Kalifornia is quite thourough when it comes to infringing the right to keep and bear arms. There are actually two separate laws to disarm the people. One is a law which forbids carrying concealed without a permit (which will not be granted in most counties) and the other is a law which forbids the carrying of a loaded gun.
The law concerning a loaded gun has an exception, if I recall correctly, for having the gun loaded at a time when the use of the gun would be justified. For example, if one were carrying openly and unloaded, and an armed attacker appears, it would then be legal to load the gun for purposes of justified self-defense.
Thanks for the info - I need to watch my sloppy language.
wow, let us pray for slowly developing threat scenarios.
