find the article here by Charles Nichols

http://www.examiner.com/la-in-los-angeles/concealed-carry-of-handguns-imminent

In denying the motion to dismiss, the Court found on the question:
1) The Right to Bear Arms - "The Supreme Court's decision in Heller made it clear - for the first time - that the Second Amendment guarantees "the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation." "The US Supreme Court did not hold that all concealed weapon bans are presumptively constitutional because in those states which had enacted a ban on concealed carry the people had a right to openly carry loaded handguns and "...unlike California there is a ready alternative available to the affected individuals - the right to carry weapons openly if they cannot obtain a concealed weapon's permit."

Thanks for that ryanburbridge!

That was a good article. The author's opinion seems logical.

Thanks for posting it. Either way, I will be happy. LOC or concealed is fine by me.

LOC and concealed without permit is fine with me. Like I told Santa....."I want it all".

I feel there is little difference between LOC and concealed, except someone might see my firearm. I would LOC on the street and in my car, and carry concealed when I went into a business.
