When Kindness Leads to Opportunity: The Origin Story of California Gun Services

Posted on: March 10, 2023 Category: Company News Written By: Jeff McCabe, Owner

The Origin Story of California Gun Services

Every company has a story behind its creation. For California Gun Services, the story begins with a simple act of kindness that led the company’s owner, Jeff, to discover a growing need in his community. It all started while Jeff was working at his first business venture, a family-owned painting company.

While at a client’s house, as Jeff and his dad were preparing the bedroom before starting to paint, the client warned them that her late husband had left behind several firearms underneath the bed before he passed away. She confided in Jeff that the guns had been there for a while because she didn’t know what to do with them, but that she didn’t feel safe with them in the house, especially with her grandchildren around. Jeff knew he had to help.

Navigating Safety and Legal Aspects of Gun Disposal in California

Thankfully Jeff’s upbringing around guns gave him a solid foundation in gun safety. When it came to the legal aspects of gun disposal though, Jeff knew he had some work to do. Knowing that California’s gun laws are complex and detailed, Jeff knew he had to do his due diligence. He went into research mode, spending several hours researching California’s gun and ammo laws relating to ownership, transportation, and disposal. Through his research and dedication, he was able to provide a clear course of action for gun disposal.

Jeff took on the responsibility of handling the guns and ammunition at every step of the process. He worked with local law enforcement throughout the process to ensure that the guns were disposed of legally. Further, he completed all the legal paperwork documenting that the guns had been disposed of properly.

A Company Born Out of a Need

The client was extremely grateful for Jeff’s attention to detail and dedication to understanding the laws around firearm disposal. She told all her friends at church about how Jeff had helped her. Word quickly spread, and Jeff started receiving calls from people all over California, asking for his assistance in getting rid of their inherited guns safely and legally. It was clear that there was a need for this kind of service, and California Gun Services was born.

About Jeff McCabe

My name is Jeff McCabe and I am a local business owner/family who was born and raised in Orange County. I believe that we as Americans have a great privilege to be able to own a firearm but with that comes an even greater responsibility to not only protect ourselves legally by complying with Federal and State laws, but to protect our neighbors and most importantly, our children from potential dangers. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to help family, friends, and customers, earning a reputation at church and in the community for helping others stay legal and safe. My main goal in starting this company is to assist people who find themselves with a firearm and aren’t sure what to do with it.
