So I had a couple questions for ya'll, I am currently waiting for my CC permit in the mail, but in the mean time I need to know a couple of things.
Question 1:
I know that without a CCW permit, you can't have a firearm within 1000 feet of a school... I also know that you are allowed to carry in your car (as if it were your home). So I was wondering, are you allowed to carry in your car while driving past a school? or is that breaking the 1000 feet law? I'm wondering this, because its virtually impossible to drive in the city without coming within 1000 feet of a school, as there is some kind of school on just about every block as it seems.
Driving down State St you pass a school...
Driving down 300 W you pass a school...
Driving down 700 E you pass a school...
Driving down Foothill you pass a school...
etc...
My second question is whether or not IWB carry with the grip of the gun showing is considered Open Carry? I know the law pretty much says "if its open for the public to see and know you have it, its Open" And I'm 100% positive that people who see the butt know that its a gun ...However I would hate getting stopped by a cop and getting arrested for concealing without a permit, I would probably say something smart to the cop like "how the heck did you know I had it? because it was open and you could see it, duh"...
If anyone is knowledgeable on these two subjects, I would love to hear what you know. Thanks!
