I tend to agree with Maestro - and not just regarding California. Al, your comment that trials and tribulations of open carry are "unknown to the rest of us" is a bit of an overstatement. On paper, many states are friendly to open carry, but that does not stop local law enforcement in many locales from harassing those who open carry, using such nebulous charges as disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, or (my favorite in my home state) going armed to the terror of the people. Although those of us on this board see a clear legislative choice between open or concealed carry, that choice is not so legally obvious until guns are unambiguously judicially freed from the home.
