We all saw this comming.

There will be more; I anticipate all manufacturers will no longer be selling here in Ca.
I'm upset that I don't/won't have the money needed in time to buy the couple more pistols I want.

The memo is dated back in June; prior to the passage of the bill.

Now that the bill is passed despite Glock's opposition, it will be interesting to see Glock makes good on their commitment to "reconsider" marketing their product in CA.

If a major manufacturer like Glock stands up against this, more will follow to boycott CA.

Well we'll see. Barrett stood up to them.

And God Bless Ronnie for doing it too. Though he took a more constitutional stand, if Glock starts many others will follow.

GRRRRRRRRr CA evil plan is working
banning hand guns with out actually banning handguns

The only problem with this is that a boycott by manufacturers will only hurt us the consumers. This is exactly what these politicians want to happen; they can get handguns out of Ca. without trying to pass a ban.

That's true..., didn't think about that.

Obviously a boycott that only targets the commercial market is a lost cause, it actually hurts the gun owners and plays into the hands of the gun grabbers.

On the other hand, if the boycott is like what Barrett did by refusing sales to the government agencies, then it will work.

Yup, Glock should refuse service on all of LAPD's Glocks.
