Open carry laws may be about to be restored in California. In the recent case of Young vs Hawaii, the 9th Circuit ruled that open carry was guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. The court said that people have a Constitutional right to carry guns in public for self-defense.
It was a subpanel of the 9th Circuit that ruled on this decisions. We are awaiting a ruling from the full court. That decision could pave the way for open carry rights to be restored in California.
Prior to 2012, anyone legally permitted to own a gun could carry an unloaded handgun in public.
This so-called "open carry" exception to California's gun laws applied as long as the gun was in plain sight and the individual was not in a prohibited area.
However, California's "open carry" right was repealed effective January 1, 2012. This is the date on which California Assembly Bill 144 went into effect as Penal Code 26350.
Thanks to Penal Code 26350, the open carrying of both loaded and unloaded handguns in public is now illegal.
