Assemblyman Portantino was quoted in the Sacramento Bee to say, "Open carrying of weapons is something that belongs on a Hollywood movie set, not on Main Street or Starbucks.

They argued the open carry movement has not led to any altercations that would merit the ban.

Call the members of the Senate Public Safety Committee today and insist on a "NO" vote on AB 144.

GOC played a significant role in the defeat of AB 1934 and will again team up with our friends in the Open Carry movement to defeat AB 144.  They include Responsible Citizens of California and OpenCarry.org to name just a few…
