I hope this bill passes, a legal fight might end up allowing openly carrying a loaded firearm, and conceal carry permits to be more easily obtained.

I guess WE THE PEOPLE must sue and fight and charge are own state for treason. These morons don't even know the words of keep and bear arms shall not be be infriged. WERE DOES IT SAY IN THE HOME! THE CONSTITUTON IS THE LAW OF THE LAND. It is a anti-government bill but we all know that crimimals don't follow laws. In other states cops are breaking the 4th amendment law in citizen homes. So I ask you AMERICA were are the lines drawn.

Portantino's, you will not take my rights away, I and all other americans will fight you, at the ballot for sure your finished. The police can't do ther jobs 1 and a half hour response will not get it. Democrats can not be this stupid.

Brown can tell his democrats they can take an shove it up there asses. I will carry my gun anywhere I want to, no slimey corrrupt democratic whore is going to tell me any different. Brown think real hard before you start a citizen revolt.

Time to take up our guns and kick the governments ass. The right of the people shall not be infringed. Its time we send that message and take the fight to our government. The law is a joke. I have needed help from the police and they would turn their heads and not even come to my aid. So to law enforcement I say. Piss off! The problem with California is simple to many damn pussy's in government.

Thank you Walter for mentioning Article 1, Section 1 of the California Constitution - The right to Self-Defense which is the same right the US Supreme Court Heller decision found as well as our right to "carry a weapon for the purpose of self-defense."
