Assemblymember Gipson Introduces Bill to Close Open-Carry Loophole

Legislation to close dangerous loophole in firearm open-carry law introduced on first day of Legislative Session

(Sacramento) – Marking the beginning of the 2017 Legislative Session, this afternoon, Assemblymember Mike A. Gipson (D-Carson) introduced Assembly Bill 7 which will close a loophole in firearms law. This piece of legislation is the beginning of a series of bills aimed to close loopholes in gun safety legislation in order to fight the NRA and keep communities across California safe. Current law bans the open carry of rifles in incorporated areas, but does not include unincorporated areas of the state, like East Los Angeles and parts of Compton and Carson that have tens of thousands of residents. This bill will prohibit the open carry of weapons like rifles and shotguns in unincorporated areas and will instead require counties to designate specific areas where this practice is lawful.
