I thought it prudent to keep a public list of items that prove that not all is lost in California with respect to firearms owners' rights. While CA is definitely not as free as was prior to the 1989 Stockton School Shooting and the avalanche of politically-driven efforts to control guns that has followed, there are a huge number of us that have chosen to stay and fight with some successes:
