This anti-civil rights legislation may be a blessing in disguise. One thing that the powerful and well financed anti-civil rights lobby has argued to keep CA from becoming a shall issue state, as most of the states are, is that you can, or could, open carry (even if unloaded). With so many counties being effectively 'no issue' this ban makes those areas de facto no carry.
We may now have something to force CA to become a shall issue state, with the power to pick and choose taken out of the hands of the local political Sheriffs.
