you live in califorina tho... aka Communist America! lol jk jk... don't get angry! lol I'm from Kentucky, we don't have a whole lot of problems with our police there, except in the bigger cities. We also have no problems with people who carry guns (legally of course) as long as you are following the law. Handguns must be holstered unless you have a really good reason to draw it or you are in transit to/from somewhere where you have a legit reason for having it out an visible, and if u don't have a CCW permit, it must be plainly visible even when holstered. Rifles are usually required to be carried unloaded unless using them for sporting/hunting/recreational use. In my small town hometown, nobody really cares as long as you aren't being stupid and or threatening someone with it. Here in FL where I'm stationed now, the laws are very similar to KY, concealed carry is allowed with a permit (mine from KY is valid here) otherwise recreational/self defense use of a non-concealed firearm is okay. I've never actually seen/heard of anyone in the US (except in Cali) havin' trouble with the police over their toy guns for cons... usually ppl in costumes are a source of ammusement for the police. That being said, I've stayed a while in KY, FL, TN, AL, and GA and never had any trouble with the police, but they do seem to think they need a lot of officers for a routine traffic stop. 2 on a suspicious stop I can understand... but anymore is overkill unless u have a good reason.
