Chief Beck and Sheriff Baca speak about Open Carry

On December 10, 2010 in Pasadena Chief Beck and Sheriff Baca spoke about issues happening in Los Angeles. My main question was about Open Carry and here is their response to my question which you can hear they did not DIRECTLY answer.

I placed my own images over them speaking. I you want more information about open carry, you can visit. www.southbayopencarry.org

One of the largest cities in the nation sits within one of the most populous counties -- welcome to sunny Los Angeles. With an area of 4,060 square miles, a population of 10,441,100 people who speak 224 different languages and 400 different known gangs, Los Angeles is a lot to handle for a resident, let alone the people running the organizations that keep the peace. Imagine you're LAPD Chief Beck or L.A. County Sheriff Baca and you're in charge of law and order in this multi-cultural stew, with dwindling budgets and increasing demands on your force. How do you balance the day to day demands of catching criminals and tracking transgressors, crime prevention, anti-gang activities, working with other agencies to secure homeland security as well as community outreach? Patt Morrison gets an inside view of law and order in the Southland with LAPD Chief Charlie Beck and LA County Sheriff Lee Baca.

Hi Nowaysayhey, I'm a concealment weapon carrier with a permint 2 carry here in Orlando Florida. I will b moving 2 the Los Angeles area more like Glendale in about 6 months ..... I love my right 2 carry !!! Can I open carry in Glendale ? If so can I ? Plz let me know if I can ... Also if u might know of any gun groups in that area the exercise their right 2 or a National chapter either way is fine !!!! Plz let me know I hope 2 hear from u soon !!!! Thxz

[nowaysayhey]

@12thryche Yes you can open carry in glendale. Main rules while out here in Cali are that you cannot be within 1000ft of a K-12 school and you cannot walk into a government building, like a post office. The group I meet up with is called South Bay Open Carry. You can find them at ( south bay open carry DOT org.)

Another great site that gives you specific Cali rules is

(california open carry DOT org.)

Both great places to get started.

Peace

SHERIFF BACA IS GARBAGE... GODDAMN I WISH HE WOULD JUST LEAVE OFFICE ALREADY... THIS IS 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHT GENTLEMEN...

[nowaysayhey]

@cleancutish Hell to the Yeah. Someone needs to step up and run against him, he has been in there for so damn long.

[begladicarry]

Baca is a perfect example of how deeply pussified America has become. You are an embarrassment to everything we stand for, Baca, and have no business being an LEO.

[TheOriginalDecider]

If either of these two cunts answered truthfully they would have said, "We don't want anybody other than us to have guns. We know what we're saying is complete bullshit because we'll never support our officers only being allowed to carry guns while on duty. As you are not one of us, you are not allowed to effectively defend yourself against a criminal. However, rest assured that after you're done being murdered, raped, robbed, etc., an armed officer will eventually show up and make a report."

Men in a position of power speaking about how it's foolish to invoke rights given to us by the constitution of the united states. This is the same kind of thinking that blames women when they get sexually assaulted because they were asking for it by wearing revealing clothing.

[irishgeal1]

lol, just 2 more lawmen who dont know the law, period.

[911wuzjews]

Sounds like a couple of scum bag jack booted thugs who think they should be the only people who are armed. We need LESS police and MORE open carriers. PERIOD. Of course, the police are just revenue collectors for the state, and their job is to ensure you are an oppressed and obedient slave. They're taught how to scam you into a crime they can make money off of by badgering, lying, and making things up. Their job isn't even to protect you at all, so screw em, they're useless.

What a bunch of idiots? Carrying a gun does not make you a target to a BG. How many BGs open carry a gun? Well the smart ones don't. Most carry Mexican style or in their pocket.

[cassidy99ful]

@ohannahdad so after the law goes into effect how long do you think it will be until the supreme court overrules it?if they do?

[ohannahdad]

@cassidy99ful As long as we have a 2nd amendment, owning and carrying a weapon cannot be declared unlawful. To say that those who open carry won't be challenged would be ignorant. Open carry will always be challenged by LEO. It may require lawyers, and court dates etc. but the constitution is STILL the law of the land!!

[cassidy99ful]

@12thryche as of jan 1st 2012 it will be illegal to open carry your handgun in the state of california.

[Joez86]

Two Nuckle-heads.

[Riverdrinker]

These guys are either brainwashed idiots or liars. In either case I have ZERO respect for them. No one is carrying a loaded gun on their hip and one of them made the comment that people were. My opinion is that they are LIARS.

[SanEverett]

Sheriff Baca is an idiot!
