I can say that I would honestly be surprised if he does not veto the bill. The open carry movement has had a fiar bit of media attention and he should be aware of it. I think he won't sign because of the massive can of worms that will open, people OCing ARs and shotguns, the massive amount of law suits that will be filed etc. And honestly, if it does pass, I think that CA will be forced into becoming shall issue, after we get our foot in the door we might get loc choice w/ permit. Since CCW is more "socially acceptable" it will be easier to get, and then like I said, we will have our foot in the door. But at the same time I do think if we loose OC now we might loose it for a very long time if we go shall issue for CCW, since we would have one method of carry to satisfy the 2nd amendment, which is good enough for most of the politicians.

I'm no lawyer but I'm thinking what if the bill is signed and then things proceed to court as expected what is to prevent the court from saying that you have long gun carry and that has some sort of historical significance and long gun carry now satisfies your 2A rights in CA? Then we end up with no open carry or shall issue permit system. Just a thought that poped into my head.

I suspect that as soon as JB signs this bill into law, a suit will be filed before the ink dries.
Because he said in his amicus in McDonald that he supports regulation of guns, I think there is a small chance he will veto it.

You have a point. However, I doubt that will be the case since the government doesn't want people walking around with ARs and shotguns. They would much rather go shall issue if you ask me. What might happen if ab 144 becomes law is that people will start OCing long guns, which will proptly get law makers working to kill that too, and at the same time there will be many 2A law suites regarding the ban of open carry. Thus forcing shall issue, but at the same time we will likely lose long gun OC.

...what is to prevent the court from saying that you have long gun carry and that has some sort of historical significance and long gun carry now satisfies your 2A rights in CA?

If you read the majority opinion of Heller, the Supreme Court speaks of how the handgun is the quintessential defensive weapon. The court also says one has the right to keep a firearm for purposes of self-defense. It'd make a great deal more sense if the courts ruled that handgun carry fulfills the defensive purposes more than long-gun carry.

From Heller:
It is enough to note, as we have observed, that the American people have considered the handgun to be the quintessential self-defense weapon. There are many reasons that a citizen may prefer a handgun for home defense: It is easier to store in a location that is readily accessible in an emergency; it cannot easily be redirected or wrestled away by an attacker; it is easier to use for those without the upper-body strength to lift and aim a long gun; it can be pointed at a burglar with one hand while the other hand dials the police. Whatever the reason, handguns are the most popular weapon chosen by Americans for self-defense in the home, and a complete prohibition of their use is invalid.

But how will we protect ourselves.....?

Yes, provided no one is storming the sheriff's office in camoflage with a long gun (ie: everyone is 'dressed for church' and acts responsibly.)
Without our ability to OC our handguns we have no choice but to strap our Assault weapons and tactical shotguns to ourselves for self protection until our CCWs are processed and issued!

I realize that this must be somewhat tongue-in-cheek (even without a smilely), but for those who take this seriously; Sheriffs offices are considered 'public buildings' and a violation of 171b would negate any media attention garnered by large numbers of people applying for a license to carry concealed in accordance to California law.

If the governor signs AB144 into law I will be forced to carry my AR or my tactical shotgun to protect myself and my family (Not somewhat tongue in cheek......due to the non issuance of CCW in various CA counties at present!) I have managed to practice making both ready in about 3 - 4 seconds under stress conditions......I have tactical slings for both weapons and am certain that in any event of criminal intentions of a bg he / she will be met with serious firepower which is far superior to their hidden handgun that they will be illegally concealing.
I have been to various public building meetings and although firearms are prohibited various OCers have arrived empty holster carrying which basically shows the gun owners are present minus their firearms. Not ideal but as a protest it can be pretty useful...just a thought.

Carrying your AR variant after AB144 is enacted will make you exceedingly popular with police and alienate a couple factions of the 'gun rights are civil rights' California contingent. These facts will more or less necessitate making preparations towards a rather expensive legal defense should you be arrested- the likelihood of which is magnified by police ignorance of the nuances of California legal AR builds.

I would wager many if not most metro police departments will look at your slung AR and determine that you are carrying an illegal assault weapon and be unmoved by the presentation of a flow-chart as they seize it and place you in their patrol car.

If you gave me a choice between your AR and the shotgun, it would be the shotgun.

Personally, I think it would be more advantageous to seek some means to loaded open carry handguns, and risk arrest for that, than to blow up EBR's with this move.

I will take that as good advice and will resort to Open carrying my tactical shotgun......I have a great lawyer btw would love to see Loaded open carry handguns for citizens as its good enough for PD so surely is good enough for law abiding citizens

Tactically speaking LUCC is probably a better choice then long gun carry, being inconspicuous means you may have an advantage, but loading time for both is probably close to the same amount of time. say somewhere between 3-8 seconds.

Unless your goal is to scare people into believing your way is the right way. My guess is this wont help our cause it may hurt it especially in the short run. I dont think the NRA wants to get into an argument a battle over long gun carry in metropolitan areas, thats a no win argument for most of the sheeple in America. A planned demonstration with LE and media participating is probably a better tactical use of getting the message out. Doing it by yourself will probably only give more overtime to the SWAT teams. JMHO.

I wrote to the governor asking him to veto it shortly after it passed both houses, but as a Nevadan, my opinion probably doesn't matter much.

However, if you on foot and are not traveling between the places that the law specifies a locked case provides an exemption to 12025, then LUCC would not be legal, it seems.

Other options are concealed unloaded carry with a gun with a barrel over 16 inches that is not designed to be interchanged with a barrel of shorter length. Hypothetically, a gun could exist that had a barrel that long when the gun itself is only like 17 inches or so.

Unfortunately LUCC isn't an option .....for many of us law abiding gun owners....yet

Tactically speaking LUCC is probably a better choice then long gun carry, being inconspicuous means you may have an advantage, but loading time for both is probably close to the same amount of time. say somewhere between 3-8 seconds.

Unless your goal is to scare people into believing your way is the right way. My guess is this wont help our cause it may hurt it especially in the short run. I dont think the NRA wants to get into an argument a battle over long gun carry in metropolitan areas, thats a no win argument for most of the sheeple in America. A planned demonstration with LE and media participating is probably a better tactical use of getting the message out. Doing it by yourself will probably only give more overtime to the SWAT teams. JMHO.
If the UOC ban is implemented LUCC isn't an option at the present time until its put into law and we can all carry either openly or concealed loaded....I am not worried about SWAT teams getting called in "MWAG oops MWABBNTR (Man with a Big Black Nasty Tactical Rifle) or shotgun" I always carry my videocam and audio devices running at all times. I'm just interested in not becoming a victim in the event of one of the bad guys confronting myself or my family in the event of not being able to UOC and remembering that due to cut backs in California the PD are shorthanded and the prisons are releasing thousands of non violent (reoffenders?) back into our community. I'm not attempting to scare people and have never done in the years of daily open carrying ...if that is someones agenda then they are the one's who need SWAT intervention and not me....the Sheeple can all become victims of their own doing but I for one will not become a victim under any circumstance. My load time for both my AR or my shotgun is pretty respectfully around 3-4 seconds....obviously while taking cover from the marauding attackers lol. Long gun carry is not at all what UOC is all about as most people know, but we may be forced by legislation to do that " our founding fathers turning in their graves no doubt!!!" if that is the case.

Paranoid much? Understand the laws of probability much? I bet you buy lotto tickets. And you yourself said those to be released are non-violent...
