CA open carry UOC Unloaded Open Carry

In CA we have a unique chalenge to open carry. The gun has to be UNLOADED!!!

This is my setup and how I stay legal.

Always look up LAWS for yourself. CA law can be found at

http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html

On the above site select Penal Code and search 12026.1

12025. (a) A person is guilty of carrying a concealed firearm when
he or she does any of the following:
(1) Carries concealed within any vehicle which is under his or her
control or direction any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable
of being concealed upon the person.

or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person.

12026.1. (a) Section 12025 shall not be construed to prohibit any
citizen of the United States over the age of 18 years who resides or
is temporarily within this state, and who is not prohibited by state
or federal law from possessing, receiving, owning, or purchasing a
firearm, from transporting or carrying any pistol, revolver, or other
firearm capable of being concealed upon the person, provided that
the following applies to the firearm:
(1) The firearm is within a motor vehicle and it is locked in the
vehicle's trunk or in a locked container in the vehicle other than
the utility or glove compartment.
(2) The firearm is carried by the person directly to or from any
motor vehicle for any lawful purpose and, while carrying the firearm,
the firearm is contained within a locked container.
(b) The provisions of this section do not prohibit or limit the
otherwise lawful carrying or transportation of any pistol, revolver,
or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person in
accordance with this chapter.

I think you may have missed the point. This was what I used to car carry to and from areas that I was going to UOC. The "thunderware" would not qualify as a legal option for me.

UOC is now against the law so the point is moot.

I prefer a real holster made for one gun and a sturdy belt. A gun in my groin is not an option.

@drewlipsey yes it was a statement. In CA it was leagle to open carry an unloaded handgun. I would carry loaded mags also. The thought was if needed the gun could be loaded and ready to use. It will be a misdemeanor after jan 1st 2012.

I agree with breaking unjust laws! I will protect my self and family after the first. I plea the 5th on how.

when is the next open carry in long beach?

[ryanburbridge]

@BullyChicken any time you set one up. I personally dont UOC anymore. i do not have the money to fight BS criminal cases brought on by Ahole LEO. They won. I do still have a way to protect myself.

@angstotheclown

it is not the most ideal carry method i agree. BUT i would take an unloaded GUN with ammo in mag ready to load then a BOOK any day. Criminals are NOT dumb. they are very good at what they do. I dont think a criminal will play the odds when it come to an armed victim. there are too many unarmed victims out there to even bother. one added bonus is to bring guns back into daily life. the more people do it the more normal it becomes.

@seven47katana i myself hope for what AZ has put into place. LOC or LCC with NO permit. We should be able to arm ourselves whenever or however we want. Thanks for the reply.

[DeutcherKonnig]

The case cries out to any nosy cop (GUN!). No dude, when I'm in CA, I carry my 1911 in soft pouch over my groin and have never been hassled.

Thanks for educating US, and for supporting OUR RIGHTS...

[drewlipsey]

i dont get it, y the hell would u ever carry a weapon thats not loaded? is this a fashion statement in ca? look, carry ur weapon loaded and concealed. better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

[Ross19kilo]

just wondering as i just got stationed here in cali, if the mag itself has to be empty itself when being carried as well. And can you open carry in a vehicle? Thanks

[mjtracy]

I fortunate to live in Kern County with a great sherrif who supports CCW. Don't have to worry about threading the UOC needle! Maybe it would be easier for you to move?

@MrHossain110 I can see your point. I also would assume that any peaceful Muslim would understand who the shirt is directed at. If Buddhist were as in your face as Muslims I would be more in your face with disapproval. I am a christian and must watch as people make fun of and disrespect Jesus. It's fine by me.

I would like to see more of the nonviolent Muslims speak out and condemn the Muslims who would want to kill others.

I will be the first to say that the USA should get OUT of WAR!
