This is a fairly new organization.  They want to inform people and facilitate organization and political activism without getting up to their elbows in the sausage making.

 

I consider them a resource to check in on and get information.

 

Eventually, they will be a way to contact and collaborate with other organizations in one place.

 

The American Gun Owners Alliance wants you to be the most informed gun enthusiast around, so much so that we are giving away a Gen 4 Glock 19 just for signing up with us!

 

It's easy and it's 100% free. Here's what you need to do to be entered in this giveaway:

 

Sign up here using either the regular sign up form or the sign up with Facebook form.

 

Once you have signed up log into your member control panel and complete your contact information; address, city, state, area code and phone number so we can contact you if you win. Member must also enter their birth date to confirm eligibility.

 

Then like our Facebook page at: http://www.facebook....nOwnersAlliance to see if you win (announcement will also be made on the website for non Facebook users).

 

Winner will be chosen by a script that will select a random member id from our database on August 1, 2013 and will be announced on Facebook as well as the AMGOA website.

 

Already a member? Don't worry you will be included in the eligible members, just pass this along to a friend.

 

Due to the extreme variances in state law the final package for the Glock will be chosen based on the laws governing the winner. (magazine capacity, test cartridge etc)

Great Resource

nice site,

Cool site, stupid contest.

Sorry, I'm not a Glock fan either but the general vote was for a Glock (also probably the easiest one to get considering current backlogs)

So as I mentioned in my introduction (over in the intros section) I wanted to come over here and try and explain this new organization as best I could.

 

First off the 'From The Founder' page explains most of it.

 

The basic idea is the ability to get information to all gun owners, groups etc as easily and quickly as possible.

 

We pull all newly updated and newly added state and federal laws every morning at 2am, 7 days a week. We then look through them in the morning to make sure we didn't pull anything that wasn't gun related (keyword matching across any platform is never 100% correct).

 

Members can mark laws they want to stay informed about by adding them to their watch list by clicking on the gold star at the top of the laws page. They can then go into their control panel and set up automatic alerts for changes to the laws on their watch list. (also your watch list is at the bottom of your control panel)

 

Once we bring the laws in in the morning any member that has a law in their watch list that has been updated (or a new law has been added for their state or the federal government) an email is sent to them telling them what laws, what has changed and a link back to the site where they can read the updates.

 

It is also meant to help bring groups together to fight for a cause that may not have even known the other existed.

 

For instance, someone on this board announced a rally in, let's say, Hackettstown. The rally could be pushed out to us who can then inform other groups that are close by that may want to lend support. We would push the info out to other groups from NJ as well as eastern PA in an effort to bolster the rally. The same applies to anything else.

 

That's the basic basic gist of it, we are adding more and more every day. If you look under the resources menu item you will notice we have listings for just about anything you might need.

 

Once thing we intend to add over the next few months is gun shops (and reviews of them), private ranges (and again reviews of them) and some other goodies.

 

Any questions .... I'll be glad to answer

No worries, meant as a joke. Never pass up an opportunity to razz the glock kool aid drinkers.

Truth be known I am a 1911 fan and own Kimbers (older models, new ones are crap)

We added a new feature to the site yesterday, FFL reviews. You can add your positive (and negative) experiences with an FFL by locating them from our locate FFL page: http://amgoa.org/Federal-Firearm-Licensed-Dealers and then click on the link below their information that says 'Review this FFL'.

We do require membership (again 100% free) And reviewers to be logged in to add reviews, keeps the spammers and idiots from posting garbage.

You may carry a 1911 but there are glocks in your house.

 

Is Rich doing Rodeway? I need .38. I love his stuff. Hope the prices haven't gone up much.

Nope, no more Glocks ... we sold the last one last year. Don't know what RIch is up to any more, we don't see much of each other.

 

On another note, we added another new feature to the site this week, Gun show reviews. They work a little differently than the FFL reviews though.

 

Basically the reviews are 'attached' to one promoter doing a show at one venue. This way the reviews will follow that show and all new dates for that show as long as it's the same promoter and venue.

 

And just like the FFL reviews only logged in members can add reviews, everyone can see them.

We just found (and fixed) a bug in the system. If you have laws on your watch list and had set your preferences in your control panel to be emailed when the laws were updated please log back into your control panel and update your preferences again.

There was a problem in the back end code that was setting the email updates field to false no matter what you chose... sorry about the problem.
