That was on CGN a while back. I registered on that forum but didn't post anything. The LEOs posting from CA just don't get it and probably won't until it's explained to them by a federal judge at their losing lawsuit.
Edit: I just posted this.

For those who are not in CA, he is actually not far off the mark.....
I will try and reiterate what others from this state have already brought up, but has been ignored by several posters from 'open carry' friendly states......
In 'open carry' states, carrying a loaded weapon in plain sight is legal.....
That DOES NOT apply in CA......carrying a handgun (loaded or unloaded) is, on its face, ILLEGAL in CA except under certain specified circs.....
Carrying a concealed handgun (loaded or unloaded) is almost ALWAYS illegal unless you have a CCW......
Carrying an exposed handgun while loaded in a public place (for the most part) is also ALWAYS illegal.....carrying a handgun in public is only permitted is the weapon is unloaded (and there are also numerous laws that would make it illegal in ALL circumstances)
None of us made the laws.....many of us also dont agree with the laws as written.....the 'powers that be' could also care less what we think.....they expect us to enforce the laws......
As far as not rolling to a radio call, that wont fly with my agency....we have a policy that we SHALL respond to any and all calls for service, and we SHALL handle them to completion.....no questions asked, no opinion on the policy asked for or received.....
As I have posted in several other threads on this subject, this is going to result in MORE stringent gun control in this state, not less......more than a few of our polititcians have publicly (and proudly) stated that they feel the general public have NO RIGHT to own firearms at all......"
LA DEP, this isn't directed toward you, but towards all of the CA LEOs that just don't get it. After you climb down off of your egos and aren't too dizzy, read this:
