You are describing the situation in most of Kalifornia. Perhaps now you can supply the evidence that Kalifornia is benefitting from such infringements.

You seem to be among those who believe that if you outlaw the carrying of arms, the outlaws won't do it.

California's crime rate is down as is most of America's. It is not due to some states allowing the open carrying of firearms. The decline in crime rate is due to harsher sentencing laws in California-Three Strikes."

California has and has had a more restrictive attitude towards firearms than many states.( California is not as bad as New York.)I have lived here in California for 76 years and have carried my fire arms as prescribed by law. I have been stopped and searched over the years all while carrying firearms and no police officer ever complained about my guns and shooting. They merely looked and said "ok go on." The gun was in the trunk and the ammunition in the glove box as state law commanded.

Open unrestricted carrying of firearms is a recipe for disaster. My wife informed me this morning that some imbecile shot some poor soul in a movie theater because the victim was texting. There was a shooting outside a bar-I actually had one one imbecilic poster on this forum say he approved of people carrying guns into bars. The advocacy of the mixing of liquor and loaded guns-God Help Us! These types of attitudes will be the foundation for people to take away all gun rights. We will all lose.

No right is unrestricted. I totally approve of a man's right to own and possess firearms in his home and place of business, and to use them in defense of his and his families health, well being and property. A man can carry firearms if he has a specific purpose such as carrying jewels and/or sums of money or is required to go into dangerous areas. A man can carry when he goes hunting or target shooting and then guns in the trunk and ammo in the glove box are appropriate.

Not one open carry nut on this forum ever answered my question as to: why did the citizens of 19th century western American towns overwhelmingly vote against the unrestricted carrying of firearms with town limits? Answer the question! You can't because human experience dictates that not everyone should carry as he pleases and those people experienced "Open Unrestricted Carry" and rejected it as would any sane people with a minimum knowledge of human frailties-SHOOTING A MAN FOR TEXTING IN A THEATER! Lord
