The author of this Op-Ed is absolutely clueless and is just one of the many things wrong with California. What he means to say is keep law abiding citizens of that state from legally carrying concealed, because guess what buddy, the criminals don't care and they will carry and conceal as much as they like and your ideas just put other people in danger.
Keep concealed guns out of California

Isn't this nice? The LA City Attorney and the Chief of Police advocating against concealed carry. But of course! One has armed security in the building he works in and the other carries every day in the performance of his job. Why would they think concealed carry is okay? They have theirs, let the little guy fight the wolves with sticks and stones.
When California collapses, and its well on its way, its going to be spectacularly bad. I'll have my bowl of popcorn ready.

What a slanted, half-truth piece of editorial crap.
Re: "Twelve states do not require any permit to carry hidden, loaded guns within their borders. Some states’ rules have been so ineffective as to allow felons to carry concealed weapons."
Show evidence please.
NO state allows felons to legally carry. And California CCL laws are so restrictive that arguably the vast majority of concealed carry there is DONE BY FELONS!
Again: "What’s more, if LAPD officers stopped someone with a loaded, concealed handgun, that person could claim to live in a state where permits weren’t necessary, and the officers would be unable to confirm whether it was true." I guess this means LAPD doesn't ask for ID during traffic stops anymore, or worse LAPD can't read a DL or ID card.
And lastly: "Because concealed carry reciprocity poses grave risks, the National Law Enforcement Partnership to Prevent Gun Violence, including the Major Cities Chiefs Assn. and the International Assn. of Chiefs of Police, along with the Assn. of Prosecuting Attorneys, the leaders of Prosecutors Against Gun Violence and many other partners in law enforcement, have strongly opposed it." The list of opposition reads like a front group for the anti-Second Amendment movement.

These people need to look in the mirror -
Some states’ rules have been so ineffective as to allow felons to carry concealed weapons.
It's not the law or the rules that are the problem, it is the enforcement of the law - and California, you are way behind. New rules or laws will never solve the problem.
