California Alert - Handgun Licensing Schemes Close to Passage

Friday, August 10, 2001

YOUR IMMEDIATE HELP IS NEEDED TO PRESERVE CALIFORNIA`S FIREARMS FREEDOMS

Two handgun licensing schemes are close to passage in the California legislature!

AB 35(Shelley), the Assembly`s onerous handgun licensing bill, successfully passed out of the Assembly by a mere ONE vote majority. AB 35 is now on its way to the Senate where it may be amended and sent back to the Assembly for a second vote.

SB 52 (Scott), the Senate`s version of handgun licensing, is now in the Assembly and could get committee and full floor vote soon. Both bills must be stopped in the Assembly, or law-abiding gun owners in California will be subjected to a host of hurdles in order to exercise their Second Amendment rights!

It`s critical that you contact your Assemblymember in Sacramento as soon as possible and respectfully urge their "NO" votes on AB 35 and SB 52. You can find your Assemblymember`s phone number and other contact information by entering your zip code in the box below and clicking "Go".
