In these days of high uncertainty - from shifting news stories about COVID-19, economic surges and meltdowns, peaceful protests and those that are violent, we all need some good news. This one surprised us – but we are nonetheless pleased to report that the LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva just announced that he plans to increase CCW permits by 400%. For the residents of Los Angeles County, this policy switch-up is welcome news, especially given permits have been notoriously difficult to get. This is a sharp turnround from Villanueva’s anti-gun efforts when the coronavirus hit – GOC was on the front lines fighting his initial edict that “gun stores weren’t essential” and therefore should be closed.

Check out the news stories below – Americans and gun owners in particular need to know what is happening in the world around them – and the ongoing threat to their individual rights. Being armed and informed is one of the most significant things we each can do – PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY – we are far more effective when we have an informed army of people standing with us!
