The next Planning Commission meeting scheduled to address this issue will be on February 21. NRA-ILA staff and FFL holders will meet with Planning Commission members in late January to try to halt any further action. Stay tuned! January 12, 1995 Fresno, California: Next week, the Fresno City Council will hold discussions on right-to-carry reform that would amend the city code to allow more law-abiding citizens to legally carry firearms for personal protection. Reform in Fresno will help promote similar action in other localities. Take steps to save your fundamental right to self-protection in California. Attend the City Council meeting at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 17, in the Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall (located on P between Fresno and Tulare Streets.) Also, contact your councilperson at (209) 498-1560 and urge him or her to support this much-needed reform. You may also fax a letter of support to your councilperson at (209) 237-4010. Don't let this opportunity to institute pro-Second Amendment reform at the local level pass you by. For more information, contact the NRA Sacramento office at (916) 446-2455 or local volunteer Lynn Weeks at (209) 237-2597. January 12, 1995 Pasadena, California: On Monday, January 23, the Pasadena City Council is tentatively scheduled to consider an ordinance that would establish a registration and fingerprinting scheme for all prospective purchasers of ammunition. If this ordinance passes, the gun control crowd will gain momentum and you can expect them introduce similar measures in other localities. The City Council meeting is set for 7:00 p.m. on Monday, January 23, at Pasadena City Hall, located at 100 N. Garfield Avenue. HOWEVER, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE PASADENA GUN CONTROL TASK FORCE MAY PULL THIS ITEM OFF THE JAN. 23 AGENDA. For the lastest information and to learn how you can help stop this ordinance, call Joel Freidman at (818) 793-3701 or the NRA California Office at (916) 446-2455.
