Published Wednesday, April 21, 2010, in the Daily News, Red Bluff, Calif. carrying guns in public SACRAMENTO (AP) — Siding with law enforcement authorities, California lawmakers on Tuesday advanced leg- islation that would make it illegal to openly carry a gun in public, even if it’s unloaded. The bill cleared its first committee after an emotional debate that pitted public safety concerns against Second Amendment rights cited by gun owners. ‘‘I think it puts all of us at such great risk,’’ said Assem- blywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, one of four Democ- rats who voted for the ban. Two Republicans on the Assembly Public Safety Com- mittee voted against the bill, which now goes to the appro- priations panel. Current California law allows gun owners to carry a rifle or handgun in a holster in public if it is unloaded. The bill’s author, Assemblywoman Lori Saldana, D-San Diego, said unloaded guns pose a threat, in part because gun owners are allowed to carry ammunition and could load their weapon within seconds. To emphasize her point, she wore a bulletproof vest while testifying before the committee. Law enforcement also can’t tell whether a gun is unloaded when approaching a person, said Lt. Wayne Bilowit, legislative advocate for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. ‘‘If you’re carrying a gun and a magazine next to it, if you make a sudden movement, we don’t know if the gun is loaded or unloaded,’’ Bilowit said. ‘‘Sooner or later, some- one is going to get hurt.’’ Florida, Illinois, Texas and the District of Columbia have a similar open-carry ban, according to the Legal Communi- ty Against Violence, a public interest law center based in San Francisco. While California and 34 other states allow people to carry guns without a license, only California, North Dakota and Utah require that the weapon be unloaded. Republicans on the Assembly committee complained the Democratic-controlled Legislature already has adopted too many laws restricting legitimate gun ownership in the state. ‘‘Basically, the ones that are using these laws, the law- abiding citizens, are the ones being hurt here, not the crim- inals,’’ said Assemblyman Curt Hagman, R-Chino Hills. In California, loaded weapons can be carried in public only by those who have a concealed-weapons permit, which would not change under the Saldana bill.

Feld was awarded the contract. “We were in discussions with Feld representatives up until three weeks ago,” Eidman said. “At that point, Matthews said Feld was too busy (to do the show) and had told him he could have it.” Tuesday, a letter from Matthews was read to the board saying, due to personal and family issues, he was unable to do a show this year. “His request was to roll over (the deposit) to next year,” Eidman said. Matthews had put down a $20,000 non-refundable deposit as a part of the signed proposal, but a contract for the event had not been signed. The board was divided on what to do about the deposit, with one member pointing out that carrying it over to the next year was like giving him a refund. FEE Continued from page 1A lower, the agency may reconsider its fee. Supervisor Charlie CRIME Continued from page 1A The intervention aspect comes in the form of the county’s Adult Felon Drug Court, a 14-month program that serves as an alternative to prison. The program is designed to integrate non-violent drug offenders into society instead of imprisoning them, and officials have said it pro- duces a lower recidivism rate than imprisonment. In February, the Board of Super- visors applied for a federal grant to more than triple the capacity of the program. Parker said he could not prove his approach, and not other factors, is responsible for the decrease in major crimes. But the results speak for themselves. “I don’t think you can say they’re directly responsible,” he said. “You just have to look at the overall picture. Was there anything different we were doing eight years Calif. bill would prohibit Continued from page 1A ABUSE village to raise a child really does apply, Fawver said. “One child is too many,” she said. “It only takes one caring person in a child’s life to make the difference, and we all have the capability to be that one person who steps up.” Blue ribbons represent that small positive actions taken by each individual and use of cannabis with a doctor’s recommendation. Supervisors pushed for marijuana controls as a matter of public safety. Supervisor Bob Williams, who drafted the ordinance, has argued that medical marijuana growths attract armed robberies and endanger neighborhoods. Supervisor George Russell, who voted for the ordinance, has repeatedly called the proposition vague, and part of a larger pattern of laws sorted out by California courts instead of the Legislature. Russell has justified his vote by saying he has to do what he believes is best for the county, even if future court cases mean the county must rethink its approach. “When it’s not going to happen now, what’s to say it will happen next year,” said Board Vice Presi- dent Pete Dagorret. “This was start- ed in December. Six months is plen- ty of time to get it up and running. It’s a big mess and the only thing I’m concerned about was the con- tract wasn’t signed.” Director Ray Bianchi said the deposit should be forfeited because Matthews signed the Request For Proposal, which said the deposit was non-refundable. Other directors mentioned the potential for a lawsuit. “We don’t have a leg to stand on with no contract,” Tonya Redamonti said. The matter was referred to the Fairs and Expositions Contract Department for an opinion and will be discussed at a fair board meeting after an opinion has been delivered. The board also discussed and approved moving forward on the Iron Horse Round-Up, which is to be a high-end motorcycle show, Redamonti said. Willard, who opposed the original ordinance, was the sole no vote. “I think this is a terrible idea,” he said. “You’re asking people to pay for legal patient’s rights.” Prop. 215 patients with questions about the ordi- nance were asked by Prather to contact either Gieringer at 415-563-5858 or E.D.

This will be Kool April Nites in the form of bikes.” The event would be held the third weekend of July 2011 and event organizers are in the process of looking for sponsors, she said. The event will have a poker run on Sunday to raise money for a Tehama County charity yet to be determined, Redamonti said. Redamonti gave an update on the Fourth of July Heritage Days event and said the 2010 event will be “a bigger and better event by far than last year.” Golden Tickets for $100 each will be available soon. There will only be 300 sold.
