Hello all, I am new to opencarry.com....
I currently live in Colorado (I'm originally from Santa Ynez - it's in Santa Barbara County, CA), and I'm trying to move to LA, as I am in the process of applying at LASD.
Now, don't anybody get their defenses up, I wholeheartedly support the second amendment and gun rights, and I hate the current restrictions on law-abiding citizens. I come from a long line of second-amendment LEO, and I think that IF I am accepted to the department I will be in a place to help out all of you who carry legally.
My question is: I don't like to travel unprotected - here in Colorado we can have a fully loaded gun in the car as long as there is no round in the chamber, and we can carry fully loaded. When I come out to LA for the testing process I'd like to bring my trusty .32 auto.... however, I only have a 1915 military style holster for it, and it has a button-down flap that covers the gun. I would suppose this would be considered concealed, even if carried openly on my belt.... any thoughts?
I also have a very nice shoulder rig for the same gun, which I prefer as I can draw faster than from any type of belt holster. Are shoulder holsters legal for open carry? A thought.... it does attach to my belt at the bottom, don't know if this would fit into the 'openly carried belt holster' provision.
Any thoughts/suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you all for your continued perserverance and diligence in supporting open carry - I hope in the future to be able to support you as a law enforcement officer.
