📰 News we're reading

• Tri-Valley Indoor Gun Shop And Range Closing (patch.com) — Dublin residents are losing a long-standing indoor gun range and outdoor-gear shop as Guns, Fishing & Other Stuff prepares to close its Amador Plaza Road location after more than a decade. The family-owned business, once billed as Northern California’s largest firearms dealer, has not set a final closing date, but its departure will leave the Tri-Valley with fewer local options for hunting, fishing, and shooting supplies.
   

• Dublin's Prominent, Weirdly-Named Outdoors Store Is Closing Forever Bay Area Telegraph (bayareatelegraph.com) — A longtime Dublin fixture, Guns, Fishing & Other Stuff on Amador Plaza Road is closing in early 2026 as its owners retire, and the final day will depend on how fast inventory sells. Beyond the quirky name, many Tri-Valley residents will especially miss its rare public indoor shooting range, and there’s no word yet on what business might replace the large space.
   

• Trump targets funding for child care and hospitals, local dollars fill gaps (mercurynews.com) — Dublin families are feeling both the strain and support as federal cuts to child care and health programs push Alameda County to rely on Measure C sales tax funds, including a $75,000 grant to Dublin’s School of Imagination. Local parents and providers describe how these dollars are keeping child care options alive, even as looming Medi-Cal and social service reductions threaten wider Bay Area safety nets.
