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
