This is a 1st Amendment issue, and there is lots of case law, although much of it has to do with still photography (IANAL). Same issue with video, though. With extremely few exceptions, you have a right to photograph anything when you are in a public place, or when you are in a private place...

I'd ditch the badge. I'd try to be very polite and patient with those who freak, but I'd also be firm. Perhaps have some business cards printed. White, with nothing on them other than this: Present one of those, with a nice smile, to anyone who asks what you are doing carrying a gun.

The main reason the leftists have such a stranglehold on California politics is gerrymandering. Not to single out California, because the same is true most places, but in California it is especially pernicious. So fight. Don't focus on gun issues - those are the symptom, not the disease...

Here's one place that carries the Camelbak "concealment packs": Camelbak at CopQuest

This supposedly intelligent person (note how leftists LOVE to pat themselves on the back for their self-declared intelligence) apparently doesn't know that the effective combat difference between hand-held semi-automatic and automatic rifles is nil. If anything, someone who just holds the...

Even heavy smokers only have about a 10% chance of developing fatal health problems from it, so actually it probably won't. More biased hysteria from the media and scientists. You know, just like guns. To the original poster: the development of cancer is highly genetically linked...

Got a reference? Because I have a hard time seeing how a particular type of holster can be defined as a "weapon".

I thought this place was supposed to be "The High Road"? Not in this thread, it isn't.

+1 Basta!

Amazing how all the "freedom lovers" want the government to tell everyone else what kind of vehicle they have to drive. CAFE standards are nothing but socialism. It's the exact same thing as every other wacked socialist plan and, guess what, like every other wacked socialist plan it...

F.A.G. bag = Fast Action Gun bag. I believe the term originated with bags made for the Secret Service to contain submachine guns. Don't want to have the President's protective detail looking like something out of a dictatorship, y'know? :D Thanks for the reponses so far. I admit I...

I have a really hard time seeing how the free exercise of any part of the Bill of Rights in public is "threatening". I know a lot of people do though, and not necessarily just about the 2nd Amendment. Something to ponder, if you ask me.

I'm a newbie at CCW. My particular situation is that I can't carry at work, although I can lock it in my car. I have a short commute. I don't go out in public all that much. I live in a warm place and my normal attire is dress slacks and a short-sleeve shirt, sometimes worn tucked, sometimes...

Thanks for the heads-up. I was interested in one of those, but I'm not having that. I can't stand stuff that can't be serviced (unless it's readily available and throwaway cheap).

And if there isn't any off-site parking, which is often the case, then what? Property owners don't have a right to expose their employees to unsafe conditions. Witness OSHA, smoking bans, etc. Nor is the content of employee's private vehicles any of the company's business. Your...
