Sonoma County Sheriff Steve Freitas called for passage of a state Senate bill that would require pellet guns to look clearly different from those that fire bullets, but stopped short of calling for the murder of violators.

What would they charge him with, excessive jumpiness? Desecration of a corpse?
Police carry .44s now? Why not .50 caliber?
That was not a 13 year old ‘Baby’. The kid was almost adult size, he held what appeared to be a gun, and most importantly, would not put it down when asked repeatedly to do so. I have nothing against legal carrying, but be ready to deal with legitimate questions from cops, it’s going to happen. Don’t play debating games with police who have been called because someone in that neighborhood looked suspicious. That is their job to find out who’s doing what. Some folks will purposely alter a BB gun or toy replica so that it’s very similar to a real one. Many homeowners who can’t afford a real gun may do this to make a burglar stop and think before completing the break in.
An AK round will not be stopped by a car door, so you have no cover, and can take less chances, if you are a cop facing an AK.
Witness #4 stated that he drove by the kid moments before and warned the kid about the police coming up behind him, and told the kid to throw the rifle away. The kid paid no attention.
One day many will be painting their real firearms with orange tips...
Is it illegal to carry an uncased rifle in Commiefornia? Seems that the cops have just received approval to gun down (without warning) anyone who is carrying a weapon.
The suspect is turning to face you with this in his hand. Think quickly.
Cops at every level have lost their minds.
