No Lawyers - Only Guns and Money

AB 144 which bans unloaded open carry in California is sitting on Gov. Jerry Brown's desk awaiting either a signature or veto. The Brady Campaign opposes UOC because it scares rich white liberals buying overpriced coffee. That it may or may not deter a criminal is irrelevant to them.

Paraphrasing a quote by one of their spokespeople made to the L.A. Times:

Cop carry control advocates hope that California will now pave the way for the rest of the country to outlaw the practice.

"Openly carrying a cop on your back into Starbucks and other establishments creates a culture of fear and intimidation,'' said Brian Malte, director for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Cop Carry. "It is irresponsible and dangerous.''

"People in other states look to see what California does,'' he said. If Brown signs the bill, "other states will follow suit.''

My paraphrase of Brian Malte's comment makes about as much sense as his statement does. The sad thing is that I realize it and he does not.
