Governor Jerry Brown Signs Law Banning Open Carry of Handguns

Paradoxically, the law could lead to more folks carrying concealed and loaded weapons.

At LAT:
Sam Paredes, executive director of the advocacy group Gun Owners of California, said the ban could lead, paradoxically, to more carrying of handguns. Courts, he reasoned, could now force the state's police to distribute more concealed-weapon permits to allow citizens to exercise their rights.

"This situation will be a catalyst to unite all of the gun community in lawsuits,'' Paredes said. "The probable outcome is you will have far more people carrying concealed loaded guns as opposed to openly carrying unloaded guns.''

    Doesn't he have something better to do??? Banning guns that don't work? What's the point?

    Brown has no legal authority to do this.

    Hopefully the lawsuits will start flying immediately.
