OK...I'm new here and haven't searched the forums yet, so don't flame me too badly.
I'm new to this idea of Unloaded Open Carry. I live in a portion of CA that does not issue CCW permits to the average law abiding citizen. I have a Utah non-resident CCW card that covers me when I travel out of state, but that does me no good in my home town and working environment. This issue of UOC intrigues me a bit, but I don't fully understand it. Is it not illegal to have a sidearm worn on your person with a loaded magazine readily accessible? Could someone please explain this theory to me? I would see no point in carrying a weapon around that was not loaded and unable to have live rounds on my person. Sorry to be confused, but this is new to me.
Thanks
