On June 3, the Assembly passed Assembly Bill 962 by a 42-31 vote. AB962 now heads to the Senate where it has been assigned to the Senate Public Safety Committee.

Also on June 3, Senate Bill 585 passed the Senate by a vote of 21-18. It now moves to the Assembly where it will be considered by the Assembly Public Safety Committee. No hearing dates have been scheduled for either bill.

Assembly Bill 962 would make it a crime to privately transfer more than 50 rounds of ammunition per month, even between family and friends, unless you are registered as a “handgun ammunition vendor” in the Department of Justice’s database. Ammunition retailers would have to be licensed and store ammunition in such a manner that it would be inaccessible to purchasers. The bill would also require purchasers submit to fingerprinting, which would be submitted to the Department of Justice. Lastly, mail order ammunition sales would be prohibited.

Senate Bill 585, introduced by State Senator Mark Leno (D-3), would prohibit the sale of firearms and ammunition on the property or inside the buildings that comprise the Cow Palace. In short, SB585 is a stepping-stone to banning gun shows on all publicly-owned property in California.

It is imperative that you stand-up and respectfully make your voices heard! Please contact the members of the Senate Public Safety Committee and urge them to oppose AB962. Also, please contact the members of the Assembly Committee on Public Safety and insist that they defeat SB585. Contact information can be found below.

For those of you who missed our installation, you missed a great day. According to the members that attended the pit barbeque turned out the best flavored meat that we had ever had. It was such a hit, that we are going to do the same thing again.

I would like to thank Andy and Cheryl Kyne, Mark Jungers, Patrick Mercier, Brandy Fitzmaurice, Marc Crosby, Steve Hoffman and all the others for making this a fantastic installation. A special thanks also goes out to Don VanMeter who took hundreds of pictures for our website. As you should know, it's not as easy as most people think to put together enough food for 175 people, but it looked easy then this crew worked together.

I am pleased to congratulate our Man of the Year, Robert Freed; Woman of the Year, Brand Fitzmaurice; Social of the Year, Gina Kasten; and Junior of the Year Eric Freed. I, the Board of Directors, and every member appreciate you hard work and dedication in helping make our club what it is today. A special thanks and the Presidents award go to Judd Keener for his never ending quest to ensure that our club is environmentally friendly. Also receiving a President's award is Bob Fusco for helping the environmental committee with our lead removal project and championing the committee that has interacted with the County of San Diego to ensure that our rights as a gun club and as gun owners are not diminished by the proposed regulations that would have affected everyone in San Diego County. There are too many volunteers to name them all, but suffice it to say that our core group of volunteers have kept our club looking good and operating smoothly.

I would like to give a huge thanks to Jack Phillips our outbound secretary, Jack Jones, director and Lincoln Picard, delegate to the SDCWLF for their hard work over the last 2 years. I would also like to welcome the following new members to our Board of Directors. Kevin King, Secretary; Brandy Fitzmaurice, Director at large; Jerry McIntyre, Range Chair; Wayne Langevin, Sgt at Arms; and Mike McIntyre, delegate to the SDCWLF. These and our existing Board will be representing you, our members, over the coming year.

Get ready for something new! Starting in July, the club will be holding 3D archery tournaments. Mark Jungers and Steve Hoffman will be starting championing this event and the Board is strongly supportive of this new opportunity for our members and guests. More information to come.

There is still a need for volunteers to run our sporting clays and I am looking for shootmasters for June through April of next year. Please contact me or Robert Freed if you would be willing to volunteer. Someone with experience will be available to help you if this is your first time setting up the course.

I also, as always, am looking for our work party cooks. If you can slap together a pot of spaghetti, cook a roast, make a casserole, then we want you. Typically we have between 25-40 hungry volunteers at the range on the 4th Saturday and after 4 hours of work on the range they are hungry. Please volunteer to help feed them. Thanks to every member for their support over the last year and I hope that you will continue to make our club the best in San Diego County.
