    My son just moved from Wyoming to Oregon, guess why he always told me
    Wyoming has such a low crime rate?

    If we had open carry in this state, there'd be lots'a trouble for the punks!

    The above web sight is good, also check with the NRA. I would not even think about carrying in CA!

    All state have open carry. The problem is you can get in trouble for insighting panic or something similar. I would think that an even bigger issue in places like CA, OR and WA.

    due to my job, I can get around that, so the hassle would be worth the security for my family. I just don't like open carry as it makes you a target.

    CA does not have open carry. Up until about a year ago you could OC an unloaded handgun, but when Jerry Brown took over even that was eliminated. Unless you live in a rural area the only way to get a concealed permit is to be a celebrity or politician.

    Just wear it strapped to your leg so everyone can see it and no one should bother you / mug you.

    haha.

    unfortunately, IF i were a criminal, I'd probably shoot the guy w/ his gun on his hip first, and then worry about everyone else..

    I'll just leave it at home and hate life the whole time :(

    I stand corrected. I thought all states still had open carry. I remember when Florida got it in the 80s. There were images of all the drug lords with their big chrome guns on their hips. I very surprised the Texas isn't open carry.

    California is not going to let you have a gun you just need to get used to it.
    Only in special exceptions and i guarantee you wont be one of them.

    Look up your states carry laws. If your state doesn't approve a particular states carry laws, then the other state doesn't observe yours. Simple as that.

    I did that first, which is why i was asking, hoping that what i found initially wasn't up to date.

    pretty much no one in the country honors CA's cc carry, and vice versa:mad2:

    that's how i know i can get a non resident cc for WA for 60$.
