For the first time, a complete set of California's gun laws is being released for public use.
The California Gun Owner's Guide is a legal landmark'residents can now hold all the gun laws in one hand. Assembled by noted firearms legal experts Georgene Lockwood and Alan Korwin, The California Gun Owner's Guide contains word-for-word text of all the gun laws (not just the penal code) and extensive supporting material in plain English. California has nearly twice as many gun laws as the federal government.
WHAT THE AUTHORS ARE SAYING:
"For too long, Californians have relied on rumor and hearsay'instead of solid information'when exercising the right to bear arms, " Korwin commented in a recent interview. "We expect this book to find its way onto the desks of both pro-gun and gun-control advocates alike." Co-author Lockwood agreed, adding, "The California Gun Owner's Guide provides a new framework for the entire firearms debate'reality."
The one book every gun owner in California should have. Plain English descriptions of the gun laws for private individuals, complete text of the state gun laws, training material for concealed-weapon-permit applicants and much more. You get the straight scoop on ownership, possession and use of firearms in California. The most complete treatment available anywhere of one state's handling of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution.
Korwin's first book, The Arizona Gun Owner's Guide, came out in 1989. It explains the state's gun laws in plain-English and has spawned a series of guides that includes California, Florida, Texas, Virginia, and an unabridged edition of the federal gun laws, Gun Laws of America, with more on the way. His book, Wickenburg! The Ultimate Guide to the Ultimate Western Town, features a foreword by Barry Goldwater, and his full-color book Scottsdale came out in 1995. In 1997, HarperCollins released Safe Not Sorry, by Tanya Metaksa, which features three supplements Korwin wrote on national firearms law. His latest co-written book, Supreme Court Gun Cases, released at the end of 2003 after six years of effort, chronicles the entire High Court jurisprudence on guns. A partial list of Mr. Korwin's clients includes: American Express, SkyMall, ITT, Intel, IBM, AT&T, MicroAge, Wide World of Maps, Kroy, Three-Five Systems, NYNEX and The Mesa Varmint Callers.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
Alan Korwin, author of three books and co-author of seven others, is a full-time freelance writer, consultant and businessman with a twenty-five-year track record. He is a founder and two-term past president of the Arizona Book Publishing Association, which has presented him with its Visionary Leadership award, named in his honor, the Korwin Award. He has received national awards for his publicity work as a member of the Society for Technical Communication, and is a past board member of the Arizona chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.
Working with American Express, Mr. Korwin wrote the executive-level strategic plan that defined that firm's worldwide telecommunications strategy for the 1990s; he wrote the business plan that raised $5 million in venture capital and launched SkyMall; he did the publicity for Pulitzer Prize cartoonist Steve Benson's fourth book; and he had a hand in developing ASPED, Arizona's economic strategic plan. Korwin's writing appears often in a wide spectrum of local and national publications.
Korwin turned his first book, The Arizona Gun Owner's Guide, into a self-published best-seller, now in its 20th edition. With his wife, Cheryl, he operates Bloomfield Press, which has grown into the largest producer and distributor of gun-law books in the country. It is built around six books he has completed on the subject, including the unabridged guide Gun Laws of America, an expanding line of related items, and countless radio and TV appearances. Supreme Court Gun Cases is his 10th book. Alan is widely recognized as a leading expert on America's gun laws.
Alan Korwin is originally from New York City, where his clients included IBM, AT&T, NYNEX and others, many with real names. He is a pretty good guitarist and singer, with a penchant for parody (his last band was The Cartridge Family). In 1986, finally married, he moved to the Valley of the Sun. It was a joyful and successful move.
Georgene Lockwood has written about everything from car racing and computers to weddings and comic books, in a 20-year writing career.

Lockwood has covered auto racing for the Associated Press and has written for the Skip Barber Racing School. She is a member of the International Motor Press Association and the Madison Avenue Sports Car Driving and Chowder Society.
An interest in American social history and handcrafts is reflected in much of Georgene Lockwood's recent work. She's the author of Your Victorian Wedding: A Modern Guide for the Romantic Bride (Prentice-Hall), and her work has appeared in Working Woman, Modern Bride, Victorian Decorating and Lifestyles, Country Decorator and Lady's Circle Patchwork Quilts.
Lockwood writes about computers, specializing in hardware and telecommunications, and has written for such technical publications as Computerworld, Computer Graphics World and Computer Decisions. She is a CompuServe sysop, has lectured widely on the use of online services, and has taught journalism at the university level.
An avid target shooter, Lockwood is working on Pistol Packin' Mamas, a book about the history of women and firearms in America. Lockwood is the founder and current president of the Arizona chapter of the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and is a member of the Authors' Guild and the American History Association.
