Calguns Foundation Blog

Especially significant in light of California Gov. Edmund Gerald "Jerry" Brown, Jr.'s signing of AB 144 into law - a piece of legislation that does nothing but frustrate the rights of law-abiding gun owners - Calguns Foundation has published statistics on all active carry licenses and licensing authorities across the state.

Recently I got into a discussion with someone who had moved away from California. He asserted that all the litigation didn't matter and that we as civil rights supporters were not winning and, as usual, we Californians should just leave. I asked him an important question and it should be telling that he didn't answer that question publicly. I asked him how populous his supposed free state was. He privately replied that his new state's population was 3,800,000 (Oregon) and continued to accuse California gun rights supporters of being Baghdad Bob for saying that we're winning. There is no more serious case of Battered Gun Owner Syndrome or lack of understanding of what is actually going on in the US. Because I think this attitude may be a bit too common, I'm compelled to comment on it.
