California Gun Free School Zone Act loophole !!
AB1934 is still alive but the proponents did not seem to be aware that there is a gaping loophole in the bill. The 1995 California Gun Free School Zone Act which created 1,000 foot "gun free" zones around school boundaries was rolled into the bill with its exemptions intact. That means that the one place you can be absolutely certain it is legal to Openly Carry a handgun is at a business (e.g., Starbucks), residence or private property located within 1,000 feet of a K-12 public or private school.
In other words, AB1934 creates an oasis of Open Carry around every school. I'm not sure that is what the proponents had intended.
The ban only applies to handguns so it will still be legal to Open Carry rifles and shotguns everywhere it was before the bill became law, if it becomes law.
STOP PRESS: Just saw AB1934 Lori Saldana has to place the call on Yes votes 18 to Noes 17 @1445 8/30/2010
