I live in California where all our rights have been taken away. I would consider conceal carry though just because I see it as an inherent right. Open carry here would probably not fly. Idunno though.

In california, by law, open carry is legal. The caveat, though, is the weapon must NOT be loaded. If you carry the gun in a holster, the magazine MUST not be in the weapon. If you have a mag holder, perfect. However, depending on what part of cali you live in, you can most assuredly expect an encounter with law enforcement.
Now, this does not mean that you shouldn't open carry in cali. for example,
san diego open carry lunch and dinner meet!! updated 7-16-08. - Page 35 - Calguns.net
and though nobody was hassled at this open carry event, there were plenty of police officers on scene.....just because.
I hear that the next open carry event is going to be in san jose. Hey will, you up for it?
