Portantino said his bill is an opportunity to prevent tragedy before it happens.

"It's not if somebody is going be shot, it's when somebody is going to be shot," he said. "We have the opportunity to avoid that, and that's why this is so critical."

Portantino said law enforcement officials have been concerned about the proliferation of guns in public and the tense situations that arise when someone sees another person carrying a firearm in public. He said the encounters can escalate quickly because others don't know whether the gun is loaded or unloaded.

One of the first rules of firearms safety is to always assume a weapon is loaded.
"Main Street California is not the Old West, and you don't need a gun to buy a cheeseburger," Portantino said.

Top California law enforcement groups, including the California Police Chiefs Association and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, supported the legislation.

"By prohibiting the open carry of guns, we can now take our families to the park or out to eat without the worry of getting shot by some untrained, unscreened, self-appointed vigilante," Dallas Stout, president of the California chapters of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said in a statement.

"If one is to blame those who exercise a fundamental right for it being taken away, then we have truly lost our freedoms in this country," Green said.

Samozřejmě že u lidí takto legálně nosících nikdy nedošlo k žádné nehodě, ohrožování ani vyhrožování. Ale když to policie chce a matičky s dětmi se toho bojí... :-/
