I am interested in forming an Open Carry group in Central Orange County CA.
If you are interested please respond to this post or private message.
Toxic,
Welcome to the California OCDO forum.
If you are interested in getting together with other open carriers you might consider performing a member search or searching the forums for activity near where you are so you can locate veterans who have a handle on the ins and outs.
Because of the nature of the questions you are asking on the forum, I think it is probably premature for you to form a group/club/meet up. Please click the link in my signature line and make sure you have a complete understanding of the applicable code and the 'Newbie Thread' before you pursue open carry either solo or as a group.
