I was going to post this as a reply to the thread about the California politician wanting to ban open carry of unloaded guns. But thought it would be a hijack there, so I'm starting a new thread.
Open carry of an unloaded gun is a nice gesture, but "an unloaded gun is a rock." Carrying an unloaded gun is having the "right" without the reason people carry a gun. (i.e. self-defense.)
Political action for gun rights in California may make tiny inroads, but it's like banging one's head against the wall.
Got your serial-numbered bullets yet?
I lived in California for decades. Got out and moved to Wyoming because California is becoming a communist country, fast.
Whenever I mention this, people say "Well, that's nice for you, but I have (family, job, house, etc.) keeping me here."
My moving wasn't just throwing some clothes in a backpack and jumping on a Greyhound. It was the biggest move I've ever made.
First I had to convince my wife (that wasn't easy, but she LOVES Wyoming now and can't believe she ever lived in California). We had to put the house up for sale there, find a house here, find jobs here, hire a moving van, drive it, get settled here. It cost a lot of money and it was a LOT of work, but first I just had to get over the thought that things were "keeping" us there.
Money goes farther here too. There's no state income tax, sales tax is low, and everything's less expensive.
If you value liberty, GET OUT OF THAT PLACE! California really is horrible. Not just for loss of rights, but the economy is only going to get worse, and crime is only going to go up.
While California's politicians are trying to outlaw open carry of unloaded guns, Wyoming's state legislature just passed a law that will allow arresting federal officers who interfere with in-state gun manufacture and sales. Our Governor says he's likely to sign it into law. And he's a Democrat.
There are a few other states worth living in. They mostly border Wyoming.

Fun video of me and the wife shooting a gun you cannot legally own in California. Shooting it on public land, not at a pay-money-and-sign-a-release-form range populated by gangbangers like where we shot in California.
