Special Guests
Statement to the Murrieta City Council
On Tuesday May 18th, Executive Director Karen Wood attended the Murrieta hybrid city council meeting. Via Zoom, she presented statements to the council about the need for the city to align it’s CCW processes to that of the county’s and eliminate the mandatory psychological exam as part of their city’s CCW requirements. This psychological exam is nothing more than a personality test. It’s the same test that is administered to law enforcement and other first responders as a fit-for-duty or condition of employment. It can cost a CCW applicant an extra $150-$300 depending on the authorized test administrator.
Sheriff Bianco does not require a psychological exam as part of obtaining a CCW permit in Riverside County. Riverside County Gun Owners doesn’t believe that one must possess the same “personality” as a police officer or other first responder in order to be able to lawfully defend him or herself. RCGO plans to follow up with individuals of the Murrieta city council in the next few weeks to see if the city will accommodate the request to either align their CCW process with that of the county’s or eliminate their CCW program altogether. Stay tuned, more to follow.
CALL TO ACTION:
City of Riverside Residents – Ward 4
Riverside County Gun Owners spoke with Charles (Chuck) Conder regarding his re-election campaign for Riverside City Council Ward 4. If you are currently a resident in this Ward, or know someone who is and is a law abiding gun owner – Chuck is the candidate to vote for!
RCGO is proud to endorse Chuck for his second term re-election on June 8th. As a staunch Second Amendment supporter, Chuck has a long established record of serving not only his country but his community as well. He needs our help to ensure he maintains his position on a city council that is very much ANTI-Second Amendment. Many of the Riverside City Council members, who were known to be supportive of our 2A retired over the last several years and replaced by council members who were not. There is a tremendous amount of work needed to help change this balance in the city of Riverside. Please help get the word out. Share this message, forward to everyone you know whether they live in the city of Riverside or not (they may know people who do!) and if you can help take it a step further, please visit Chuck’s campaign website: Reach out to him, donate directly to his campaign, volunteer, do whatever is necessary to help ensure he maintains his position on the council.

New on the Blog: The Horror of Gun Control
This article addresses a very disturbing video that illustrates the horror of gun control. The video is an example of how dangerous laws and ignorant attitudes impact real people. To be clear, gun control laws are not intended to increase public safety or to impede criminals.
