Open Carry Demo in Walnut Creek, Feb 6, as San Mateo Sheriff voices concerns

by BGR on January 15, 2010

The San Mateo County Sheriff’s office has released a statement warning against the burgeoning Open Carry movement in the Bay Area, as gun owners exercise constitutional and lawful rights in California to carry unloaded weapons in plain sight. Several demonstrations of Open Carry have occurred, most recently in Livermore, January 2, 2010.

The next Bay Area Open Carry Meetup will take place in Walnut Creek at the California Pizza Kitchen on February 6, from 11am – 1pm. For more information visit California Open Carry, or the Bay Area Open Carry page at Facebook.

See the statement from the San Mateo County Sheriff’s office below. It warns of the potential dangers of carrying weapons while citing current law, and police procedures for inspection of weapons. The Sheriff stressed the problem faced by law enforcement responders to reports of people with guns; that those citizens must be approached with caution simply as matter of public safety whether or not it is a responsible citizen or a criminal.

No matter who tells them not to, they will do it anyways. Who wants to bet right now that any media that shows up will NOT report the event in a positive manner? That 99/100 sheeple who witness said event will be scared and will come away with a further mis-understanding of what the UOC-ers are actually trying to promote.

Sheeple will ALWAYS be scared--that's why they're called SHEEPle and not LIONple or EAGLEple.

So, given the choice between having RKBA and scared sheeple, OR not having RKBA and scared sheeple, which would you choose?

The question isn't that at all. The question should be, do you want to get a sheeple uprising, or do you want the sheeple to remain in ignorance of what's going on in the courts until RKBA is a done deal?

Looks like that sheriff just got caught in an illegal brothel.

ETA: My mistake, it was in 2007.

Wasn't that a couple of years ago?

The Sheeple should be forced to move to Oakland or Richmond

While I can't imagine doing UOC myself I find the letter from the Sherrif to be disturbing when things like "exercise of constitutional rights" are put in quotes, indicating that they don't seem to believe in the second amendment. Just another example of the problems with LEOs these days.

Dupe.
