Announcing Calguns, Inc.

Online, September 3, 2009 (Newswire.com) - After 7 years of quietly transforming California's 'Right to Keep and Bear Arms' (RKBA) world, popular web forum Calguns.net is making noise by revamping itself with a name change to Calguns.com, a sleek new avant-garde look and adding many exciting features. Ben Cannon and Brandon Combs are joining Paul Nordberg on the newly-formed Board of Directors by taking shareholder positions in Calguns, Inc., which owns the website and forums.

The new Board includes three dedicated members of the RKBA community. Mr. Cannon will combine his years of highly-successful business management and passion for gun rights in the new Calguns organization. Mr. Combs will serve the Calguns community by directing its vastly expanded outreach and educational efforts. Mr. Nordberg will retain voting control of the organization and serve as Site Administrator, where he will continue to lead the forum's dedicated team of moderators.

"Widespread name recognition and a substantially increased membership base are critical to positioning Calguns as a social advocacy organization capable of influencing state-level decision-making. Our goals are ambitious, and it's no secret that we expect to see Calguns at 300,000 members in 12 months time," says Cannon.

Asked what current members should anticipate, Cannon explains: "Our members will immediately see the benefits of a familiar, yet enhanced, user experience as well as new features like improved searching, secure, encrypted browsing and aesthetically-integrated advertising."

"We're excited to reach beyond cyberspace with the new Calguns Community Chapters outreach program. These Chapters will provide a much-needed 'on the ground' presence to promote the rights of firearm owners in our communities. Soon, even geographically-separated members will be able to leverage the collaborative potential of Calguns to discuss concepts and opportunities for outreach in their neighborhoods, as well as sharing documents, educational materials and more," says Combs.

"At its core, Calguns is a place where friends and family gather to discuss those topics important to them; this absolutely will not change. Calguns will continue to provide a safe and well-structured environment filled with the web's best firearm-related content. The goal of Calguns' outward growth is to create more opportunities for members to communicate and stay connected to those issues that matter to them while maintaining the rich, robust online home they have in our forums," says Nordberg.

"Calguns has become the platform of choice for all Californians who wish to preserve and further their Second Amendment rights," says Cannon. "This is about giving our membership the powerful social and political voice they deserve. When Calguns calls, Sacramento is going to be picking up the phone."

Calguns, Inc. is California's premier organization dedicated to serving the firearms community. Its 34,000 members enjoy the robust discussion forums at Calguns.com, one of the largest and most active on the internet. For more information visit url:http://www.calguns.com or contact [email protected]
