A fundraising dinner and live auction is scheduled for Friday, August 21, 2026, to support The Legal Fund to Restore 2nd Amendment Rights & Open Carry in California.

The event will take place at the Anderson VFW Hall (3210 W Center St., Anderson).

Organizers highlight a recent historic victory in Baird v. Bonta, where the Ninth Circuit ruled that California’s ban on open carry violates the Constitution.
