Can I get a confirmation of OC law related questions please...
True/False
1. While an officer (in CA) may "ask" for an individual who is engaged in the "open carry" of a firearm to present their ID, compliance is NOT required assuming the "open carry" of the firearm is being conducted in a legal fashion.
2. While an officer (in CA) may "see" the serial number of a firearm while conducting a 12031(e) inspection to verify that the firearm is unloaded, they may not "search" the weapon for the serial number.
3. The "covering" (in CA) of the firearm serial number (ie: electrical tape) is NOT illegal, and is not considered destruction of the firearm serial number.
4. Should a firearm be discovered (in CA) to have a "covered" serial number during a 12031(e) inspection this does NOT create probable cause or reasonable suspicion to detain an individual for any longer than is necessary to conduct the 12031(e) inspection.
5. Audio & video recording of any personal interaction with LEO's (in CA) is completely legal with NO requirement for the individual to inform LEO's that audio & video recording is being conducted.
6. There are no laws, regulations, ordinances, etc. within the, City of El Cajon, County of San Diego, or City of San Diego, that restrict the "Open Carry" of a firearm further than what is currently restricted via California state law.
