Open Carry of a Handgun inTexas

[tmareina]

Rural Counties in Cal. DO ISSUE CCW permits. The only restrictions I have seen have been not authorized in BARS. You can't get one in a large metro area unless you know someone.

You can't have TOO MANY GUNS OR BULLETS.

All law abiding citizens should be able to carry a firearm...it may cause the world to be a LESS violent place...the bad guys might think twice before trying to make you a victim.

Just my 2 cents.

Tom,

As a long time CCP carrier and life time NRA member, I have been involved in several of the local classes here in Northern Calif., for teaching new people the law and how to get their CCP. The carry law not only applies to Bars but most State and Federal buildings unless you have special permission to carry in them. Fortunately we have Sheriffs here who are gun advocates and believe every person that doesn't have a record and can pass the one week class and qualification test should be allowed to have a CCP. Some have failed the class. The laws are very strict and you had best know them before getting a CCP. We have to many that want one for the ego trip of I carry a gun. But most want them for protection and in this meth lab and dope laden capitol area, believe me they are almost a necessity. It is really a sad statement of our society when you feel you need to carry a gun just to walk down a street safely or to hike up through the canyons.
