California Legislature Should Reject Ban On Open Carry
California Legislature Should Reject Ban On Open Carry, An Old Right, Not New Threat
Assemblywoman Saldana misleads public – AB 1934 tramples property rights.


Sacramento, California - -(Ammoland.com)- California is one of 43 states which allow the open carry of handguns. Repeatedly over the past few years the California legislature has wisely rejected bills to ban open carry, and OpenCarry.org urges the legislature to reject Assemblywoman Lori Saldana’s effort, AB 1934, as well.

Last night at the Commonwealth Club debate in San Francisco, UC Berkley Law Professor Franklin Zimring, despite being a Second Amendment skeptic, said

“AB 1934 really has nothing to do with public safety. . . . the proponents of the bill are not introducing it because openly carrying has led to any violent incidents or crimes – it hasn’t. The bill’s sponsors also just want to show that they’re right on the issue of gun control.” See http://www.ktvu.com/news/23691070/detail.html

OpenCarry.org co-founder and spokesman John Pierce agrees, adding that “open carry is an old right, not a new threat.”

3. Bay Area Open Carry
has a friend in it, he keeps me updated on the phone drives and letter writing. Our firearms group, the Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association (pafoa) is pushing a Stand Your Ground Law HB40 through with half the effort these guys are using. They are losing. I find it amazing the mind set. NJ, NY, Chicago, California. They seem to have a gun problem and harsh gun laws. I know people in NJ that come to Pa just so they can have some freedoms denied to them where they live. These cities and states should just look around at all the firearms freedom all around them and take notice. Breath freedom into your areas.

But they would rather rule over the pitiful little peons under them rather than serve them as they were elected to do. Serfs. I dont consider them US citizens. I do pity them though.
