one active and two waiting for legal "ripeness," asking the courts to overturn AB 962, the bill regulating ammunition sales.
These lawsuits were all sponsored and funded by the good gun owners of California.

"Do the reps in your state know you????"
They know us, I can guarantee you that, the difference is for the most part they just don't care.

I grow weary of non-Californians criticising good CA. gun owners for not being proactive enough, it's just not factual. Go here and you'll get a small glimpse of active Californians:

I offer this advice to anyone wanting to help California gun owners; we welcome your help and advice, but please be aware of the ongoing fight that California gun owners battle on a daily basis.

This isn't Iowa, it's a huge populous state and gun owners are staggeringly out numbered.

Sorry to smith-wessonforum for the somewhat off topic reply.

CA. AB962 overturned.

UPDATE

Don't be so quick to sell us short, we are actively defending our 2nd Amendment rights.
Today was a victory for all good law abiding California gun owners.

Court Grants NRA/CRPA Foundation Motion, Invalidates Unconstitutional Ammunition Regulation Statute That Would Have Banned Mail order Ammo Sales & Required Ammo Sales Registration
1/18/11


In a dramatic ruling giving gun owners a win in an National Rifle Association/California Rifle and Pistol (CRPA) Foundation lawsuit, this morning Fresno Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Hamilton ruled that AB 962, the hotly contested statute that would have banned mail order ammunition sales and required all purchases of so called "handgun ammunition" to be registered, was unconstitutionally vague on its face. The Court enjoined enforcement of the statute, so mail order ammunition sales to California can continue unabated, and ammunition sales need not be registered under the law.

Again, apologies to smith-wessonforum if this is somewhat off topic, but this is an important development for all gun owners.
