I recently retired from law enforcement in California. I never, ever enforced a California gun law against an otherwise law abiding citizen. If you had a full auto AK and were obviously law abiding…..have a nice day. Gun laws are illegal to enforce.
Same here. XLEO. I also came across several good citizens that were carrying concealed. No wants or warrants. No criminal record. Business owner transporting his daily cash. By respecting their Constitutional rights, they are most likely to come to the aid of another officer should the need arise.
we pretty much have no choice given where most of us live, I got shot while walkin my dog around the corner from my apartment, if I hadn't been carrying my own shit I would've been smoked 100%
So you’re looking at prob beating the case with no criminal record and self defense in mind…you have to think about escalation of force for sure…like you wouldn’t shoot someone who doesn’t have a gun…gun should be last resort…it’s almost worth the risk rn to “illegally” carry a concealed gun…I take the train and people are getting marked and graped at the train stations…police only come out when something has already happened
@@drgoutbreak7934 Misdemeanors don't have any prison time. And unless you were carrying a concealed firearm while in the purposes of committing a crime, you're extremely unlikely to even get any jail time, just probation. Also, when and how would you even get caught? If you get caught because you had to use it to save your life, the least of your problems was the potential self-defense, but the imminent danger. You might not like your life, or the life of your loved one's enough to defend it.
Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. For the purpose of Section 242, acts under "color of law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official's lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim. The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any. TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242 Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
In 1983, I practiced medicine in Orange County, California, obtained a CCW permit. Unfortunately for me, I had to donate to Sheriff's re-election fund in order to have it issued. After that, I carried one without a permit.
@@NO-AH562 My weapon was in a side compartment in my medical bag. I would not have said anything indicating I had a weapon. The officer would have no probable cause to search my vehicle. All would be well. BTW, I don't drink or speed. I have only been pulled over twice in 50 years.
Or you could be caught without one when you really need it to protect yourself or your loved ones and only be a memory in short time. 🤔🤔 What does the second amendment of the Constitution say again about it not being infringed? 🤔 Shall we obey the state law or the Federal Constitution?🤔
It seems to me that the State of California is enforcing a “Law” that is a direct violation of a constitutional right. What is the outcome of challenging California state law in court on that matter? Is it a paper tiger?
I’m from a freedom state with a ccw. How is it that my 2nd amendment and right to ccw stop at California? Is it another country? Does the constitution stop at the California border?
If you are an honest, tax- paying property owning citizen you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If you are a low-life criminal you can go free with no bail.
So, just to be clear, California law therefore is in direct violation of the United States Constitution--the supreme law of the land, where it says something like, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." What am I missing?
Without a ccw permit it can be transported in a vehicle with the chamber unloaded, no loaded mag in the magwell in the gun, in a locked box. A loaded magazine can be in the same locked box, even right next to the firearm. A locking glove compartment is not allowed. A locked trunk can be considered a locked area but not in a hatchback since the cargo area can be accessed from the car’s cabin area. It may be the same in a sedan with a passthrough arm rest or fold down rear seat if it can be done if a release latch is accessible in the cabin. You definitely cannot have it on your person in or out of the vehicle without a ccw permit.
You also need to be transporting if for specific reasons (ie the gun range, to a new house you're moving into, etc). You can't just transport it at any time. Ridiculous laws u have over there. Im visiting from Nevada and have never read such as asinine laws as those in California. What a piece of shite state. How does anyone defend themselves? Especially when theres a disparity of force..
@@philh1826 thats not true, I mean the part about carrying in a lock box no roud in chamber all that is true. The part about transporting for a specific reason is not actually on the books anywhere

Ya know if they want to require a permit to conceal im not against it provided there is a clear and reasonable path and take a reasonable amount of time to get but in exchange it should be constitutional open carry
Is there any option for a nonresident of California to legally carry a firearm? It's my understanding that they will not issue a permit to a nonresident and they don't have reciprocity with any other states.
That is correct, California does not have reciprocity. So if you come to California don't bring your guns. Your life is less valuable here against criminals.
Well 9th circuit says you can open carry so do that. Police are going to arrest you anyway despite 9th circuit saying can carry. Police will just say take it up with a judge. Take your gun and give it back a few years later.

There are people who ask for permission and then there are MEN.
