Fascinating Story on Open Carry in California

By -
Seems that people in the liberal state of California have found a way to carry, whether or not their local CLEO (Chief Law Enforcement Officer) will sign off on a concealed carry permit for them.

Of note in this article - the publication is thought by many in "gun circles" to be liberal - yet the article is refreshingly objective.

Also, for those out there, allow me to make a distinction. California is a "May-Issue" state with regards to concealed carry permits. My home state of Tennessee is a "Shall Issue" state with regards to handgun carry permits. The difference?

"May Issue" means that if a person qualifies, he "may" be issued a carry permit - if the CLEO feels it is justified. If the CLEO does not want to issue the permit for any reason (or no reason at all), the permit does not get issued. There is too much subjectivity here for my tastes.

"Shall Issue" means that if a person qualifies, the state SHALL issue a carry permit. It is very objective. You meet the criteria and pay the fee, and you will get a permit to carry.

Facts:
39 states are "Shall Issue"
7 states are "May Issue"
2 states do not have permits, but allow civilian carry - open or concealed - by anyone of legal age in the state to carry - VT (age 16 to carry) & AK (21 to carry).
In Wisconsin, one may open carry, but there is no provision for concealed carry.
In Illinois, there is no option for a civilian to carry a handgun.

Do not Get your Ham License.

This author has many preppers for friends, due to obvious reasons . One of the topics that comes up often is comms in an emergency situation. I have decided the hill I will stop on is local comms - as can be had via normal handheld walkies or similar. To get more range, ham radio is about the only civilian option, and I will NOT be going that way.  It is a protest. And this is why .  From the tweets : "I hate to be discouraging, but I must remind everyone that even in a time of emergency, unlicensed operation is against FCC regulations. I know that personally I've received a few tattle-telling messages from hams over the past few days who have reported to me people sharing life-saving information over the radio without a license.  This is a constant reminder that for the overwhelming majority of the ham radio hobby, there is NO emergency so severe that unlicensed operation will be accepted. Sure, net control for formal nets can operate under emergency rules, but for most ...

Reposted from Social Media: By Robyn Eshelby-Theart. ====== I'm a qualified dog behaviourist. Not only that, but I spend my entire life working with dogs. It's literally my 24/7/365 as, beyond being a behaviourist, I have a doggy daycare and boarding facility. My job is dogs. Tonight I will share something with you. And for the sake of all innocent animals, I hope that you read it. PIT BULLS ARE NOT PACK DOGS. PIT BULLS ARE NOT MULTI-PET-HOME DOGS.   Now before everyone launches into the "I know a nice pit bull who nurses kittens and walks around with a duckling on his shoulder" stories... Everyone knows a nice pit bull. If everyone here was to post their nice Pitbull story, within a minute or two people who truly understand the breed would refer 100+ pit bulls currently sitting in rescue within 50km of Fourways, with profiles on social media, whose only crime was being true to their breed design. Hundreds of Pit bulls around the country, possibly thousands in fact, ...
