Are you suggesting that a .38 can fire 9mm ammo? If that's the case, then you couldn't have the 9mm I suppose. I also wasn't aware this was possible.I mean can not carry. The law says capable of being discharged, so the person with the .38 would be in violation whether he had .38 ammo or 9mm

Along the same lines, I've seen both a .40S&W HK USPc and a .40 S&W Sig P229 both happilly fire an entire magazine of 9mm. That very likely meets the definition of 'capable' too bad it doesn't say 'intended'While I am no expert on revolver ammunition, I do know that there are differences between semi-auto shells and revolver shells.
A .357 revolver will accept .38 revolver ammuntion without any problems.
A 9mm semi-automatic will successfully accept and fire at least the first .380 round. It might not have enough power to rack the slide and chamber the next round though, depending on the gun.
.380 is not the same as .38 even though the diameter is exactly the same. 9mm measures the same in diameter as the .380 and the .38.
OK so im a little lost, ive been a gun owner since i was kid getting my first .410. But i never knew this was legal in california. So let me get this right as a law abiding citizen i can legaly open carry my 45acp with the ammunition seperate from the gun??? Yes.
And whats the deal with the tape recorder i am reading all over the fourm people keeping a tape recorder with them? To document any interaction with the public or law enforcement. You never know when someone will decide to falsely accuse/arrest you or otherwise just violate your rights.
Also can city law over power the state law that allows open carry? Localities have very little authority to restrict the carry of firearms, as state law preempts local law.
for example can a city ban open carry inside there city limits all together? No. But they could ban firearms on city property (e.g. fair grounds, the city hall lawn, etc).
