In Cali
Senate bans open carry of firearms. Ravenwood’s law invoked in third paragraph.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Didn’t a Cali judge rule that’s California’s may-issue CCW licensing regime did not infringe on the 2nd Amendment because the ability to open carry (unloaded) was a option retained by the individual citizen?
Time to revisit that decision.

This was not unexpected and I think the folks at CalGuns hoped they were going to be this stupid. Given the judge’s ruling in Peruta v. San Diego, this will make the push for shall-issue concealed carry easier. In Peruta, the judge said since people had open carry as a option she didn’t see a problem with restricting concealed carry. Now that that option is off the table, it becomes harder to legally justify the restrictions.

It’s now law yet. That bill may still die.

More work for Mr. Gura ahead.

We need to ban California senators from openly talking in public. See how they feel having their rights trampled.

However… The bill’s author, Portantino, has been locked in a bitter feud in recent weeks with Assembly Speaker John Pérez (D-Los Angeles) over a budget vote. If the speaker does not allow the bill to the floor in the last 24 hours of the legislative session, it dies.
These guys are such legislative bad-handlers they shooot themselves in the foot very often. We can just hope that the bitter accrimony among Democrats that characterizes the Assembly will assist in killing it.

This is America, not East Germany, and our constitutional rights may not be dispensed with for the convenience of the Marxist police state in the People’s Democratic Republic of Commiefornia.
The confrontational, anti-constitutional, repression and predations of the Commiefornia legislature are creating risk of violent rebellion. Of course, if any bloodshed should occur there, the legislature will deny any responsibility whatsover. The members of our arrogant ruling class do not hold themselves accountable for their actions.

“‘This is not the wild west,’ DeLeon said during the floor debate. ‘How discomforting can it be if you walk into a restaurant, a Starbucks, a Mickey D’s and all of a sudden you see someone with a handgun?'”
I don’t have a problem with private citizens exercising their constitutional rights. Deleon only has a problem with private citizens doing so. He doesn’t apply any of his radical rhetoric to government agents who openly carry handguns, he only applies it to private citizens. I would share his views, if I was a statist cocksucker, but I’m not. An elected official who gives precedence to government agents at the expense of the public doesn’t deserve to be a public servant, and should be voted out of office ASAP.

So constitutional rights are not rights at all, but are discretionary privileges granted by the government, if the police find it convenient, and if some people are not made to feel uncomfortable.

“They are tied up dealing with calls from the public about gun-toting men and women in the coffee shop,’’
And this is, of course, the fault of the law-abiding citizens who are peacefully going about their business while carrying in a lawful manner, rather than the fault of the 911 dispatcher who doesn’t ask what else is going on that might justify responding an officer…
