My name is Johnny and I just recently joined this forum, but I think it's a great forum with a lot of good info!
So, after reading several pages I decided to call the SJPD today and asked about UOC.
What the officer on the other end of the phone told me was that it is totally legal to carry an unloaded, unconcealed gun in a belt holster. I then asked him about Ammo and he said I was not allowed to carry any ammo on my self while carrying a gun, that would be considered a loaded gun and would be a felony and I would be arrested.
After that I called the Sheriff's department and asked the same questions. The officer on the other end also told me that it is totally legal to carry a unloaded unconcealed gun in a belt holster on my belt. I then also asked about ammo and got a different answer, he said I could carry ammo on myself, even in a loaded magazine as long as the magazine was not inserted in the magazine well. He also told me that the magazine can not be concealed in any way, it has to be clearly visible. He added that if my shirt or backpack or any thing else even partially covered the gun it would be considered concealed. He also pointed out that there are a lot of criminals out there that are looking for ways to illegally get a hold of free guns and If I'm carrying a gun I could become a target for such criminals. I should be careful who I am around and who is close to me when I carry a gun.
How come I get two different answers from the SJPD and from the Sheriffs department?
