When he returned from the war, he opened a gun shop in Lancaster, Calif., that became noted for top-notch customer service and for carrying gun parts that other shops didn't offer.

For 40 years, he ran the store in California, eventually being joined by his daughter, Nancy Errea, and her husband, Marty.

They moved to Rapid City in July of 1994 to escape the crime and increasingly stringent gun regulations in their home state.

I feel like sending a letter to the CA legislature, shaming them for chasing this man from the state.

The liberal gov't here in CA is driving out conservatives by the droves, which is accellerating the fall of freedom. That's not enough, they drive out business, especially manufacturing, by constant and ridiculous "green" legislation.

When they finally have their way, only the people that vote for entitlements, no hunting, no fishing, no self defense, no polution, no politically incorrect body language etc. will be left. That leaves Hollywood's limosine liberals to pay all the taxes to support their socialist regeme.

That was my reaction as well. Any state whose laws drive away a man like this has some severe problems.

Don't waste the postage. They won't be shamed, they'll be glad he's gone. They are mean, nasty, small-minded, vicious tyrants. Pistol Packin' Don Perata (state legislator) has even stated that he doesn't WANT people like Mr. First in California. He says things like "people with an unusual love for guns are not wanted here". Not an exact quote, but you get the idea. America's First Freedom had an article about him a couple of years back. He's not an unusual example.

Waste of postage. They have no shame.
