Excellent article about Open Carry in California
San Diego Reader has published a very well written article about open carry in California, which is legal as long as the gun is unloaded. The author, Rosa Jurjevics, who had never fired a gun let alone carried openly, met up with a few open carry enthusiast at a boardwalk at Pacific Beach. After giving her a lesson on the legalities of OC and how to deal with the police, they handed her a Ruger Single Six.
Kudos to the Rosa for writing an article that did not portray those who open carry as extremists or agitators, but simply as a group of people who choose to exercise their legal right to carry openly, and who hope that their constitutional right to carry will be recognized in the future.

I think Ca is for nuts , between the intiative stuff, open carry , and legalizing pot , Ca is magnet for the insane. Unfortunately I'm stuck here , otherwise I would get out as fast as I could.
Speaking of CA, did you see the marijuana convention they're holding at the Cow Palace soon? The one that will be complete with the "SMOKING" tent for those with a medical prescription so they can smoke there. Yes. The same Cow Palace where they've been trying to ban gun shows for years.
You can't have a legal gun show there but a convention for pot is acceptable??? Something is seriously wrong here.
