Why ARGO Foundation 501(c)(3)?
The ARGO movement's nonprofit arm is dedicated to advancing youth-driven initiatives that aim to promote generational responsible firearm culture across America, just like the past generations have enjoyed for so long!
Youth Participation
One side has dominated the youth space via social media, educational institutions, and culture for many years. The result is - plummeting youth participation rates in responsible firearm training, hunting, shooting sports, self-defense and much more, which poses a threat to our inherent liberties in the future.
Accessibility
The amount of state authorities, extreme lobbying groups, and special interests are increasing in limiting and blocking accessible responsible firearm training and resources for mostly urban, but increasingly rural communities across America.
Community Crime Reduction.
American communities are currently experiencing heightened criminal activities in their own backyards. Supporting local authorities in being tougher on crime and bringing back law and order is a must for the next generation of successful American communities.

News Overview:
In California, new Department of Justice regulations, implemented as part of Senate Bill 2, have raised concerns among pro-gun advocates and educators. The regulations affect firearms instructors teaching classes required for state concealed weapons permits, limiting certification to those instructing at police academies, training armed security guards, or educating higher education students pursuing law enforcement careers. Critics argue that these changes, including restrictions on carrying concealed weapons in certain areas, create a shortage of certified instructors and make it challenging for Californians to obtain or renew concealed weapons permits.

News Overview:
A coalition of gun owners, led by the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association, has filed lawsuits in Douglas and Lancaster County District Courts challenging executive orders by the mayors of Omaha and Lincoln that restrict firearms in city parks and public spaces. The lawsuits argue that these orders violate a recent state law, Legislative Bill 77, which permits concealed carry without a permit and restricts local governments from regulating firearms beyond state allowances. The legal action seeks to declare the executive orders and certain local gun ordinances unconstitutional, emphasizing the plaintiffs` constitutional right to bear arms free from local restrictions.

The recent proposal by the California Department of Justice for emergency regulations on concealed weapons instructors has sparked concern among pro-gun advocates. Critics argue that the regulations, which impose new qualifications and grounds for revoking certifications, could limit citizens’ access to proper concealed carry training, infringing on their Second Amendment rights. The California State Sheriff’s Association voiced opposition, highlighting the potential negative impact on small businesses and urging the DOJ to reconsider the proposed regulations.
