On a high note, the case Doe v. City and County of San Francisco-- 136 Cal.App.3d 509 (1982)-- held that a city ordinance banning handgun possession was illegal under state constitution. A great day for pistol and revolver owners everywhere, as no city in the state may now have such an ordinance. A state proposition banning handguns failed by 66% margin in 1982 also.
camoflauging firearm container = e.g. a belt buckle or wallet cover for a derringer, or the briefcase HK94.
unconventional pistol = smoothbore pistol (i.e. a shotgun of pistol size or design)
sandbag = a blackjack, a sock with a billiard ball in it, etc.
billy = baton, chopped baseball bat, truncheon
Also illegal to possess ballistic knives, flamethrowers, machine guns, undetectable knives, undetectable firearms, tracer ammo (except for shotgun tracer ammo), incendiary or explosive ammo, any ammo containing a flechette dart, certain types of exotic shotgun ammo.
Some cities have ordinances against carrying knives over 3" in public.
Basically, they pass these laws with the intent of discretionary enforcement; they could care less whether you or I have them, but they use these rules to disarm gangs and any suspicious people particularly in urban areas. It still sucks to know that technically I'm a criminal though. Guilty! ;-)
