9/6     Did you know back in the old days it was illegal to carry a
        handgun in public but perfectly ok to show off your big
        Tommy gun in the open? Oh Joy!
        \_ Nowadays it's legal to open carry a handgun but not legal to carry
           on concealed (at least in CA).
           \_ I wonder what would happen to you if you strapped on a six
              shooter and started walking around Berkeley or San Francisco.
           \_ Except you're likely to get charged with "brandishing"
              \_ Not if you're just carrying.
               \_ You go try that.  I hope noone thinks you are threatening
                  them in any way shape or form.
                  \_ Don't need to.  I have my CCW.
        \_ The 'old days' were when exactly?
