Out here in the Bay Area it is pretty much impossible to get the license to carry unless you are a politician or celebrity. Calguns is slowly trying to fix that so I shall continue waiting

That's exactly why the crime rates in cities like Oakland and San Francisco are so low!

As soon as I get my CCW permit I do plan on concealed carry, but I'll need something smaller to carry, a Para Ordnance P14 isn't easy to conceal.
California still has legal Open Carry don't they? As long as you have a clean record you can legally carry a gun out in the open as long as the chamber & magazine are empty, and you can carry full magazines elsewhere on your person. There were (or still are) plans on changing that but I don't know if they ever went through. I hope it doesn't get changed because California had the country's highest firearm homicide rate for 2009. Other states with looser laws had MUCH lower rates, Vermont had ZERO. Given the sheer amount of paranoia in California about guns, if you do Open Carry, plan on getting the cops called on you more often than the true bad guys, and plan on getting stopped for a "12031 Check" on a regular basis. As videos on youtube show, some cops are better about that check than others, some are just downright abusive about it treating you like the lowest slime on the face of the planet, while others walk up and talk calmly like actual humans. I also suggest carrying a recording device with you at all times while you open carry, some cops are not beyond bending the situation to their favor to force an arrest where none is warranted. If you get stopped for a 12031 check, NEVER touch or reach for your gun, let them do it. Reaching for it gives them reason to escalate the situation, and that's a bad thing. Quote:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...-a-decade.html Some of their crime rates are higher than the USA's..... http://www.nationmaster.com/compare/...d-States/Crime Assault Victims 133% higher in the UK Bribe payers 16% higher in the UK Car thefts per capita 44% higher in the UK Drug offenses 326 times higher in the UK Rape victims 125% higher in the UK Software piracy rate 30% higher in the UK Total Crimes per capita 7% higher in the UK Total crime victims 25% higher in the UK Their police and politicians have gone a complete 180 on how things should be. They've got teenage kids running around free on the streets with 30+ criminal convictions, but anyone who defends themselves from those criminals gets YEARS in prison. They've even got a "certain Radical group" openly plotting to overthrow the Queen & Parliament, in public, ON CAMERA (multiple counts of High Treason) and they're not doing anything about it. |

I feel sorry for some of you guys that live in uncivilized countries and states that restrict gun ownership and use. Florida just abolished all county and city gun laws. In addition, it imposed penalties that remove politicians from office if they suggest adding new anti-gun laws. In short, the state said that it and it alone will make gun policy in FL.
Just saw in the paper where they said the homicide rate has dropped again. Wonder why. Palm Beach County sees big drop in homicides this year

BTW, Palm Beach and San Diego have about the same population, 1.3 million. In 2010, San Diego had 29 homicides vs Palm Beach's 97. Homicides go up and down every year and I personally think it has nothing to do with gun control. People will find one way or another to kill each other if they really want to (guns make it easier though). Here's a good link if anyone wants to compare murder rates by state. http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/cacrime.htm |

If a person reaches for a firearm that person then escalated the situation and not LEO. I will never be able to understand states like California and Illinois with their restrictive gun laws and paranoia about firearms in general. I work as an LEO in an open carry state and I have responded to my share of calls regarding people openly carrying firearms in holsters. It's a simple and easy call, introduce myself, explain the situation, then leave. Most people who carry firearms know the laws regarding carrying and abide by them. Now the person walking down the street or in a residence/business openly brandishing a firearm is a completely different style call. |

I do a lot of hiking and camping with my kids (6yo - 7yo) and wife in some pretty remote locations within the PA national forests, and it is not uncommon to cross paths with individuals of questionable character (not to judge the book).
Anyway, I'm licensed to carry firearms in PA and always do so within this context. I've never been in a situation where revealing my firearm was necessary (and never hope to), but would be prepared if the need were to arise. As for carrying on my 250. Nah.

this. Just for political temperature purposes, I do have a CCW. I also happen to think the attitude of many armed citizens is shortsighted and unrealistic. Those who envision drawing to prevent property loss (and especially the guy who chooses to carry in a state where it's illegal) really should educate themselves both on the law where they live and on what actually happens AFTER the incident to those who pull a gun. The consequences of brandishing a weapon are bad, even if you're legally entitled to carry it. The consequences of shooting someone, even if you're in the right, are REALLY REALLY bad in all kinds of ways. Remember Bernie Goetz? Go look up what happened to him. He shot and wounded four punks in a NY subway in 1984 when they tried to shake him down for some cash. He was charged with attempted murder, assault, reckless endangerment, and various weapons violations. He was acquitted on on all charges except an illegal possession count. Okay, so pulled his gun, used it and was vindicated in court. He came out on top in the end, right? Wrong. In 1996 the civil case went to trial and one of the punks was awarded $43 million. Goetz filed for bankruptcy. With the harsh glare of public scrutiny on him as "the subway vigilante," consider what his life must have been like in the years -- not days, weeks or months, YEARS -- after the shooting. The impact on his career. His chances of getting a good job with this on his record. His personal life. When a civilian pulls a gun, it kicks off a long, long string of events, most of which are not good at all. I would have given the kid my wallet instead. Bottom line: The gun comes out of the holster ONLY if there is real, imminent danger to my life. That's what the law says in my state, and woe betide me if I don't follow it. Giving up a bike, your wallet, -- anything you own -- is trivial compared to the cost of defending yourself in both criminal and civil court. It's even less than trivial compared to the long-term consequences to your life. |
