There are several exemptions to the prohibitions against carrying an unloaded handgun in public under California Penal Code Section 26350 PC. Any person who has a been granted a concealed carry permit (“CCW”) under California Penal Code Section 26150 PC or California Penal Code Section 26155 PC would be allowed to openly carry their firearm while in a public, non-prohibited place.
While I can’t find the specific ordinance at the moment, I’m about 95% positive that LA County has a law on the books prohibiting open carry, even unloaded (including replicas), even with a CCW. There are exemptions for law enforcement and while filming a permitted movie/tv show. Typically, local ordinance will supercede state law in situations like this here in CA.
That all said, I wouldn’t be trying my luck against the LAPD/LASD lol.
Waaay illegal in Los Angeles
That’s not stopping a whole lotta people
Concealed sure, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone open carry in LA.
Wasn’t that from the Rodney King riots in 1992?
So is attempting to search a house without a warrant
That’s that funny thing about laws and selective enforcement
