Just a thought. Why don't we demand that the city/county/ whatever be required to do the measuring of school zones and put up signs so we don't violate it. It is their law

Advice: Find out if there's anybody from your area, get together with them for coffee or something, and have them explain the laws and OC in depth. Then get them to take you out for an OC outing. Much better than trying to figure it out and do it all by your lonesome.

Edit: It would really help if I could spell. Can't figure out why I keep writing 'and' instead of 'an'.

Hey Everyone...

The Orange County Sheriff Department just released a training bulletin on Open Carry.

Check it out. http://www.allsafedefense.com/Articles/OpenCarryOCSheriff0209.pdf

By the way, I would love to help organize this movement in the OC.
This training bulletin is erroneous in two respects.

First, stating that loaded gun carry is prohobited on all public streets and inside vehicles on them. The loading in vehicles or on roads prohibition only applies to incorporated areas under People v. Knight and its progeny.

Second, it states that load checks imply right to demand ID and run background checks under Hiibel - wrong. Hiible only applies to states with stop and ID checks. Further, under Hiibel, state stop and ID statutes are limited to persons seized upon reasonable suspicion of comitting a crime. Calif. does not have a stop and ID law, and load checks are not done pursuant to reasonable suspicion - they are a statutoty administrative inspection loudly silent on any duty to have or show ID.

Well, I'm in San Francisco, so I can do the whole "coffee and explain the laws" thing, if anybody likes. I've also wanted to organize an event in the Bay Area, but we're gaining members at a slow pace.

We don't. We continue to educate so that future memos are more accurate. Something to keep in mind is that back when these memos were first being published, they were a huge positive step for us in CA. Previous to this, most CA cops thought simply open carrying was a 12025 violation and carrying ammo was a 12031 violation. These memos corrected that. Now we're arguing finer details with them like 4A issues. We've got a long way to go (like getting entirely rid of 12031 and 626.9) but much progress has been made.
