unless Governor Brown vetoes AB 144, citizens will be forced to carry long guns in urban areas instead of holstered handguns, the norm across the United States. Under Portantino’s bill, citizens would be required to open carry shotguns or rifles in public places like Ralph’s grocery stores, Starbucks, sidewalks, streets, and other public places from San Francisco to San Diego. “I don’t know what Portantino is thinking,” says John Pierce, Co-founder of OpenCarry.org.
“if Portantino wants guns out of sight, his bill is going to backfire,” adds Pierce. “Places like Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade will look like a moving gun show when parents shoulder AR-15s and double-barreled shotguns while taking their kids out for ice cream.”

All eyes now are on Governor Brown, a gun owner who is proud of his nickname "Governor Moonbeam." If Brown does not veto AB 144, he may soon earn the nickname "Governor Long Gun."
