There are many other websites that also strive toward similar goals, but adhere to different philosophies. Some advocate political activism. Some advocate open carry. Some advocate looking for and exploiting “loopholes” within existing laws. Some advocate litigation and aggressive use of the legal system. Some even advocate “stretching” or “breaking” the law to achieve a desired goal.

CalCCW.com does not bash or speak ill of other sites and such behavior is not tolerated on CalCCW.com. However, CalCCW.com does not align itself with the philosophies of these other web sites. We do respect their right to express their own opinions, however.

Among the defining characteristics of CalCCW.com is that we attempt to build bridges rather than tear them down. With each new CCW that is issued, within the confines of existing laws, a new bridge is built.

CalCCW.com does not tolerate illegal activity of any kind. Any advice or posting that advocates any type of activity that even skirts the grey areas of illegality is addressed quickly and firmly.

The founding and senior members of CalCCW.com are a very friendly group who genuinely enjoy helping others toward achieving a CCW. Many are acknowledged subject matter experts regarding CCW in their own counties or jurisdictions. Some are acknowledged subject matter experts regarding CCW within the state of California and their opinions are sought after by decision makers, law enforcement agencies, and regulatory bodies as a result.

As the founding and senior members hold themselves accountable for their words and actions, they also hold all members accountable for their words and actions, because we are all a reflection of CalCCW.com.

Regardless of the reasons that brought us to California, our reasons for choosing to reside here, or our respective feelings regarding California firearms laws, the founding and senior members are citizens of the State of California with a genuine interest in improving the image of California to residents of other states.

CalCCW.com does not “Suger-Coat” issues. “CalCCW.com may not always be able to tell what you want to hear, but they will always tell you what you need to hear”.

Constructive criticism and active participation from all members is always welcome and appreciated.

Thanks,
