GUN OWNERS OF CALIFORNIA, INC. 3440 VIKING DRIVE, SUITE 106 SACRAMENTO, CA 95827 916-361-3109 916-361-7922 FAX FAX ALERT Date: July 12, 1995 TO: Fax Insiders From: H.L. Richardson RE: AB 638 (Knight) ================================================================= As the saying goes, "good things do come to those who wait." Boy, have we got some good news for all of us gunners. Yesterday the Public Safety Committee voted 5-4 to pass out the Concealed Carry bill introduced by Assemblyman Knight. The votes are as follows: Setencich (Interim Chair) Aye Boland (temporary members) Aye Bowlyer Aye Rainey Aye Rogan Aye Kuehl Nay Martinez Nay K. Murray Nay Villaraigosa Nay Thanks for all of the support and extra efforts put forth! Also, another note of interest. In June, the Tarrance Group, a well respected research outfit, conducted a telephone survey regarding gun rights. The group found that support for gun rights remains strong, despite the media's attempt to link firearm ownership with the Oklahoma City bombing. The poll of 1,000 registered voters found that 65% support the right of every law-abiding citizen to carry afirearm for self- defense. 84% believe the individual criminal should be held legally responsible for the misuse of guns -- not the law-abiding gun owners. A Political Committee dedicated to CRIME CONTROL NOT GUN CONTROL. [end]
