Consider how long someone would last excercising open carry in San Francisco.

In around 1990, the two parties of the Oregon Legislature struck a grand deal. The Dems got a 3 day waiting period for handgun purchases and the Republicans got a statewide concealed carry law that allowed issuing of CWL for 'general self-defense' purposes. You did not have to prove a specific threat. It will be interesting if the Left in this state now feel empowered by this 9th Circuit decision to re-institute a specific need requirement for concealed carry permits.

With the 4 to 4 balance on the SCOTUS, the appointment of the next one or two justices is my greatest concern regarding the November presidential election.

If only this wonderful statute had been established before the San Bernidino shooting, many lives would hve been saved.

Sarcasm, obviously...

Not to offend our California members...but have you seen this circulating.

As a Californian (currently a San Franciscan at that) it gets harder and harder to deal with this place. But I've been to 16 countries, and better than half the states in the US for various reasons, and honestly have not been anywhere I would (other than gun issues and rent/housing) rather live.

There's been an ongoing push here to split the state into two. Although in reality three small states would probably better represent it. The counties north of San Francisco tend to be very liberal in a true sense of the word. People generally just want to be left alone to live as they see fit. (Maybe more along the lines of libertarians) Eastern CA down through the central valley and high desert, tends to be much more conservative, but they and Nor-Cal are politically overshadowed by the population density of the coastal cities from SF to LA which tend to be much more of the rabid "liberal is a bad word" kind of liberals. Where "you can have any kind of liberty you want, as long as the kind we approve of" sort of thinking prevails.
