Lead
The California-facing item is CRPA: bipartisan support for "a good idea," still a no in Sacramento. The pool is title-only. No bill number, vote, or effective date, so this is counter talk, not a DROS, roster, or transfer-process change. The dealer-action item is NSSF Gun Storage Check Week, also in Shooting Industry, coinciding with National Suicide Prevention Month. Fresh product flow is a Vortex Venom enclosed green-dot option, Winchester Super Match competition ammo, and Gun Warden display hardware. Yesterday’s AB 2047 printer-bill note, Osight MOS glass, Vortex VMR-5, WOOX grip, and Colt VMR review are not re-briefed. No USCCA or Delta Defense item. No dated vote or two-week deadline in the titles.

Sacramento is the only California policy headline, and it is title-only. The floor action today is storage-check week plus display hardware, not a roster handgun. Product flow is enclosed-dot glass and match ammo; the APX A1 Ported stays off the civilian case until you can confirm a legal transfer path.
