"California Gov. Jerry Brown on Sunday signed a bill banning the open carrying of handguns in public, making California the fifth U.S. state to do so.

California State Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, who authored the bill, told Hotsheet in an interview that the law was a natural way to prevent gun violence.

Citing instances where law enforcement members are called out to investigate individuals carrying guns, Portantino said “men and women in uniform are put at risk unnecessarily when they’re called out to investigate” open carry proponents.

The Democratic assemblyman also noted that “law enforcement came to us and asked us to solve this problem.”

“Law enforcement professionals believe that the current loophole is a prescription for disaster – and I side with the law enforcement professionals who believe that their men and women in uniform are being unnecessarily being put at risk,” he said."

There should be thousands volunteering to violate this unconstitutional law, but it is the left coast, so finding thousands of people who give a damn might be problematic...
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
