You can call foul as often as you like. You evidently haven't been around CA very much or very long or you don't have a CCW. Try riding into SF with one and let the cops know you have it, see what happens. Try doing the same thing in Sacramento, or any county in Southern CA except Orange county and it is becoming pretty crummy lately.

CA cops will harass people with CCWs if they know they have one and know they are armed. Not ALL CA cops but enough of them that the smart thing to do is to not hand them you CCW at a traffic stop. I know at least 4 people personally who were stupid enough to show their CCW in CA(this area) and got harassed, one of them was arrested briefly.

BTW, I have no f***ing what "YMMV" means. Try spelling things out next time.

One last thing you accuse me of making a blanket assertion, but you are making one about cops NOT harassing CCW holders in CA. What makes your blanket assertion any more accurate than mine?

File charges alleging a violation of USC Title 18, Section 242. Deprivation of Civil Rights under Color of Law.

If that doesn't work. You may need to consider taking up arms to defend yourself.

No need to get your panties all in a twist!

Since you seem to be interested in rhetoric and were kinda-sorta polite with your last question "What makes your blanket assertion any more accurate than mine?", I'll explain for you: The difference is that I didn't make a blanket assertion, you did.

I specifically allowed that there might well be regional differences, and even qualified my statement with the (not terribly obscure)YMMV, specifically recognizing that your own experience might be different.

"Like I said, YMMV, and no doubt regional differences come into play in a state as large as Cali..."

In contrast, you wrote "CA cops are notorious for harassing CCW holders at traffic stops", which casts a rather wide net.

Can't speak to the experience in SF, as whenever I've had occasion to roll through that benighted burg the pipes were legal, and whatever vehicle code violations I may have committed escaped the notice of the local constabulary. I will, however, keep your advice in mind on my next ride through there. So, thanks for that, at least.

So, does that make you pot or kettle?
