Open carry is illegal in California and they won’t issue conceal carry permits to most people - only a few rural counties issue CCW permits.
Guys were open-carrying unloaded handguns to bring attention to the CCW issue in California. The police would hassle them but couldn’t really do anything since they hadn’t broken the law. So the communists legislature, true to form, just fixed it so they will now be breaking the law if they continue - giving the police power to arrest them, not just harass them.
Commies are like that.
So now these protester/educators can’t open carry unloaded guns anymore in order to try to bring awareness to the issue unless they want to get arrested.
Thank you for that explanation. As far as I can see, CA is a lost cause.
