Me and two other friends decided to go for a walk around the neighborhood (not a bad area) and decided to UOC. We have done a few walks like this and never been stopped. We usually go later on in the evening so not too many are around anyway.
Last night we get about twenty minutes into our walk and see a car approaching. Next thing we know, there is a spot light in our faces and a door opens. We stop in our tracks and put our hands on our heads and away from our guns. Managed to not record this (of course) but it went well.
First officer says something along the lines of "how's it goin?" I was in front so I answered. Said "Pretty good." He then asks if we have guns on us and I say yes. He tells us to put our hands up and turn around, this as two more cars approach.
We comply and turn around. They ask what's going on and I say "Unloaded Open Carry." I was actually impressed that they knew what it was and didn't go through the whole you need a license deal, I didn't have to educate them on the subject in other words, kind of nice.
They pull out our guns and do 12031 checks. Then came the illegal stuff, they illegally pulled out ID's, illegally searched us, and illegally ran the serial numbers of the guns. They returned the guns to us and told us to sit down on a fence that was behind us. They do pet checks on us and we come back clean.
Then came the usual lecture from the first cop about how it is our right but they'd rather we don't and so on, asking if we know how stupid it is to do this and all, I just politely said nothing and listened to this nonsense. Of the five responding guys, three were pretty cool and seemed rather pro second amendment, and one officer plus the sergeant had the attitude that only they should have guns. We got the whole "we could be doing a lot right now but were stuck with you guys, I'm gonna be gettin' calls all f****** night, and it will be a pain in my d***, so don't do it on my shift." We headed home after that and loaded up on the property and carried loaded legally!
Overall it did go well, the officers were fairly cordial in how they handled the situation even if a few illegal searches were made. I wa impressed that UOC has had this big an impact in CA, the memos and suchforth have made it to San Bernardino county. Oh and we actually had the whole department out there, only four officers plus the sergeant out here, and they were all with us, I did like that part.
