By banning the open carry of handguns effective January 1, 2012, Governor Jerry Brown wants us to carry long guns for the defense of ourselves and our community, and we are happy to oblige. Get your rifles and shotguns out of the closet and polished up, It's Coming Out Day October 22, 2011!

Southern California event will be at high noon, October 22, in Pacific Beach at the end of Felspar Street on the bluff above the beach. Come and meet like minded individuals and then maybe grab lunch at a local business. Besides your weapon(s) bring along anyone who cares about freedom to celebrate Jerry Brown pushing us to do the right thing. But leave the camouflage at home, please.

See www.responsiblecitizensofcalifornia.org for information on the northern California meetup on that same date, or search facebook for "Long Guns Coming Out Meetup".

Carry on!

I would suggest a much less organized, "decentralized" type of day....instead of making it easy for your rights to be violated at the same time or for the police to hassle all of you in one spot. OC ALL across the city/area, can you imagine the resources just 25 people carrying long guns at the same time, across the town would take up?? Make it hard on them, not easy. Let them decide if they want to divert resources for every man with a long gun call, let them decide if its worth the overtime!

I won't be able to make it, I've already got a lot going on that day. But regardless I have not decided whether or not I'm going to LGUOC. I would say this though, include handgun open carriers, not just long gunners. AB144 is not in effect yet, so carry on!

ETA: I really hope its a successful event, responding to their tyranny is a must.

I don't think you fully understand just how entrenched the socialist, progressive left is in this state. Its much worse than you may realize. Our only recourse is in the courts, but not just any court, only the select few courts where you actually have half a chance.

A prediction from afar:

Y'all get enough folks open carrying long guns out there to get well noticed, and there will simply soon be another bill to ban that too.

"You better not do _______, because if you do, they'll write a law banning it!"

You must be some kind of intellectual heavyweight to come up with an argument like that. Because what you are advocating for is, in and of itself, a de facto ban. Except that it's not a ban that exists in the real world, enforced under the threat of violence; it's a ban that exists only in the minds of those who voluntarily agree to it. If I had more "friends" like you, I wouldn't need any enemies. No, I prefer my tyranny to come in the form of men and women wearing suits and robes, who sit up on a dias, and wield pens and gavels. The State, in other words. I know those people are not my friends. I don't need anyone calling themselves my friends telling me to create tyrannies in my own mind. No, thank you, I will go about my business as a free human being without any such chains being placed on me, voluntarily or otherwise.

My reasons for carrying a firearm are entirely rational and any argument against my doing so are doomed to failure. I know this because I am the only person in existence who is responsible for my own safety. I would carry an AR-15 for the same reasons that I would carry a .45, except that carrying a .45 has now been declared a criminal act. The reasons for doing so have not changed, but they do now take on an extra emphasis as a form of political protest. Surely you would not blame a person for exercising their right to freedom of speech?

I will also not accept guilt for the irrational feelings and actions of others. I do not own them, or their feelings, or their bodies or their minds. Blaming me for the irrational feelings of another when they see me carrying a firearm is like blaming a black person for the irrational feelings of a racist. Any irrational action to any action of mine is the responsibility of the actor, not mine. Nobody is to blame for laws against the free exercise of openly carrying guns, except for those who actually wrote the laws. I do not possess the power to enact any law that may be enforced by a body of armed men; that power lies solely in the State and its agents, and I can assure you that I would never pretend to have anything to do with that organization of criminals.

Yep. "A Right Unexercised is a Right Lost", or you lose it through exercising that right. Does one way feel better than the other?

Sorry to be such a pessimist, but I (like most folks with a even shred of libertarian bent) see Kali as lost cause, and not just on 2A issues.

Enjoy NH -- that's a certainly a more realistic response.

So what's the point of having the ability to do something if you never do it?


JoeGlock, did you ever consider that the cops are only dealing with these MWAG calls because they choose to? They can show up, see everything is fine and leave. They are the ones who make a big fuss over it. No laws are being broken.

Love the video and the meetup. Sorry I'm in Florida.

The gun community has a ton of "battered wives", doesn't it? "They'll just ban that, too. Don't make him mad or he'll beat me again."

Give me a break...Carry on!

Geeeez Joe, why the wall of text. Use paragraphs. use spell check, too. Don't do text, either.

Or else, Calgun folks might believe Zonies are a bunch of badass gunslingers living in the wild west...

You may think them idiots (I do not), but at the very least they are free idiots doing patriots work, for which we should give praise not insults.

As you say they may well ban long guns, but then I believe California will be awash with crossbow open carry. When those are banned, there will be many compound bows being carried. When those are banned people will carry pitchforks and pikes. When those are banned people will carry baseball bats.

Sometime in this process people will actually give up their loaded long guns, bullets first.

Joeglock 40, did you know a guy named JAGWAG?

I, too, think that Kali (as a political entity) is a lost cause, but that doesn't mean that all the people of Kali are unworthy of support.

Any bill that would ban the OC of long guns will hopefully wake up the Fudds and the panty wringers at CalGuns to actually stand up to the infringement of rights in Kali. (I can dream happy thoughts, can't I?)

Love the "battered" concept and your illustrated point! Gonna have to use this one myself!

So who is going? I'm really considering attending this. My wife doesn't want me to bring my 4 year old daughter to a LGOC meetup even though i regularly bring her to handgun UOC events.
She isn't worried about my fellow open carriers but rather some overly zealous public servant seeing our long guns and firing on us. I tried to explain to her that law enforcement will not be surprised to see us since i'm sure they monitor this forum and RCOC has made the event no secret.
She still won't budge.

Now to find a babysitter.
