Default Carrying without a permit

Hypothetically speaking, what kind of trouble will I get in if I am caught armed with a cocked and locked registered handgun in a holster by a LEO out on the streets?

What if I kill a man in self-defense out on the streets? Can I get into more trouble?

*DISCLAIMER: I'm not a lawyer, just a dude w/ 2 cents.*

If you life in Vermont or Alaska nothing(no CCW required).

If you live in California and are not a gang member, it's a misdemeanor-could result in multiple charges to upgrade it to felony. And, you're at the mercy of the DA and jury/judge if you have to use it.

Not a good idea legally, better idea to secure a CCW.

You'll be charged with misdemeanor carrying concealed under Penal Code Section 12031. (a) (1).

You'll have to sell all your guns and lose the ability to purchase guns in the future.

IANAL, but I can read...

And now that you've posted in a public forum about it and yerr' said thing ever happens...and they find this thread it could be argued that it shows a certain level of premeditation................ NOT a good thing.

Not a lawyer & this aint legal advice

Stuffing a gun in your waistband and walking out the door is enough for "premeditation".

How difficult is it to get a carry permit in West LA?

What do I have to do?

Spotless record?

Just asking those questions would mean you have no connections so no CCW, the Average Joe is expendable.

Unless you have a job related security need or some documented personal threats it can be very hard. The best thing to do would be to contact http://www.trutanichmichel.com/ and pay them for a few hours of their time to fill out the application for you.

But we are trying to change things.

Head over to www.californiaccw.org for information on getting a license.

Yes, even in L.A.
