[Slayer]

You keep asking the same damn question and I assumed you were not understanding the answer.

Best of luck finding the mythical law that allows you to open carry in your vehicle.

lol, so fun! maybe we should have quoted some BS code that says "..also, if you wish to transport your handgun in plain view, unloaded, you can..seriously!" because it's not like that guy will ever click on the link or read your post telling him absense of code regarding something illegal means something is legal.

shot1, did you see A Few Good Men during a witness examination where the witness was asked if the marine training manual included directions to the mess hall? Same principle applies in CA Penal Code. If something like "open transportation" isn't illegal, then it is legal. Penal Code doesn't list all things that are legal, in other words. Also, 12025 ONLY discusses "concealed" guns so if a gun is in plain view, it is not concealed.

Lets put it this way

When you show me the penal code that says its ok for me to eat an ice cream cone I will find the penal code that says its ok to open carry...

I don't need a mythical law! You could have simply said it's not in the penal code, and that was that.

I don't want to offend people that work on this "WIKI" but a wiki with 'text' and no penal code or anything else on a gov site to back it up is hard to believe in itself... why? Because that's how wiki's work.. they can be edited by ANYONE thus the entire WIKI thing, and some 'text' can be just WRONG, or edited/changed by someone who wants to piss off people, etc.

If this wiki is not publicly editable... maybe calling it a WIKI is a bad idea.

A wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified

SORRY for wanting to be 100% clear, and not trusting any site with the word "WIKI" in it.

That's what I do minus the trunk part I just was interested in exploring ALL my possibilities

Thanks guys for opening my eyes.

Where is the penal code describing the legalities/requirements/dos-don'ts of open transport then that's what I`m interested in I guess

2 things:

1) The Wiki is NOT open. I wrote most of the things there, and I include links to penal code where needed. No random person has the ability to edit it into anything more wrong than it now is. (And if you think something there is wrong, start a new thread and say so; if you're right, I'll fix it.)

2) This is the first time you have mentioned OPEN carry; as others have told you, the PC does not specify rules for open carry - it specifies rules for CONCEALED carry and for LOADED carry, and all we can do is infer from silence in the PC that, since it isn't prohibited explicitly, it must be OK.

I realize that makes some people uncomfortable, but that's just the way it is.

Thanks.

Like I said, i`m not meaning to offend but the term WIKI has different meaning then obviously it's usage

Thanks again for making it clear about the editing.

Happened to be in LA today and an interesting comment from an Instructor I was talking to today.
He informed me that within the city of LA boundaries having a loaded magazine on your person is considered an offense - regardless of whether you have a weapon or not.
Not being from the City of LA, I had no idea if this is true or not.

I'd be interested to see exactly what one would be charged with. Other than airport sterile areas (which would be TSA/Federal), I can't think of anything violated by having a loaded magazine and no firearm (and no friend with a firearm with you - I'm told that's a way some folks in 'voluntary social organizations' carry to avoid the loaded weapon laws). There's certainly nothing in Title 5 of LA Municipal code that says such a thing.

Since the law doesnt tell me I cant.....and since I'm not violating anyones rights....Its good to go as far as I can see.

IF your a convicted felon or a known gangbanger, then yes, hes correct.

otherwise, its completly legal. The only way i can see it being illegal is if the city passed that ordinance, which I highly doubt.

Bottomline: Not within arm's reach...when trying to defend yourself.

[DPC]

Even if the pistol or firearm is locked, is it still a violation to be within 1000 yrds of a school?
