JLPFI July NewsBlast!

JLPFI would like to wish each of our loyal clients a very Happy 4th of July this week! June was another spectacular training month filled with several CCW renewal clients. Our new CCW applicants from Fresno and Madera county experienced a segmented 8 hour course packed with everyday carry mindset and muscle memory range training! Membership training continued with assigned missions for each member session to perpetuate their performance, abilities and confidence. Our new shooter orientations included a recent college graduate that received a JLPFI course as a gift for her birthday! She gained an appreciation for safe handling, nomenclature and operation of both a revolver and a semi-auto handgun.

A BIG THANK YOU to Eastside Fresno Rotary for an invitation to inform members about how to apply for a CCW and we also provided a full legislative update regarding gun and ammunition laws in California. It was a warm welcome and great question and answer time was conducted. Please contact John Lewis if your club or church group would like a presentation from JLPFI!

July is booking quickly for private and regularly scheduled CCW renewal courses. JLPFI would love to hear from you or a friend who is interested in personal firearms training. Beat the heat as JLPFI welcomes early morning scheduling. Let us hear from you. (559) 349-3833.

July 1 is here and so is the new ammunition law for California residents to purchase ammo. Many like minded individuals stockpiled their ammunition ahead of today. The final California DOJ regulation was approved by the office of administrative law on June 24th. The "extra" requirement that was added in to emergency legislation is the requirement to produce a Real ID, Certified birth certificate or passport to purchase ammunition from any ammunition vendor. This new law requires any California resident seeking to purchase ammo to provide their name, address, telephone number and the system also records the specific ammunition you are purchasing and the amount you buy. Each transaction will cost $1 if you are a current registered gun owner in the Automated Firearms System database. If you are denied your purchase, you may request a $19 background check by the ammunition vendor that may take up to 1 month to determine your eligibility to possess ammunition. It is against the law to import any ammunition into California.

JLPFI has sounded off to the Department of Justice of California stating that this law will not stop criminals from possessing ammunition nor will it reduce crime. Evidently, Sheriff Mims 100% agrees!
"Unfortunately who it effects is law-abiding citizens and that flies in the face of our constitution and our Second Amendment rights," said Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims.

Mims says the new law does little to address illegal activity while it unfairly targets those who already follow the law.
"Right now in Fresno County we got about 16,000 concealed weapons holders...these are law-abiding citizens who are now going to be required to pay that tax, show their ID and unfortunately the people who should be controlled are the criminals and they have access to anything they want," she said.

JLPFI provides plenty of defensive ammunition suggestions with clients. NOVX is one of the newest offerings that provides a LSB also known as a liquid sonic boom when it penetrates soft tissue. This defensive ammunition is cutting edge technology that is designed not to over penetrate.

Please inquire at your local gun or ammunition dealer about NOVX ! JLPFI reminds all clients to always test fire defensive ammunition in their semi-automatic weapons to make sure it feeds and shoots flawlessly before you trust it for everyday carry use.
