CA governor signs open carry ban

[MinnesotaORnewbie]

California might as well try to claim independence from the United States, that way we can declare war and rid everyone in the State government and divide it up into new states or add to existing states. Start fresh, and use the tax dollars there to someones advantage though not to hurt everyone else. What a f&$ked up state, its too big to govern itself and has had to resort to unorthidox methods to wish its way to a natural domicracy. Seems more like a state of Mexico and possibly a new China.

Governors don't have to worry, since they have armed bodyguards 24/7 at taxpayer expense.

Imagine a law where they would have to live in the poorest and most crime-ridden neighborhood in their state without their bodyguards.

Might change their view point regarding self-protection.

Just move the capital to Compton or Oakland. Maybe the east side of LA? Yeah in with those "13" guys

Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, D-Pasadena, said; “It’s not if somebody is going be shot, it’s when somebody is going to be shot,” he said. “We have the opportunity to avoid that, and that’s why this is so critical.” “Main Street California is not the Old West, and you don’t need a gun to buy a cheeseburger,”

“By prohibiting the open carry of guns, we can now take our families to the park or out to eat without the worry of getting shot by some untrained, unscreened, self-appointed vigilante,” Dallas Stout, president of the California chapters of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said in a statement.

Nope! you’ll be shot by some gang banger you idiots! How any gun enthusiast could vote Democrat I'll never understand. It must take a certain kind on "enlightenment".

Unbelievable that anyone intelligent can believe this or any law can keep people safe.
