Today, the California Rifle & Pistol Association (CRPA), along with the Second Amendment Foundation, filed suit against the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department over their unconstitutional CCW application process. “As CRPA has pursued our CCW Reckoning Project, we’ve encountered many jurisdictions resist the clear mandate of Bruen, even when we’ve supplied specific guidance on how their CCW processes must adapt,” noted CRPA President & General Counsel Chuck Michel. “Santa Clara has...

Three candidates are running for election or re-election to the NRA Board of Directors who CRPA believes should be considered on the ballot. They were not placed on the ballot by the NRA Nominating Committee, so these candidates are running by the Petition Process. As such, they need signatures from qualified NRA members to be placed on the ballot. The petitions can be signed online and must be submitted to NRA HQ by October 7th. It only takes a minute to sign online. Being named to the...

The California Legislature reaches the halfway mark of its two-year session today and we all know that the waning hours before a long recess present the opportunity for hijinks. In the latest installment of CRPA TV, CRPA Legislative Director Rick Travis stops in to break down the latest amendments to SB 1127, the so-called “glock ban” bill. As Rick points out, while the amendments themselves are concerning, the MANNER in which these amendments circumvent any public input is perhaps an even...

As you may have heard, the final question the late Charlie Kirk was able to answer yesterday related to transgender people and guns. Kirk’s events often touched on emerging issues and this was no exception. In the latest installment of CRPA TV, CRPA President & General Counsel Chuck Michel stops in to discuss the complex debate around transgender gun rights. Is limiting gun rights based on class a slippery slope or are there real public safely issues at stake as the Trump administration...

What the Heck is CODE RED? “Fear Monger in Chief” Ratchets up Rhetoric Governor Newsom has gone full tilt, people. He’s pouring gas on a fire that has divided America to a degree not seen since the militant riots of the 60’s when he warns “that we will not have an election in 2028.” He’s California’s “fear monger in chief” and went on late night TV Tuesday night to warn us all about CODE RED! “I really mean that in the core of my soul unless we wake up to the code red, what’s happening...

Ka-boom! We’ve just had a huge win in the U.S District Court that could finally spell RELIEF for the thousands of CCW applicants who have been given the proverbial middle finger by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. Just this week, Hon. Sherilyn Peace Garnett ruled that Gun Owners of California, our stalwart partners at CRPA (who filed the lawsuit) and individual applicants — have the legal right to challenge California’s CCW licensing regime that delays or denies an individual’s...

Gun Owners of America, alongside our friends at Great Lakes Gun Rights, is fighting to overturn Michigan’s dangerous and unconstitutional “Red Flag” law. Representative Jim DeSana has introduced HB 4138, 4139, and 4140 to wipe this law off the books, and more than 20 Republican lawmakers have already signed on in support. Unfortunately, these bills are being stalled in the House Judiciary Committee, where leadership refuses to even allow a hearing. Let’s be clear: Red Flag laws trample due...

GOA/GOF Legal Victory Expands Constitutional Carry Great News! GOA just secured a huge legal victory in Tennessee, which officially turns that entire geographical region into the 29th Constitutional Carry state. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “I thought we already had 29 permitless states?” Well, we sort of did … but sort of not. Here’s what happened.

I know you’ve heard about FAKE News. But did you know there are FAKE bills, too? Representative Frank Burns (D-72) just filed a bill to amend PA’s Constitution to pass Constitutional Carry. It sounds good, but just like kabuki theater, it’s totally FAKE. You see, back in May, Rep. Burns voted against a procedural motion that would have allowed REAL Constitutional Carry to come up for a vote on the House floor–and he’s been feeling the heat from his constituents ever since. In a desperate...
