I've been OCing my handgun here in CA - which some of you may know is sort of a big deal, since CA doesn't have any constitutional affirmation of that right.
However, the Omaha mall shooting makes me wonder just how much use my .40 Glock is gonna be. I imagine it might be a little like showing up to a sword fight with a pocket knife. The solution? Show up with equal firepower!
This is not practical in CA. Not only are most long guns illegal; long guns are NEVER seen in the city and would almost certainly end badly for the OCer. However, I will be in NH soon (probably no later than March 1). Once I get to NH, I'm interested in OCing a long gun from time to time. Not only would I be safer, I think it would be a great way to remind people that handguns aren't the only self-defense tools.
Since I've seen others on this forum suggest carrying at 'low ready' I think I should make it clear this would not be my intent. I would probably carry muzzle-down slung across my back.
Are there any legal prohibitions or restrictions regarding the carry of long guns? Also, I'm curious if NH has magazine capacity laws (here in CA I think the limit is 10 rounds on long guns, as it is on handguns).
