Hey everyone,
I'm a new gun owner, and new here too. I just wanted to tell everyone about my brief and uneventful UOCjourneys I've had the past two days. First off yesterday when I got off work (I work at night), I strapped on my holster, S&W .40, with an empty magazine in the well, and a loaded magazine in the pouch and went to a little convenience storein my neighborhood. (just to buy lotto tickets). I was polite asked for the tickets, no one said anything to me about my side arm. Next I went to Home Depot, walked around there looking at stuff, and I bought some potassium for my water softener. No one said anything to me about my side arm. After that I went to the car dealership in my town (PERRIS,CA.) to set up an appointment for an oil change. Once again no problems, and no one said anything to me about my side arm. Though when I walked out the door I think they cracked a joke about "not wanting to make me mad" (I would guess because of the gun) BUT... I was very polite and respectful at all stops.
Today I was UOC ALL DAY. I stopped at the Chevron in Perris to fill up, and wash my truck. After that I went to the "CROSS ROADS GUN SHOW", at the Orange County Fair Grounds. It was UOC there as well. I walked around all day with my side arm. After that, on the way home, I stopped at the KFC in Sun City, Ca. to buy dinner. Once again NO ONE said anything to me about my side arm. MAYBE I just had a lucky day, and no problems to report. I thought it was kinda funny though at the GUN SHOW, they wouldn't allow me to take my camera inside... but they allowed my gun. LOL
12071.4(g) No person at a gun show or event, other than security
personnel or sworn peace officers, shall possess at the same time
both a firearm and ammunition that is designed to be fired in the
firearm. Vendors having those items at the show for sale or
exhibition are exempt from this prohibition.
It doesn't matter if the organizers of the show gave you the green light. Depending on where you parked, etc., you can potentially still be charged. Realistically, I very much doubt you will be, but it's stillbetter to carry your firearm in a locked container until you enter the gunshow's doors, just to be safe.OC4EVER,
LOL. Hey boss. I emailed the CROSS ROADS GUN SHOW and ASKED THEM if it was OK to UOC. They said.... ABSOLUTELY.
No disrepect, but don't tell me I DIDN"t DO MY HOMEWORK, before you ask. OK?
Oh, and I got out of my P/U with the gun strapped to my hip, walked right past an OC sheriff with it, and a couple of crusers idling.
Well done!! One thing about those google maps, some are as old as 2006 and 2007.Gundude,
Even before the 11 day waiting period was up, I was reading penal codes, and california firearms law. I have found out where all the local schools are and plot my driving routes accordingly when UOC. You can go on to google and pull up k12 schools in your area.
dirtykoala,
I don't go out LOOKING for trouble.
i would refuse to prone out until i was tazed.dirtykoala,
I didn't mean to sound defensive. I just have a tendency to get to the point. Sorry if it sounded that way. I have talked to several LEO's, and am around them quite often and have asked them what I could expect IF an echeck happened. I just hope it aint raining when I have to get down on my belly. LOL
dirtykoala,
well, there ya go. If that's not ASKING for trouble, I don't know what is. LOLOLOLOL
dirtykoala,
heh..... never mind. Not worth the effort
