About Us
Founded way back in 1875, the California Rifle
and Pistol Association (CRPA) is an organization
of sportsmen dedicated to the preservation of our
American heritage. In this age of constant
political attacks on the rights of law-abiding
citizens to own and use firearms for legitimate
purposes, the CRPA is the state organization
dedicated to protecting firearm freedoms and
promoting shooting sports solely in the State of
California. CRPAs lobbyist in Sacramento fights
adverse firearms legislation and advances laws
that will protect your rights. CRPAs Counsel
for Litigation and Local Affairs files
appropriate litigation against the state or
cities that pass unconstitutional or illegal
ill-conceived gun control laws, monitors local
legislative efforts, and mobilizes CRPA's
resources to oppose those efforts as necessary.
