It is outlawed in California, so you do not have to worry about it.
But, if it were not for open carry advocates, you would not have got the Peruta decision which says that the state must issue concealed carry permits to people for the purposes of self defense.
If other people want to open carry, that’s fine with me.
I don’t believe it should be illegal.
Conceal carry is the only thing that makes sense to me.
