I understand that a new bill has been put forth that is basically a rehash of the late not-so-great Saldana's bill from last year. As far as I understand it in my limited capacities it would effectively "ban the open carriage of an unwieldy piece of metal or plastic that could with sometime be used as a firearm."
A lot of people both on calguns, Reponsible Citizens of California, and here seem to think that this bill needs to be destroyed and annihilated where it stands.
I however would like to put forth a secondary opinion in regards to this matter.
We all thought that Peruta was going to change the CCW laws and make them become shall issue. However we see that through Judge Gonzales' ruling she believed the liberal hype that an unloaded firearm is adequate self defense. She thus stated that open carry is a viable alternative and thus the citizens are still permitted self defense. As I understand it a notice of appeal has been filed in regards to this case.
If AB144 were allowed to pass it would completely take away this option as a viable self defense option. Thus it would appear that this would allow Peruta to change the CCW laws and will force the state to start issuing CCW's to everyone who met the basic requirements.
I see this as being a victory not just for OC but specifically for 2A in general. Once the CCW becomes shall issue then a lot of these liberal sheriff's and politicians who are afraid of their own shadow, much less a law abiding citizen with a gun would feel forced to go back and adopt some form of open carry to negate the CCW law being changed.
With continued pressure and continued effort we stand a chance of getting LOC out of the deal in the end.
That is just my opinion for what it is worth, let me know what you all think.
