Are there any lawyers out there who might be interested in being present / involved in an open carry group / movement / meeting / whatever? Please let us know.

As long as that's an invisibility shield which is locked and fully enclosed then you should be okay!P.s. I'm here at the starbucks now, (carrying) security has passed me by 3 times so far and a cop passed about 15 ft away from me, cops passed bad ace and I a few times while we were here the past 2 weeks without incident. There may be a firearm invisibility shield here that i am unaware of
That firearms invisibility shield you speak of is called 'Condition White'. It means people all around you are in a state of oblivion, not taking heed of their surroundings. I think this is pretty common for average folks in any setting. Their eyes may seea firearm on your hip,but theirbrain is registering it as aPDA, a mobile phone, or a camera case.Theysimply dont expect it.The fact that security and police havent taken notice only reveals the gaping hole in their powers of observation.Great! I think we would all be thankful if you made it out.

So, fearless leaders (I refer to dirtykoala and bad_ace; you guys are leading the way, as I'm sure you realize) what's the final word on the meeting time? Looks like the votes are for 13:30 on Sun. I plan to be there at that time, but I would like confirmation from dirtykoala / bad_ace that 13:30 on Sun is the time / place. Guys?

^ This. Definately. Yes.I may post the verbage, so everyone knows what happened,...
A complete ban on BB/pellet guns? Even spring guns? (I don't know if they even make them anymore, but when I was a kid we had guns that shot soft plastic BBs via spring power with a range of about 20 feet....
I know I mentioned the Palo Alto restriction on possessing firearms, so I looked it up:
