Governor Jerry Brown today signed Assemblymember Anthony Portantino's legislation banning the open carry of rifles and shotguns in California cities. Portantino represents part of Monrovia.
Violations are a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a fine of up to $1000. Law enforcement personnel are exempt as are hunters and others carrying unloaded weapons under specified licensed circumstances and in most rural areas.
