A recent email from CRPA regarding the Peruta case was brought to my attention today.
I was surprised to see them taking plays right from the Brady Bunch by making personal opinions appear as "obvious" "facts" without any actual evidence to support them.

I'm really curious to see the studies and evidence that shows that open carrying in CA increases your risk of injury or death over any other weapon carry method.
I'd venture that common reason would hold that far more people have been hurt and injured while concealing firearms in CA then open carrying; criminal gang activity. While it may not be relevant to the point, it highlights that the CRPA statements are IN FACT not true.

Appeal Filed in Lawsuit Challenging San Diego CCW Policies
12/27/10
....
In a nutshell, the District Court held that since California law allows unloaded open carry of handguns, rather than needing a CCW to defend yourself you can carry unloaded and openly, then act pursuant to a California law that requires you to wait until you are about to be attacked, then load your firearm. Obviously, that is not an effective way to exercise your fundamental, individual constitutional right to defend yourself, nor to bear a firearm under the Second Amendment. In fact, as a self-defense strategy, it's a risky tactic that might get you hurt or killed.
