i Live and open carry in Long Beach. Just moved back from Huntington Beach. Never had a problem in LB or HB. I have spoken to HBPD personally about the issue and the general tone in HBPD is favorable from what i have been told. I have began asking and teaching local managers of stores about open carrying. I can pretty much open carry without incident, into any store within walking distance of my house. I often go to
Stater bros to purchase produce and things. I feel much safer with my 1911.
God forbid, it need to come out. There are a few shady characters in parts of LB. I should not have to feel like a prisoner at home just because the police are overwhelmed. I think open carry is great for this city, it ups the caution and respect people have toward one another. Takes a burden off the police force when there is less crime being reported. There are way more decent people here in LB than bad guys.
