Hello all, I'm new to UOC and new to Firearm ownership.
First off, I have been interested in weapons in general (swords, knives, pistols, rifles, etc...etc). I finally purchased my first pistol [Taurus 24/7 .40 S&W].
While waiting for the 10-day hold to be over, I have read up on all the gun laws and everything related. This is how I found out about UOC. I am very excited about being able to carry a weapon without having some kind of license, following the laws of course, because I read how hard it was to get a CCW, and would prefer to UOC.
Being in a bankrupt city, our police force has diminished. I have been around a few incidents where me or one of my friends have called the police for a crime being committed, and have gotten something along the lines of "We are extremely busy at the monment, and will get a patrol car over there ASAP." While sitting there watching someone(s) break the law, we either never see a LEO show up, of they come after the incident is over.
I have read everything on californiaopencarry.org that I can find. I then purchased a holster I liked. But I have one question about the holster, it is a Blackhawk Nylon, with a pocket attached to it for a magazine. My question is: would this be considered "attached" and considered "loaded" if I were to get 12031(e) checked?
(not a Blackhawk, but the exact same)
I also had another question: has anyone UOC around this area, and dealt with the Vallejo police?
I work for the City of Vallejo, and see many LEO's. I also see the Chief, Traffic Admin and Patrol Admin periodically, and know them by first name basis. I will be handing them the info from californiaopencarry.org, and letting them know I, personally, will be UOC most of the time I'm out and about, and that I will encourage my friends to also.
Also, one more question: I'm still unsure about UOC while in a motor vehicle. I own a pickup, and still lock the weapon in a container in the back seat. Could someone clarify if the weapon has to be contained and locked, or how to UOC while driving a vehicle.
Thank you all for the information, and the willingness to exercise our rights.
