They Carry Guns By Rosa Jurjevics | Published Wednesday, July 15, 2009 It’s a beautiful day in Pacific Beach as Nate approaches the bronze pelican statue on the boardwalk. He’s slight and blond, spectacled and clad in jeans and an army-green T-shirt. He squints. The sun’s so bright overhead that he is prompted to spray a fine mist of sunblock over his fair skin to stave off a burn. I’ve never met Nate before, but I know it’s him (a) because I’ve seen his picture and (b) due to the handgun that sits on a holster against his hip. I’m about to get up from where I’m sitting and introduce myself when someone else beats me to the punch. A scraggly-looking beachgoer, a man of indeterminable age because he is so weather-beaten, approaches. “What’s that for, bro?” he asks, pointing in the direction of Nate’s gun, a Taurus Tracker .44 Magnum revolver. Before Nate can answer, the man continues. “There are surfers at the beach looking to party, and you show up with that? That’s not right. Love life! Be mellow!” This is when I walk up and introduce |

I understand that but the way the laws are written in CA only a few people will qualify for a concealed carry permit while open carry, following the letter of the law, is legal without a permit. Now, if you were a CA resident how would you feel about open carry, understanding the alternative. |

IF it were the only choice then I suppose I would go with it WHEN I carried.In other words IF I could only open carry I would not carry all the time.  |

Why carry an empty weapon? its the only option they have, especially since they are not rich or famous enough to quallify for a carry permit. if that were the only option my state allowed, I think I would seriously consider moving to a state that does allow me my 2nd admendment rights. |
