LGO OFFICAL SUPPORT LIST

This support list is the result of multiple years of interacting with the online gun reality. The following support recommendations are based upon the general conduct of the included people, businesses, and organizations. They have been included as worthy of support due to a bare minimum of apolitical or liberal-friendly conduct. Many of the entities on this list have also displayed a version of sensitivity to the greater social reality – which is rare for the gun community.

When you support the entities on this list, it is our conclusion that you are assisting the effort to move the gun-reality into the twenty-first century. This movement is critical for any sustainable improvement for any gun-related issue, we argue.

Please note that you are likely to not see certain established people or organizations that are considered in our cultural peer group, center-to-left. Please do not assume that because someone is left-of-center, or from a marginalized community, that they are worthy of our support or recommendation automatically. Conduct is what matters. “Toxic patriotism” and regressive mentalities on the right are not the only gun-culture negatives. There are gun personalities and associated organizations from the Leftist, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC reality that can also be abusive, gaslighting, manipulative, disingenuous, hypocritical, conspiratorial, and adversarial towards liberals or certain people.  Please do not contact us about adding center-to-left groups that you do not see on the list. We are monitoring the behavior of the groups in question and may include them in the future if these groups show an evolution in conduct. The poor actors are far in the minority as it relates to our our cultural peers. Yet, some of the worst dirt comes from some of the biggest or most popular groups.

If you are center-to-left, and you do not see some of your favorite, left-of-center groups or personalities, you can assume that their exclusion from the list it is not an accident. 

This list is adjustable and will be updated as we see fit.

**Please note that listings in our “Lib-Gunner Community” section are not always entities that are in the LGO Community proper. They may just be entities that are proximate to our vibe, that we are recommending you check out.**

**Please note that. if you are a member of The Liberal Gun Club, they have an internal list of lib-friendly instructors and gun ranges that you can request to see.**

**Please note that the ultimate responsibility for vetting these entities lies with you.**
