FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Responsible Citizens of California hosts twin 2nd Amendment “Long Guns Coming Out Meet-up” events
Fremont, CA - October 22, 2011 - In response to the governor’s recent signing of AB 144, a bill to ban the Open Carry of handguns, the Responsible Citizens of California (RCC) is organizing twin meet-up events from Noon-1PM on Saturday, October 22, 2011 at the corner of Hesperian Blvd. & Bayfair Drive in San Leandro and the corner of Felspar and Ocean Front Walk on Pacific Beach in San Diego. These will be the first kick-off events of Unloaded Open Carry of Long Guns (rifles and shotguns) held simultaneously in both Northern and Southern California.
The purpose of the twin events is to gather 2nd Amendment supporters to express their frustration with the State Legislature and Governor Brown’s recent attacks on lawful firearms owners in California. It will also provide an opportunity for citizens to be able to discuss the new laws and familiarize themselves with the options that will remain available for law-abiding citizens to be able to continue to legally carry firearms for personal protection.
Unloaded Open Carry of handguns will remain legal in California until January 1, 2012; the Unloaded Open Carry of Long Guns will not be affected by AB 144 and will continue to remain legal. RCC encourages everyone who attends this event to remain in full compliance with the law. If they are unsure about whether they will be in compliance with the law, RCC urges attendees to err on the side of caution for the event. Our organization also wants to emphasize that law enforcement should treat lawful 2nd Amendment supporters with respect at all times, including at these events.
Responsible Citizens of California has released a brief instructional video and message to law enforcement agencies on lawful Unloaded Long Gun Open Carry for those who will be exercising this basic, fundamental, and enumerated civil right for the very first time.
