This video discusses the California Assembly's vote on AB 144, a bill to ban the open carry of unloaded firearms. Ed Warley, NRA California State Liaison, explains the arguments made during the debate, highlighting concerns about the bill potentially infringing on Second Amendment rights and the lack of cited problems with current open carry practices. The discussion also touches on the discretionary nature of concealed carry permits in California and how this bill might push the state towards a 'shall issue' system.

This video discusses two anti-gun bills advancing in the California Legislature: AB 144, which would ban open carry of unloaded handguns, and AB 809, which aims to create a long gun registry by requiring gun retailers to report sales records. NRA California State Liaison Ed Warley explains the potential legal ramifications of AB 144, particularly its impact on the 'may issue' concealed carry system in California and how it could lead to litigation forcing 'shall issue' policies, referencing the Prudhomme case. The video also touches on SB 610, a concealed carry reform bill that would change the application sequence and remove liability insurance requirements.
