While transporting a handgun in a 'glorified manbag' is not for you, your unwillingness to consider it, Yep I'm afraid manbags are for carrying tampons and lipstick not guns and about a dozen other options Do these include unloaded handguns not in manbags? besides carrying an unloaded shotgun You had recommended my carrying the shotgun as opposed to the AR previously and on your advice I opt for the shotgun daily with my AR secured in my truck or AR pattern rifle to the grocery store has some predictable and measurable consequences. To date no consequences (no police drawing down on me, no arrests, no PD interaction at all ...guess I'm more stealthy than I thought) other than the great unarmed being shocked that I have a shotgun on a tactical sling while going about my daily business...(must admit only a handful of citizens have approached me and asked questions but while handgun carrying). I had hundreds of contacts mostly complementary whilst OUC handguns the odd anti hated me and all that guns stand for ... but you can't please all the people all of the time I guess Not the least of which, is burning bridges among the second amendment bretheren and organizations that have the resources to propel change in California. The responsibility of getting along is not linear- it goes both ways. Well as "Rome wasn't built in a day" I'll keep carrying my (il)legally mandated weapons until the 'second amendment bretheren and organizations that have the resources to propel change in California' The notion that lawmakers would be forced to accept CCW/LTC reform if they prohibit long gun open carry originates from the same place the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and unicorns come from. So I guess the the 2nd amendment is really a superfluous right considering that the Easter bunny, tooth fairy and unicorns reside in the same area When confronted with handgun UOC, the issuing agencies didnt roll over and begin issuing CCW/LTC in an abrupt change of heart. Because we still had the option of self defense with Long guns Instead, they teamed up with the legislators and made a new law. How do you think the dimensions of the firearm are going to change the dynamic without jurisprudence affirming 'bear' in the state of California? If you do not have the 'right' to holster an unloaded handgun, what makes you think you have the 'right' to sling an AR in those same places? Until the 2nd amendment is removed from the constitution "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" gives me the rightThe fact is, at present you don't have any such right (and in part, it is the condition the weapon is in, that makes it less than constitutionally inviolate.) 'Transportation' and 'bear' are mutually exclusive.Ultimately, I believe you will have to revisit the exemptions to 26350, perhaps before the end of the next legislative session. I also think that the exploitation of the exemptions will have the benefit of being sucessfully demonstrated between now and then.
