Gov. Jerry Brown makes it illegal to openly carry a handgun in public (CA)

There's only 3 parts of Ca. that suck, San Diego/LA is one big one, then there's the Bay area, and Sacramento ,
Rest of it is pretty nice.

That's kinda like saying, "She'd be a great ol' gal if she didn't have the clap....."

TAB is a perfect example of why Ca. gets the laws they deserve.

I was about to post the same thing, except to leave TAB out of it. I really have no sympathy for CA. That state is financially bankrupt and it is morally bankrupt. They deserve it.

How do they separate the men from the boys in Greece ?
With a pry bar.
The Greek national anthem is
"I'll never leave my buddies behind".

10-4.  The company I used to work for operated a lot of oil wells in wine country.  A bunch of rich double-minded jerks....the ones that did not have mineral rights had careless disregard for the mineral owner's rights and the ones who did have mineral rights would do anything for you because they got a check.  Even to the point where they would damage flowlines, tank batteries, etc. and cause spills then report and sue us for their actions if they owned now rights.  Many of the wine people did not have mineral rights because the old families held on to their easy income "mail box money". 

On the other hand sticking more towards the post, the open carry movement just got there too late.  The same arguments against open carry were purported against concealed carry, that is to say there were impassioned arguements that concealed carry would hasten the eventual outlawing of guns because people would think about guns due to the concealed carry movement bringing guns into the daily news.  That daily or frequent reminder of guns "caused" by the concealed carry movement would take us out from under the radar and get our rights revoked....exactly the opposite happened. 

If you don't stand for your rights they will be lost.  Moonbeam signed a law...California has gone backwards in gun rights whereas the rest of the nation has gone forward...especially with the concealed carry movement leading the banner.  Rather than piss and moan about the open carry guys maybe it would be better if California citizens would bring people into their sport and grow their numbers to overcome bad laws, bad politicians and bad thinking.  I bet there are a lot of people there now interested in the "forbidden fruit" of firearms that only need a friendly smile and the encouragement of an offer to try a gun legally to come over to our side.  Teaching them what is legal and not legal of California quirks would remove uncertainty and a day or two on the range would hook a lot of people.

Forget a bunch of Deepwater...  He may not be back for a year.  Just don't forget about yer bestest oyster-slurpping pal, Crusader.

Sheesh, the abuse I put up with...
