Announcements

We are proud to announce a new addition to our website and community, a brand spanking new forum. We feel this new forum can help us grow a sense of community and allow each other to reach out for help with issues in an easy fashion.

While things are looking good for firearm owners at the federal level there are many state legislatures poised to attack your constitutional rights and fighting them requires aligned voices. Support will also be needed at the federal level to help repeal Draconian laws that regulate suppressors and to attempt to make carry permits honored like drivers licenses.

This forum is also the next step in growing the organization and appointing state coordinators that can help bring a more intimate knowledge of issues within their state. It is also part of our ultimate goal of helping small pro-gun organizations band together to create a larger base to fight back against any challenge that may arise.

The forum also has other areas, it's not all activism. There is a classifieds section, firearms discussion section and even an off topic area. Creating a community needs more than 'just business'.

We would love to see you come in and post a few things. Yes we know right now it's pretty much a 'blank slate' (there are starter threads and posts) but we need to start somewhere. It's like that first person to get out on the dance floor but with your help we can get this thing going.

To make it a bit more interesting we have decided to open up a contest that will run through January 30th 2017. There will be 6 categories members can vote on with prizes for the top picks and the runner ups. The categories for the contest are:

Most helpful - firearms related

Most helpful - legislation related

Most knowledgeable - firearms related

Most knowledgeable - legislation related

And of course we have to have a funniest poster category.

Top winners will receive an AMGOA coffee mug and a 1 year supporting membership (if the winner is already a supporting member another year will be added).

Runner ups in all categories will receive a 6 month supporting membership.

So come on in, don't be shy, say hello, post a few topics that are important to you and help us get going!

we are proud to announce a new feature on our website today. The most powerful interactive reciprocity map on the internet.

With a simple click of a mouse you can:

1. Add or remove states you have permits in

2. Change permits from resident to non-resident without having to clear the map

3. See information on what states that your permit(s) are valid in have duty duty to inform laws

4. See states that your permit(s) are valid in that have age limitations

5. See important information on limitations on permit holders for the states your permit(s) are valid in if there are any.

As an added bonus the map also has links that show you constitutional carry states along with shall issue and may issue states.

The map also has detailed instructions on how to use the map and get the most out of it, simply click on the question mark icon at any time to view them.

We have changed our commenting system on proposed state and federal legislation to the disgus system so that anyone with a Disgus, Facebook, Google+ or Twitter account can now add comments.

This also means the old Facebook only comments are gone. We regret that but feel this new system allows more people to get in on the conversations.

We have added quite a few new features to the website as of March 15, 2015. Many of these features are geared toward making it easier for you to contact and interact with your legislators. All of these new features can be used by members that sign up for our new 'subscribing member' option.

For more information on these new features and the new membership please Click here

We will be locking down the site early Sunday night (7pm EST), March 15th, to make upgrades and to add in a ton of new features to the site. We shouldn't be down more than a few hours or so.

Today, October 3rd we had an issue with the company that provides our legislation updates and pulled bills that should not have come in. Because of the issue we have had to remove everything that came in today.

If you received a notice of new bills for your state or the federal government please ignore it.

We are sorry for the issue and working to resolve it before the next import.

We have started a counter petition at change.org after seeing Shannon Watts (Moms Demand Action) asking Target to change their policy and ban guns in their stores.

Shannon has some time on us and well over 12,000 signatures so we need your support.

We have a winner in our 'Pick Your Prize' gun giveaway, Mike N. from Springfield, Ohio. Congrats Mike!

Watch for our next giveaway in early June.

Due to overwhelming requests we are extending the deadline for our pick your prize gun giveaway to Friday June 6th at midnight. We hope this will give everyone the time they need to add their reviews so they are eligible to win.

We sent out a reminder email to all members today about our upcoming contest and unfortunately something went wrong with the software. Multiple copies were sent out by mistake.

We apologize for the error and will make sure it does not happen again.

After seeing one of our member's daughters, Shyanne Roberts, stand up to the NJ Assembly committee about the newly proposed 10 round magazine limit we have decided to sponsor her competitive shooting career.

We deeply regret the down time we experienced Feb. 18th. It appears a server tech didn't pay attention to what needed to be done and took the site down for almost 3 hours. This will NOT happen again.

We have talked to 'upper management and these kinds of problem will NOT reappear.

We have added a new section to the site for trainers and training companies. It is a 'work in progress' while we fine tune it and add more trainers over the next several months.

We will also be adding a 'review this trainer' section, like we have with FFLs and gun shows later this month.

You can now add comments to any proposed state or federal law using your Facebook account. Comments are located at the bottom of each law's page. Please note we would ask you to keep your comments 'family friendly'

Our new gun giveaway starts January 1st, 2014.

This time the winner gets to pick the gun they want from our list. For more info Click Here

Congrats to James L. of El Paso Texas, the winner of our Glock giveaway.

We have finally been able to get things going with official AMGOA merchandise. You can click here to go directly to the store. You can also find a link to the store under the about menu tab.

We have completed two new sections that allow members to add reviews for both FFL dealers and gun shows that you may have done business with. Everyone can read the reviews but only members can leave them.

To review an FFL you simply search for them from our FFL Locator page and under their information you will see a link that says 'review this FFL'

To review a gun show simply find the show in question from our gun show search page and click on the link below the show details that say 'review this show'. The date of the show is irrelevant - the reviews are based off of a promoter doing a show at a specific venue and will 'follow' the show to future dates.

It has come to our attention that the Gen 4 Glock can not be owned in California unless it is altered to single shot mode. We were not aware of this so in an effort to make it fair for everyone in every state if the Gen 4 Glock is not legal to own in your state we will provide an alternate Glock of equal or lesser value that is legal to own in the winner's state.

Please see the updated contest page for details

We have complete the shooting competitions section as well as the area to add new competitions. If you run any kind of shooting competition please feel free to add it on our add competition page.

To search or browse competitions please check out our Shooting Competitions Page

Next goal to meet is a public ranges section that should be completed this coming week.

We are glad you stopped by to check out what we think could be the most useful tool and potentially the largest pro gun group in America.

Make sure to sign up for a free membership so you can start tracking laws without having to search the internet for information.

We may be small now but we are just getting started and with your support we can become a resounding force in gun rights.

Sign up today to get the most out of our service. Track pending legislation, contact legislators, get email alerts about legislation you care about and much, much more.
