Bottom line, if you shouldn't lawfully open carry because a cop just won't like it, should you lawfully carry concealed if a cop doesn't like THAT? How about if they don't like certain political bumper stickers? Displays of religious symbols or garments? Being in a neighborhood, the majority of whose inhabitants are of a different race than your own?
As I said, based on your statements, the problem lies not with concealed OR open carry, but with lawlessness by LEOs in California. How will supinely submitting to this lawlessness make it LESS frequent?
If no citizen ever got prosecuted for armed robbery, do you think armed robbery would become more or less common? EXACTLY the same cost benefit analysis takes place with regard to serious police misconduct.
If police aren't obeying the law, the solution isn't to ignore the law, it's to MAKE the police obey it.
