What is Open Carry

[3rd_gear]

With Open Carry coming back to commifornia, how much of a pistol has to be exposed to be considered "open carry"?

[MudCamper]

Why / how is legal open carry coming back to California?

Open is coming to CA? Didn?t know that.

I open my 10mm on trail hikes. Which means outside the waistband wearing jeans and t-shirt completely uncovered.

Many people carry this way here and nobody cares. I did strike up a conversation with a guy carrying open a WC EDC 9 asking how he liked it a few months ago.

Can we open carry the ole "virgina tuck" style where only the pistol handle is visible?

I have a WC CQB and a Nighthawk grp, and I like / shoot the Nighthawk better.

Which is strange - because they are basically the same kind of pistol.

Aside from the "The Open Carry is Coming to Town" debate, anything that is not "concealed" should be considered "open." This is where restrictive states such as CA set their own standard with over-zealous interpretation of printing and trying to get CCW carriers on a technicality. If/when/where open carry is allowed, anything that wouldn't pass as "concealed" should be good to go.

^^^ so a LeMat or Colt Walker it is!

I completely understand. Between my Brown 5? and Brown commander I shoot the 4.25? far better.
It just points nicer. Both have 3 pound triggers.

I carried the commander during the winter months in CA for a few years but I switched to a 16+1 XDm 10mm here in N Idaho last winter. I really like that pistol.

They were ordered by the higher court to fix their sheeeet and get it resolved properly under Bruen.

It's like pornography - once you see it you know.

I didnt know there were issues with printing. Do you have a link?

Ive been carrying under T-shirts. I?d like to look into the details.

Doubt it. After reevaluation, it will be found that issuance of CCW in California is happening due to Bruen, and because CCW is preferred by the State over open carry, then open carry can be banned.

The beginning of the end for open carry in CA started in 1967 with the Milford Act banning loaded open carry. These guys had something to do with that.



Unloaded open carry died on 1/1/2012, in part due to people trying to make a point and scaring the snowflakes.
